Topic: Become A Channel To Reach Others.

Memory Verse:. 2 Corinthians 3:3 As a result of our ministry, you are living letters written by Christ, not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God—not carved onto stone tablets but on the tablets of tender hearts.

Bible Reading :2 Corinthians 3:1-2 TPT. Key Verse: v2.

Are we beginning to sound like those who speak highly of themselves? Do you really need letters of recommendation to validate our ministry, like others do? Do we really need your letter of endorsement? Of course not! For your very lives are our “letters of recommendation,” permanently engraved on our hearts, recognized and read by everybody.

The lives of great early believers whom God used to shape Christianity are worth emulating. Paul stood out among new testament believers whose lives we must always watch closely as to follow their examples. He poured out his entire life and being into the ministry he received from the Lord without reservations. Even when some people among Corinthian believers was uncomfortable with his leadership style as to challenge his authority and first letter written to address issues among early believers in the city of Corinth. When some people that didn’t like correction was trying to dent his personal intergrity through false accusations and reports, he had to let them know that even themselves or their own changed lives was enough evidence or proof of God’s seal over his life and ministry.

Today we have to learn as believers to allow our lives to be totally submitted to the Holy Spirit so that we can become instrumental in his mighty hands to influence the lives of others around us to serve God just like ourselves. This cannot be possible if we don’t come to God with a right mindset. In our days majority of Christians around the world are more interested in using God to meet their needs, whatever happens to the kingdom of God around them is of secondary importance. Such people with this type of mindset can never be serious believers God can depend on to influence the lives of others around them to a point where they can come to know and serve Jesus our master. This is because many are no more living for eternity or with eternity in focus. People that fill our churches are more concerned about how to solve numerous immediate problems around them than rendering service to God and his people. “If the only benefit of our hope in Christ is limited to this life on earth, we deserve to be pitied more than all others!” 1 Corinthians 15:19.

Today we have to learn to have a hunger within us to be men and women who can impact the lives of others. If you have been a believer for many years, how many people around you have you been able to be an encouragement to? Are there souls you can point whom your impact in their spiritual lives can be seen as evidence our your Christianity or walk with God just like Apostle Paul? Note that at the local level, within the place you find yourself, there are souls God is depending on you to reach, touch and challenge the trajectory of their lives. But sometimes you may be so occupied with your selfish needs as to turn blind eyes to the needs of the Spirit. Ask the Lord today to open your eyes to people around you he wants you to be used to reach and change their lives. “All praises belong to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he is the Father of tender mercy and the God of endless comfort. He always comes alongside us to comfort us in every suffering so that we can come alongside those who are in any painful trial. We can bring them this same comfort that God has poured out upon us.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for saving me in order to use my life and reach out to others around me. From today, help me not to be always occupied by self. Open my eyes to men around me you want to use my own life to transform. Help me to be used to change the lives of others to serve you in Jesus wonderful name… Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Proverbs 5:1-23.
