MAKE THIS WORLD BETTER

“Cush was the father of Nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth.” Genesis 10:8.

We are all in a world full of problems. Interestingly, these problems can never end because the solution to one problem is the beginning of another one. Thus, we will keep solving problems till we all leave this world one by one. If you recall, the first challenges God encountered while creating this beautiful world were that of darkness and disorganization. So, the first problem He solved was that of darkness. “The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep…” Genesis 1:2.

The work of creation was never fully completed. The reason is each of us would have the privilege of solving as many problems as possible in individual’s unique and peculiar way in our ceaseless quest for prominence and survival. You are solution provider to a particular problem of humanity. But unfortunately, majority arrived here and compounded the existing problems rather than proffer solution. Instead of solving the problems they met on ground, they became problems themselves begging for solution.

Just as God intended it; for every problem solved, your personal life and your world get better. This world of ours is this comfortable because some people came and solved some specific problems. Are you a solution provider or problem creator? Identify the needs around you; there are problems in every man’s life, in every community, in every system calling for solutions.

Do not see problem and take off your eyes. The reason God made you to notice them is to be solution agent. Identify your gifts and potentials. What do you have to meet that particular need you have identified? Release your potential which may be in form of time, energy, talent, money, strength etc to solve the problem. If you do, you will be glad to have affected your generation positively.

Forces holding you down to ridicule will die. You will be amazingly blessed today. Enjoy your day!

10 Unique Ways To Serve God

As Christians we are called to be ambassadors for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20), to spread the “Good News” as missionaries throughout the world.  Whether you are helping those in your own neighborhood or have traveled across the ocean to spread the Gospel, serving God is an experience that always brings you closer to Him.  Where are you serving God in your life?  Is it in church?  Maybe in the workplace?  Wherever it is, you can know that your service for the kingdom has probably impacted more lives than you think!  Here are 10 unique ways that you can serve God!

This should be your biggest focus in life as far as service.  Your kids look up to you mom and dad.  They see what you do.  They mimic what you do.  If you are setting bad examples, your kids will probably take some of those into their own families someday.  If you want your kids to be like Jesus, you have to be Jesus to them.  “You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.  You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” (Deuteronomy 11:18-19)  Spend time in the Word with your children.  Pray with them.  Sing praises to God with them.  You only have a very short time with them before they leave the nest, so make your life with them have eternal value!  Also, you must love your spouse.  Really, love on them like tomorrow isn’t going to happen.  Listen to their needs.  Pray for them and with them.  Talk about everything under the sun with them.  Make them feel like they are the only person that you want to grow old with.
One of the most blessed ways you can serve is to pray for God to give you opportunities to serve.  Those unexpected circumstances will shine His glory all over!  These opportunities are endless!  Some examples of things that might come your way are:  a woman has a flat tire on the side of the road, paying for the food for the people behind you at the drive-thru window, or an unexpected, deep conversation with an unbeliever.  If you pray for opportunities to serve, God will definitely give them to you, so keep your eyes open and serve whenever you can!
My brothers and sisters, our pastors do so much for the church and many are not paid nearly enough for all that they do.  We all can step up and serve them!  Ask them over for dinner and game night.  Call them on the phone and see how they are doing.  Ask them if they need prayer.  Offer to take burdens off of them so they can focus on other things.  Pastors are not supposed to be the hands and feet of the church.  The church is supposed to be the hands and feet of the church.  If you allow your pastor to make disciples out of the congregation, your church will thrive beyond your wildest imagination.  So, start groups at your church that can take some of the burdens off of your pastors.  Have an “on-call” group to visit those who unexpectedly go to the hospital.  If your head pastor leads the congregation in worship because you can’t afford a music minister, offer to fill that position for free.  Our pastors need us more than they ever say.  So, I’m saying it now,  Serve God by supporting your church pastors!
Many people have little to no income and rely on help from the community.  You can be the hands and feet of Jesus to them by serving them at a local kitchen or shelter.  When you serve them their food, give them spiritual food too!  Tell them Jesus loves them.  Tell them that He is “the way, and the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6)  Let your joy overflow from you as you show them love and support.
