Purpose through the Great Commission

Did you know that God has a very specific purpose for your life? His last command to His disciples should be our first concern—to go and make disciples. However, when we hear this, I think sometimes we convince ourselves that this means we need to sell all we have and move to a different country to be a missionary for Jesus.

While that may be some’s call, what Jesus means is that while we are going…make disciples. Whatever we are doing in our day-to-day life, we should be focused on telling others the Good News. Oliver shared on what’s my story dot org: “I spend time with unbelieving friends weekly at orchestra.

I didn't used to put any significance on that time, but now I understand that it has a purpose--I have a Great Commission, and they are watching me. This informs the way I speak, the way I treat others, the way I act, and the way I work.”

Commitment At All Cost

“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross...”

These verses in Hebrews twelve clearly show us our greatest example of commitment at all cost, and that is our Savior Jesus. He endured trials and suffering for the sake us being saved. And we have the great privilege to tell others this Great News—that Jesus died on the cross for our sins,and purchased eternal life for us. We should be excited to do so! And yes, it can be scary—there can be a cost that comes with sharing the Gospel with others. But Jesus knew there would be a cost and it did not stop Him.

He laid down His life willingly. So we should do the same and use our lives to lovingly and boldly share the Gospel with others. For resources to help you get started, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

Daily God Stories

This week, we’ve been looking at how you can use the platforms that God has given us—our time, treasure, talents, and workplace—for His glory. And today, I'd like to add a final one, and that is your story!

Did you know that God has given you experiences that you can share to point others to Him? We call these God stories, and they come from any event that shows the Holy Spirit's power in our life. One of these, of course, is the testimony of how we came to Jesus; but we also have stories of how God is continuing to grow us in our day-to-day lives. These are powerful as well because they show how the relationship with Jesus makes all the difference.

Both types of God stories are important and great conversation starters for sharing the Gospel. So how has God been moving in your life lately? And who can you share that with?

Your Unique Talent

James one seventeen (1:17) says, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father..." Did you know you have a unique talent that you can bring to the body of Christ?

It's true—we all have different God-given gifts that are important and can be used for God's Kingdom. And we should use these as faithful servants of God's grace to serve others as Peter reminds us in first Peter chapter four. We were given them for a distinct purpose of bringing glory to God and sharing His love. For example, let’s say you are a great cook, consider using those skills to prepare meals for those going through a difficult time and offer them that’s hope found only in Christ.

I knew a sand-sculptor who crafted sculptures related to the Gospel on the beach and stood around to talk to people about them. So whatever God has gifted you with—use it to serve both Him and others.

Out Giving God

"In all of my years of service to my Lord, I have discovered a truth that has never failed and has never been compromised. That truth is that it is beyond the realm of possibilities that one has the ability to out give God.

Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave." Have you ever heard those words before? They were penned by the famous preacher, Charles Hayden Spurgeon. And his words could not be more true—we cannot out give God! All the treasure of this world is His anyway. And when we start looking at our money as God's, generosity takes a whole new level of meaning.

Let me encourage you today to start to seek ways you can give the resources God has given you to further His kingdom here on earth. This is one of the many ways we can use the platforms of our life for His glory.
