What are we doing to advance God’s work?
Are we really involved in the activities of our places of worship?
Do we make serving God a priority?
When we make plans to clean the church, we think we’re so beautiful or so busy that we put ourselves down for wasting our time.
When we plan to go to evangelism, no one is available, any excuse is good for us to be absent.
Contributing to the advancement of the kingdom of God,
means giving priority to the interests of the kingdom of God,
it means putting the Lord first.
The parable of the talents challenges us and illustrates the reality that we will have to give an account of all the gifts, including our material possessions, that the King of glory has entrusted to us.
The Lord asks us to do one thing: “Make them good until he comes again.
The Lord’s work is sometimes stagnant because we are not faithful in using our possessions for his work.
Let us ask the Lord how to use the abilities he has entrusted to us.
Kingdom advancement means taking the Gospel of God to a new dimension,
which means expanding the frontiers even further.
The Church needs to get ahead of the issues and expand the frontiers, in the best directions, with the certain aim of achieving wonderful things.
In Acts 4:29, we see Christians coming together and praying for God’s will to be done.
They were not concerned about their personal needs, but they insisted on asking God for full assurance to proclaim the Gospel in the midst of persecution.
In the same way, when the apostle Peter was in prison, they never stopped praying for him.
Nowhere do we see them doing this for their own material or physical needs. It is a quality of relationship with the Lord that we rarely see today.
John, 6:27 – Work, not for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.
Pray for an effective contribution to the advancement to the kingdom of God.
Let us not wear ourselves out for fleeting things, things that have no value.
Let us pursue the works of the spirit that give us access to the glory of God.
Jesus wants to introduce us to the true bread that is the Lord, just as the manna was the true bread given by God at a time of food shortage in the desert.
Here he wants to make us want to eat spiritual bread, not physical bread.
It is those who are fed spiritually who can raise up the kingdom of God in the world.
Good morning to you all
Good day to you
