A goal to prevail in our life is a common and natural human desire and the default of human nature no matter color,race or gender because we are made in God's picture and carry his characteristics and more able to chieve and accopmlish in life when we know him better and walk tightly with him.
Jesus was sent to earth to show us the sample son of and what God expects from all who become his children through faith in him.Every thing Jesus accomplished we can accomplish also.The miracles he performed we can do the samebecause the same power that enabled him has been given to us through the holy spirit.
Jesus did eveything successfully with no mention of delay or repeating the miracles or any other kind of issues.
But the more interesting thing is what he said to his desciples that you can do the same like me and even greater things than these.
We live in a time where we can witness with our own eyes the truth of this prophecy due to internet and technology.This is applicable to the spiritual and material realm.
Whether christians through preaching,travelling,and teaching the word are reaching millions of people in shorter periods of time or whether christians making inventions or using their talents to help humanity in
different range of services to make this world a better place to live in.
Reading the bible and knowing about what God and Jesus have done and can do for us is one thing but knowing that the same power is available in us and to us to do even greater things is what ignites the spark inside us to work deligently with what we are entrusted with.
Do not listen to those people in the church who always belittle working in the kingdom of God and encourage sitting at his feet!!!
Or those slothful pastors who always use Martha and Mary's story to discourage the most fruitful christans from working and serving while they themselves never sit at his feet.
Can you imagine in any nation the ministers just sitting at the president's feet?who will run the government and carry on the services?
There is time for praying and refreshment every day like Jesus did before he started his day,but in his years of public ministry he never stopped working.In fact he worked many times on the sabbath which was the day of rest commanded by God himself to show that people were more important to him than keeping the law because he is the lord of the sabbath and flexibilty for human's sake is prioritized
over the rigidity of the religion.
I believe one of the reasons why Jesus has not come yet, in addition to unfulfilled prophecies of his second coming ,is the lack of workers in his kingdom.He said that when you hear of wars ,earthquakes ,plagues ect the end is not yet,
but when the gospel
is preached
to all the people
then the end
will come.
This shows very clearly that his second coming is mostly connected to us christiams in how quickly and globally we reach the nations with the good news.
What is important here to know is the role that every believer plays.Not everyone is called to travel the world or do what others do and that is where the importance of prayer comes to reveal to each one God's will and plan for that specific individual becuase God doesn't make copies
but has a unique plan and purpose for each and everyone.
As entering a new season we ask God to download new purposes and plans for us to step out in faith
and by the Holy spirit's power and help
we accomplish them successfully for his glory
and for adding more rewards
to our heavenly accounts.
