Invest on the Outside World

If you are a Christian, you should be in a church. Well, you are the church.

When I was younger, I thought it was enough to just perform and serve inside the congregation of believers. I backslid. GOD won me back! This time, it's different.

I have learned along my journey in this path called faith that it is not enough to be a servant in the church. Being a servant of GOD is being able to serve inside and outside the congregation.

Yes, you don't conform to the world. You focus on conforming to our FATHER.

We are given the Great Commission.

Matthew 28:16-20
The Great Commission
16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them ina]">[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

And the Great Celebration - well, to me, that is. hehehe!

Luke 15:7
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

It is not wrong to fellowship with your fellow believers. It is also not wrong to fellowship with people outside your congregation. In fact, the Bible assures us that the heaven rejoices when one unbeliever becomes a believer. We do not have to conform to worldly things. We do not have to agree with everything they say and do. That's why we are asked to be meek and wise with our words and actions. If you are a Christian who just focuses inside the church, go outside and share GOD to others. Invest on them. Invest time on the small things that matter to them. Invest effort on the small things that they love. Invest Invest Invest. I tell you, you will never regret the investment on the spiritual realm. Before you can be a leader, you must first be a servant of all.


Mark 9:35
Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all."

Make an impact. Make a difference. Make a ripple. Tip the scale. Be a blessing. Be different.

ALL THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD ALONE!!!

P.U.S.H.

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!!! GOD CAN SOFTEN EVEN THE HARDEST HEART IN THE WORLD!!!

GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY! GOD IS ALWAYS WITH YOU - NO MATTER WHAT!

KEEP BELIEVING. KEEP FOLLOWING. KEEP OBEYING. KEEP ALL OF IT FOR JESUS CHRIST!

When you feel GOD's love, OVERFLOW!

Oh, that is so good and so true! The body of Christ is not contained in the four walls of a building, but out into the highways and hedges....
