Theme: Be on Fire for Jesus
(Acts 16:11-15, Ps 149,Jn 15:26-16:4)
The apostle Paul and his companions as well as the early Christians were on fire for Jesus. As Scripture says ” Zeal of my Father’s house consumes me “.They dedicated their entire life to serve God. But this was not possible if the Holy Spirit was not in charge of their lives.
Our being in this world should be preoccupied by the fact of serving God. We shouldn’t allow worldly materials to distract us from focussing on the kingdom business. As Jesus said his mission on this earth is to do the will of his Father. Our daily task is to do the will of God in our lives. This should be our prayer always.
Carrying out the will of God in our lives comes with some challenges. We can be persecuted in various ways. Some people may even lose their lives because of their faith, as it is happening in some parts of the world. People will hate us because of our faith in Jesus. But once the Holy Spirit continues to dwell in us and he being our advocate, then there is no need to be afraid. Continue to endure in your faith to live for Christ. It is better to be hated by people because of Christ than to be loved and praised by everybody. Be God centered and work for him without any reservations.
May the Holy Spirit help us and set us to be on fire for Jesus. Amen . Have a Blessed Week.
Shalom. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
