WELCOME TO MONTH FEBRUARY: DOING LIFE DIFFERENTLY – AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR!
Do something different this month. Break through that fear of boredom and set patterns and methods. Ensure your life on principles, for our God, is not of methods but of principles.
Therefore, do something differently from the set usual that have not made anything refreshing, rejuvenating and blossoming in you, by doing it in this wise, but not limited:
* Close the kitchen and take time out to have a special meal with family and possibly friends outside home or the usual. Take your spouse out for a different kind of date from the usual. Drive through a different route to and from Church, work or places of interest. Make new and different kind of friends and interest along. Mark 6:39-32; 1 John 3:16-17; James 2:14-18.
*Break through the usual pattern of settings in order to refresh and rejuvenate your laugh. As a Pastor close the church for a week and take members for a picnic or places of interest and have leisure as Jesus did, you won’t lose them. Go for a sporting, boat ride or ship cruise were possible. Go worship in a different Church outside your denomination or setting or go to another branch of your denomination setting and live free to learn of others beyond your usual. In heaven we crave after, there’s no DENOMINATION but BRETHREN, therefore learn now to fellowship with others beyond your settings. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Mark 6:30-32; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29; James 1:26-27; Acts 15:35-36.
* Feed your enemy, give them a drink, for when a man’s way please the Lord, He makes his enemy to be at peace with him. Do you believe it, and can you do it? Proverbs 25:21-22; Romans 12:19-21; Proverbs 16:7; Matthew 5:38-48; 1 John 3:14-15.
* Take someone new to the groceries for shopping and pay the bills. Where possible give someone a home or shelter, mobility and suchlike. Galatians 6:9-10.
*Live your life outside the box this month. Make peace, relate with those that hurts you though they are the wrong and give God something to work with. Matthew 5:38-48; Romans 12:18-19.
* Resolve not to murmur, complain, nag and blame but take responsibility for once at least this month. It’s time to speak well and whole to all about you again and again. 1 Corinthians 10:10; Proverbs 6:2; Proverbs 18:20-21; Luke 4:22: Hebrews 10:23.
*Dare to do something different this month by taking a good time of yours for an hour or a day or couples to give someone a helping hand of your skill or trade or mentoring without asking for a pay or reward, more especially to the have not or unskilled or limited by some factors. 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12; Galatians 5:13; Ephesians 6:5-9; Luke 2:46, 52.
* You are of the New Testament, live your life beyond borders, hence visit your Unchurch friends and share love, hope and faith with them. For once, be of earthly good in your heavenly mindedness. Colossians 4:5-6; 1 Thessalonians 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13; Galatians 5:6; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29.
BREAK THROUGH YOUR FEARS – ESPECIALLY YOURSELF THIS MONTH: BE A DIFFERENT AMBASSADOR FROM THE USUAL.
Do all things in grace, surely you will be bless.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Finally, brethren, WHATSOEVER things are true, WHATSOEVER things are honest, WHATSOEVER things are just, whatsoever things are pure, WHATSOEVER things are lovely, WHATSOEVER things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.
“And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him ALL THINGS, both what they HAD DONE, and what they HAD TAUGHT. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves APART into a DESERT PLACE, and REST A WHILE: for there were MANY COMING AND GOING, AND THEY HAD NO LEISURE SO MUCH AS TO EAT. 32 And they DEPARTED into a DESERT PLACE by ship PRIVATELY” Mark 6:30-32.
“Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20.
