The whole world must hear God’s Word

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15

In 1993, a group called AD2000 United Prayer Track came up with an innovative idea. To help realize their goal of “a church for every people and the gospel for every person by AD2000,” they established a program called “Praying through the Window.”

The “window” referred to an area on the globe from ten degrees to forty degrees north of the Equator, from North Africa and Southern Spain eastward to Japan and the northern Philippines. Almost three billion people live in this area, where the most prominent religions are Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism. For the entire month of October 1993, and again in 1995, millions of Christians prayed for the people in “the 10/40 window.” The goal was that new churches be established, and new missionaries sent to these areas. In 1993 alone, the number of churches in Albania grew from 50 to more than 300, and the number of Christian fellowship groups formed in India rose from an average of three to seventeen each day. If your world consists only of your loved ones, your job, and your church, ask God to open your eyes to the world beyond your world. Begin praying that He will move in those nations. “Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession” (Psalm 2:8 NKJV).

You say, “Can we realistically believe that the world will turn to Christ?” Read this: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You” (Psalm 22:27 NKJV).

When you long for companionship

“Then the Lord God made a woman…and he brought her to the man.” Genesis 2:22

God recognised our need for companionship when He said, “‘It is not good for the man to be alone’…Then…God made a woman…and he brought her to the man” (vv. 18, 22 NIV). Most of us are social beings who are at our best around others. We garner energy and support from them. But there are those who feel a sense of shame over admitting their loneliness. They long for people to share their lives with but feel they must pretend they don’t need anyone.

You should not feel shame for wanting love and social connection. Admitting your desire to be loved and taking a step toward involvement actually requires courage. Accepting that you are a person who needs to connect is healthy. But problems arise when your need for companionship controls you. When you compromise your values in order to be accepted, the results are always negative. Clinging to other people without understanding who they are or what they represent is unhealthy. And the ramifications can have not only lifelong effects but sometimes also life-threatening consequences. Wise decisions about relationships are never to be made with a mind ruled by fear of loneliness or desperation. If that’s where you are, being single is a better alternative right now. It need only be temporary.

So do these three things: (1) Ask God to guide you: “God sets the lonely in families” (Psalm 68:6 NIV). (2) Live by the values you’d want your loved one to hold as well. (3) Start with what you have to give and share with others, rather than with your unmet needs.

Growing through life’s tests

“So you will be completely mature and not lacking in anything.” James 1:4

James writes: ‘Be glad, even if you have a lot of trouble. You know you learn to endure by having your faith tested. But you must learn to endure everything, so you will be completely mature and not lacking in anything. If any of you need wisdom, you should ask God, and it will be given you…But when you ask…you must have faith…Anyone who doubts is like an ocean wave tossed around in a storm. If you are that kind of person, you can’t make up your mind, and you surely can’t be trusted. So don’t expect the Lord to give you anything at all’ (vv. 2-8). Note three things in this Scripture:

1) Your faith grows when it’s tested. You’ll never know the strength of your anchor until you feel the blast of the storm.
2) God will give you wisdom to handle the test. Now, He won’t answer all your ‘whys’. So instead of questioning Him, you need to pray, ‘Lord, how do You want to use this trial to develop me spiritually? How can I co-operate with You to reap the maximum benefit? What changes do You desire to bring about in my life?’ Those are questions God will answer.
3) You must be willing to obey. It’s possible to ask God for wisdom, then debate, stall, or mess around trying to decide whether or not to obey Him. ‘If you are that kind of person…don’t expect the Lord to give you anything at all.’ When God gives you His wisdom, your first response should be: ‘Speak, for your servant is listening’ (1 Samuel 3:10 NIV).

Confidants, constituents, comrades.

“Give to Your servant an understanding heart…that I may discern between good and evil.” 1 Kings 3:9 NKJV📖

Nearly all key relationships in your life can be broken down into three categories: confidants, constituents, and comrades. Let’s look at each.

(1) Confidants. These are the people whose relationships with you are lifelong. They love you unconditionally, stand by you, and have your back in good times and bad. Your best interest is their number one priority. They never seek to use what they know about you for their own gain or throw your secrets back in your face. Paul said concerning Timothy: “I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus. But you know his proven character” (Philippians 2:20-22 NKJV).

(2) Constituents. These people share the same goals, values, and principles you have, but they aren’t always there for you. But having constituents in your life is important. They contribute energy, passion, and enthusiasm. And you can work with them to accomplish common goals and build bridges. Just be sure not to expect constituents to have the loyalty of confidants. They are with you for a reason and a season, and then they move on.

(3) Comrades. These are the people who are attracted to you because of what they are against. They may not get to know you, or even like you, but on the field of battle, they join you as soldiers to defeat a common enemy. Once the fight is over, the relationship ends or at least cools. Your only bond is your common enemy. So get to know who’s in your life: confidants, constituents, and comrades.

Having a Spirit-controlled tongue (2)

_“The tongue is a flame of fire.” James 3:6 NLT📖_

The Bible says, “A tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire” (vv. 5-6 NLT). People living in hot climates know the danger of ravaging bushfires driven by desert winds and can readily identify with these words: “See how great a forest a little fire kindles!” (v. 5 NKJV).

A single spark from a match has started many massive fires. Spreading faster and farther than we might ever imagine, that kind of fire destroys homes and businesses worth millions of dollars, leaving a scorched landscape and devastated lives. Similarly, how many reputations have been ruined by a careless word? The impact of our words spreads far and fast, especially in our digital age. A word tweeted anywhere can be retweeted all over the world in seconds. Like a fire, that word can get out of control and do irreparable damage. Hence James wrote: “No man can tame the tongue” (v. 8 NKJV). But God can. “The fruit of the Spirit is…self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV).

The Holy Spirit can take a tongue that peddles gossip and turn it into one that brings glory to God. He can take a tongue that spews bitterness and turn it into one that speaks blessing. Gossip is saying something behind someone’s back that you would never say to that person’s face. Flattery is saying something to someone’s face that you would never say behind the person’s back. And both are wrong. So let’s join the Psalmist in praying: “May these words of my mouth…be pleasing in your sight, Lord” (Psalm 19:14 NIV).

Rely on God, not yourself

“As a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God.” 2 Corinthians 1:9 NLT📖_

Several men went on a mission trip to Haiti where they met a nineteen-year-old young man who loved Christ deeply. So they invited him to visit them at home and paid for his trip. The young Haitian felt as if he were in another world. He’d never slept between sheets, had three meals a day, used indoor plumbing, or tasted a hamburger.

When it was time to return to Haiti, they asked him for his impressions of what he’d experienced, and he replied: “I have really enjoyed my time here with you. But I am also very glad to be going home. You have so much here that I’m beginning to lose my grip on my day-to-day dependency on Christ.” Paul spoke of a time of trouble in Asia in which he was “crushed and overwhelmed” (2 Corinthians 1:8 NLT). Then he wrote: “As a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God” (v. 9 NLT). And God wants to bring you to that place also. Yes, He wants you to use the gifts and resources He has provided, but His desire is that you rely completely on Him. Only then can He provide everything He desires to give you, because then you will be open, ready, and mature enough to receive it.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear [reverence, respect, obey] the Lord” (Proverbs 3:5-7 NLT).

Overcoming envy

“Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?” Proverbs 27:4 KJV📖

Unlike jealousy, which is the fear of being displaced, envy is ill-will toward those who possess something you want. Jealousy says, “I’m afraid you are going to take what I have.” Envy says, “I want what you have, and I resent you for having it!” Envy is one of the most frequently concealed emotions. You may be more likely to admit to an uncontrollable temper, a phobia, or any other negative emotion than to acknowledge that you are envious.

Envy inevitably leads to resenting and criticising the person you envy. And once you allow envy and resentment to enter your heart, they act like free radicals producing an emotional cancer. Eventually they will manifest themselves in some destructive way, whether it is in the form of taking mood-altering substances, overeating, shopping excessively, lashing out, being sarcastic, or physically harming others. If you harbour envy toward someone, it’s time to deal with it. David wrote: “You desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow” (Psalm 51:6-7 NIV). If you covet what someone else has, ask yourself, “Am I willing to pay the price they paid to obtain it?”

The world has a saying: “There is no such thing as a free lunch.” Everything—except salvation—has a price tag. So whether you want to be thin, rich, educated, or whatever, stop envying the success of others, and ask God to help you succeed in the assignment He has given you for your life.

Learn to listen to God.

“‘Speak, for Your servant hears.’ Then the Lord said to Samuel.” 1 Samuel 3:10-11 NKJV📖

If you are serious about having a truly interactive relationship with the Lord in which you speak to one another and hear from one another, you will need to spend quality, uninterrupted time opening your heart to Him. When Samuel finally prayed, “Speak, for Your servant hears,” the Bible says, “Then the Lord said to Samuel.” All too often, our prayer is “Listen, God, for Your servant is speaking.”

Listening to God can involve a variety of practices: reading His Word, spending time in solitude and silence, and hearing from God just like a seasoned friend you trust. Here’s an example: “As they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, ‘Tell the servant to go on ahead of us.’ And he went on. ‘But you stand here awhile, that I may announce to you the word of God’” (1 Samuel 9:27 NKJV). One of the most effective ways of hearing from God is through meditating on His Word. You say, “But I don’t know how to meditate.” If you know how to worry, you know how to meditate. In both worry and meditation, your thoughts and focus are given to a certain thing. When you meditate on God’s Word, you’re focusing your thoughts on the right thing!

God told Joshua: “This Book…shall not depart from your mouth [speak it regularly], but you shall meditate [focus] in it day and night, that you may observe to do [act on it] according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success” (Joshua 1:8 NKJV).

Prayer is your connection to God.

_“Cry to God all day and all night for the fulfillment of his promises.” Isaiah 62:6 TLB📖_

The remora fish has an oval sucking disc on the top of its head that allows it to attach itself to the underside of a shark. Once attached, the remora does not have to worry about food, transportation, or safety. It feeds on the food that falls from the shark’s mouth. Of course, it has the option of swimming on its own, but when it decides to attach to the shark, it goes where the shark goes.

It does not attempt to go in a direction contrary to the shark. Protection? It’s a non-issue for one that’s connected to such a powerful creature. The remora is secure, and it knows the shark can take it places it could never go alone. Doesn’t this sound like the relationship God desires His children to have with Him? He wants us to feed on the words that come from His mouth. He wants us to go with Him where He leads and not take off on independent excursions, hoping He will tag along. He wants us to live with the assurance that He will protect not only our lives, but also our relationships and all that pertains to us. Oh, that we would emulate the remora!

We would then find ourselves securing our attachment to God on a daily basis through prayer. He is waiting to carry us to places we fear going alone. The prophet Isaiah admonished the Jewish leaders: “Cry to God all day and all night for the fulfillment of his promises.” So the word for you today is this—prayer is your connection to God.

God forgives and forgets (4)

_“He delights in mercy.” Micah 7:18 NKJV📖_

God has a remarkable memory. The Omniscient One doesn’t just know everything; He also remembers everything. In fact, He remembers it before it happens! Every moment of your life was ordained in God’s imagination before it became a memory—every laugh, every dream, and every sacrifice. The Psalmist wrote: “You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed” (Psalm 139:16 NLT).

Nothing is lost on God, not even your tears. He doesn’t just remember them; He collects them in a bottle (see Psalm 56:8 NKJV). There’s only one thing that God can and will forget: confessed sin. So when you confess sin that’s already been confessed, you’re reminding God of something He’s already forgotten (see Isaiah 43:25). The reason we bring it back up is that even though we are forgiven, we don’t feel forgiven. What’s the answer? Don’t give your feelings a voice or a vote, or they will mislead you. Stand in faith, believing what God says in His Word. “I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me” (Jeremiah 33:8 NKJV).

The apostle John put it this way: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9 NKJV). Maybe you’ve struggled with addiction, or your marriage ended in divorce, or you’re in prison for a crime you committed. What should you do? Repent, renounce your sin, receive God’s mercy, and begin to live free from guilt and condemnation.

Be confident of God’s love for you

_“We have put our trust in His love.” 1 John 4:16 NLT📖_
When you fail, God’s love for you does not fail. And to enjoy the fullness of what He wants you to have, you must believe that. The knowledge of God’s love will carry you through to victory when the powers of hell are against you. The knowledge of God’s love will carry you through life’s storms and into a place of peace. God’s love is not restricted to the days when you have performed well. He loves you just as much during the times when you fail.

You need to be confident of His love, especially when you have trials and the devil is accusing you and saying, “Well, you must have done something wrong.” God’s love is not doled out on a merit system. You did nothing to deserve His love; therefore, you can do nothing to forfeit it. John wrote: “We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in His love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect [mature].

So, we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face Him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. [We are clothed in Christ’s righteousness.] Such love has no fear, because [God’s] perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced [and embraced] his perfect love” (1 John 4:16-18 NLT). So be confident of God’s love for you.
