22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men that I might by all means save some.
DAILY READING Luke 17; Genesis 29:1-30; Psalm 22
George Washington, the first President of the United States of America. was a remarkable man of God. When he was leading the Continental Army and helping the American colonies to become free of British rule, he prayed often. He would go into the woods to pray. Several miracles show that God heard his prayers.
In 1755, after a battle he wrote, ‘I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me yet I escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my companions on every side of me!” George Washington was successful as a General because he honored God, and God in turn honored him.
One key learning you must have is to use every position God has granted you to serve Him and expand His Kingdom. Wherever you are in life use the opportunity to serve God. Don’t be a secret service Christian, where your Christian identity is kept undercover. Let your dedication to God be known to all men. You may not literally carry the Bible everywhere, but your stance and defense of the gospel are testimonies of your allegiance to God. And this is indeed honoring God. Use your position to preach the gospel and expand God’s territory. Don’t be ashamed to preach the Gospel. Jesus said if you are ashamed of Him before men, He will be ashamed of you before God. Learn to Honor God by serving Him in all your endeavors.
Live a life worthy of the Gospel you preach. Do not bring mockery to God by how you conduct your affairs. Men are constantly watching you to see if your life measures up to your claim to be a Christian. And when they see you are genuine, it will be an added reason for them to follow Christ.
You are where you are only by God’s grace. And the more you uplift Him before men, the more He will also elevate you to higher positions so that you can keep proclaiming His name.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to make your Word top priority in my life, help me to lift up your name always before men, using every available opportunity to preach The Gospel…
