THE MOST PRECIOUS THING

 

“So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs. John 21:15

Before Jesus gave Peter the task and responsibility of feeding His sheep, He asked him the one question: Do you love me? Jesus did not ask Peter if he was a gifted speaker, a talented leader or test his knowledge of the law, but just asked: Do you love me?

 

This shows us that the essence of effective ministry will always be an overflow of our love relationship with Jesus. Peter and the other disciples were ordinary fishermen from a backward and lowly part of the country. They were nobodies or nonentities till Jesus called them.

 

When Moses appointed the elders over Israel, the qualification was not their knowledge or family lineage, physical appearance, or special talent but rather to fear God and shun evil (Exodus 18:21)

 

If we were to see things the way God does, we would see the immense value of godly character that comes from loving God and shunning evil. In fact, it is the most precious thing that we possess in God’s sight.

 

Examine your life in the light of what the Bible tells us in Micah 6:8
    “And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy

    and to walk humbly with your God.”. 

CONVICTED BY YOUR CONSCIENCE

Often, the loudest rebuke is the one from the inside of us. Because the motive of our heart cannot be concealed, and no one knows us better than we do ourselves. So, if we are convicted by our conscience, there is hope for us.

MY STRONGHOLD

30 October 2024

When Jesus said in Mark 5:36, ‘Do not be afraid; only believe,’ He showed us where our stronghold is. No matter what statistics say, no matter what your situation says, no matter what the voice of your society says, we have no other refuge than this command of Jesus, ‘Only believe.’
