As the king said in Luke 19:26, “Yes,’ to those who use well what they are given, even more will be given. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away. This scripture highlights a crucial truth: everyone is entrusted with something by God, no matter how small it may seem. It’s not about the quantity or perceived significance of what we’ve been given, but rather about being faithful stewards of what we have. Many of us believers, overlook the opportunities, relationships, and roles we’ve been given, comparing them unfavorably to more traditional or visible forms of ministry. Yet, the Bible reminds us that we will be held accountable for how we used what we were given here on earth. As we stand before God, will we have used our time, talents, and resources wisely, or will we have let them go to waste? The end is near, and the question remains: what account will we render to God?

✝️ May we be strengthened by the HolySpirit to be faithful stewards no matter how small or big.

When an athlete crosses the finish line, their voice and expression radiate joy and excitement – they shine from the inside out knowing for sure that their hard work indeed paid off. Every athlete knows that success requires rigorous preparation physically, mentally, and emotionally and they also understand that the journey demands patience, endurance, discipline, self-control, trust, and above all faith. Parallel to our faith journey as believers, we’re like athletes training for eternity. While our ultimate victory is secured through Christ’s sacrifice, our journey still requires endurance and obedience. We must trust the process, cultivating patience, self-control, and faith. Unlike athletes, our outcome is guaranteed if we persevere and follow God’s commands. Our journey isn’t just about reaching eternity, but about honoring God and living out our purpose every step of the way.

“1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified”. This passage emphasizes the importance of self-discipline and endurance in our walk with God. Each believer has a unique purpose and strategy ordained by God, Just as athletes tailor their training, we must pursue our specific calling with discipline and purpose, ultimately honoring God and drawing others to Him. Let’s endure to the end, no matter our specific calling or strategy, to receive God’s promises – both now and in eternity.

✝️Whatever challenges come your way, keep pushing forward; for your prize awaits you.

Conviction is the deep-seated confidence in our values, faith, or purpose that drives our actions. While external voices may influence us, it’s the inner voice that must ultimately guide us. Our journey on earth is more spiritual than physical, which requires us to tune into God’s guidance within. Seeking wise counsel is essential, but we must discern what aligns with the Spirit’s leading. History shows us that even Jesus faced opposition by religious leaders, yet His conviction kept Him going. Similarly, Paul’s story serves as a reminder that human backing without God’s conviction can lead us astray. When God empowers us for a purpose, we need both His conviction and the support of others. However, our actions must always align with His will, not just human expectations.

Acts 4:19 showcases the unwavering conviction of Peter and John, who boldly declared, ‘Judge for yourselves whether it’s right in God’s eyes to obey you rather than God.’ This powerful stance reminds us that our loyalty to God’s calling supersedes human expectations. As we pursue the purposes God has entrusted to us, we’ll inevitably face opposition. Yet, we’re called to press on with conviction, trusting that God’s provision accompanies His commission. Even when we can’t see the way forward, His mighty arm is always at work, making a way for us to fulfill our calling. Brethren, I urge you to reflect on the calling that’s been on your heart. Is there something the Lord has been nudging you towards, but you’ve put on the backburner due to fear of what others might say or doubts about its potential impact? I want to remind you that your Father is a God of possibilities. He can take the smallest step of faith and turn it into something life-changing. Don’t let fear or doubt hold you back. Consider the potential, and take that step of faith. Your obedience could be the catalyst for something amazing.

✝️ Let conviction drive your Christian journey 🙇‍♀️
