Remain Faithful...!

Acts 14:21-22 NKJV

And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying,  “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.”

Shalom! Day #344. Do you know that it is easy for a camel to go through the needles hole, than for an unbeliever to enter the kingdom of God? Let's pray. Father, we pray that we will stand strong and remain faithful to You till the end of our lives. Give us the strength to breakthrough every obstacles,  every odds, every trials and tribulations that we may be found worthy to enter Your kingdom. In Jesus name we ask and pray,  amen!

I discovered something new from this verse as I was reading it today. The Holy Spirit taught me something new from this verse. The works or the ministry of a servant of God or a believer is just to be busy in the ministry,  but as well as taking time to encourage fellow believers, continue to strengthening their faith, continue in building them up. Most of the time, we as a servant of God are carried away with the busyness of doing this and that, whereby we totally forget and pay no attention to our fellow workers, servants, believers and followers.

Being a Christian leader, a servant of God, a believer and a follower of Christ isn't an easy task. It's not even the easy way of living. Being a Christian leader, a servant of God, a believer and a follower of Christ means to be able to breakthrough all obstacles, all odds and all impossibilities. A few things I learned today from this verse and I would like to share it with you.

1. Do not neglect your fellow servants,  followers, believers.
⊙ the bible says that we are to love one another,  care for one another.

- as it is written in Acts 20:2 NKJV Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came to Greece... Apostle Paul demonstrated the means of being a leader. Paul dearly loved his fellow servants. He always encourages them to stand strong and run the good race. As we serve the Lord together, we are to encourage one another and build one another. Let there be no any selfish gain amongst the brethren.

2. Now the second thing is to Remain Faithful.
⊙ many of us are shaken when we go through tribulations. Trouble and problems is a bad word for them.

- You must face the giants! No matter how hard your life treats you, stand strong and face it like a man! Remain faithful to your calling, to you beliefs as a follower of Christ and never in any situation denounce your faith. I salute to all those Christian martyrs, who till the very end of their lives, knowing that they are going to die, they remained faithful. How about us today? We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.

In this life we as a believer can choose to encourage one another and build them and be the instrument that would bring them to a place of significance or you can choose to bite them, don't bother them and neglect them. The choices are in your hands. Choose wisely. You have the key to change and make a difference in a persons life.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
