THE LIVING WATER
DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
Sunday, December 23, 2018
TOPIC: USEFUL VESSEL
Read: Luke 10:38-42
MEMORISE: And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word (Luke 10:39).
EXPOSITION
Martha welcomed Jesus into her home. Her act of service may seem small compared to works like the Apostle Paul’s missionary trips and letters. But she and her family provided a place of rest and refreshment for the saviour, which must have been a welcome pause in His life. It is true that Jesus once corrected Martha for placing much emphasis on the details of hospitality (Luke 10:41); nevertheless, when He visited her home, He no doubt anticipated for food and fellowship with people He loved. God’s plan for every believer is made up of a lifetime of small opportunities. No matter what our career or calling may be, we should seek ways to serve the Lord daily. We do this by ministering-wherever we are to family members, friends, neighbours, and co-workers.
Since the Lord gives His children gift and talents suitable for fulfilling His purpose, we know that He wants to use us. The question we should be asking is, “Can God use me?” That is, have we made ourselves available to follow Him in any circumstance? The areas of service set aside specifically for us are waiting. No one knows ahead of time exactly what God will require, but we can be sure He will equip us with the right tools for the task.
Are you ready to say, “Yes, God can use me”? If so, then tell the Lord you are available to work for Him in any way He desires. He will respond by placing people and opportunities in your path. Through His strength, you will do more to further the kingdom than you ever imagined-one day and one small act of service at a time.
PRAYER POINTS
1. The grace to be available for God’s use, rest on me, now, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, equip me with the right tools in order to function in the area you want me in Your vineyard.
3. Let all Your children be preoccupied for You and release the unction to function on them, O Lord.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Habakkuk 2 -3 & Zephaniah 1- 2
GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY SUNDAY, DO HAVE AN AWESOME MOMENT IN GOD'S PRESENCE, AS YOU WORSHIP HIM, TODAY.
JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK VERY SOON, BE READY
