Application (not
yes or no question. Meant to bring about
heart change):
1.How do my thoughts better resemble the mind of Christ
since before I was saved and how does this impact how I minister to
others? One lesson I learned recently,
because God is constantly growing me, is that “my” resources are really His
resources, so if He wants to use the resources He gives me to help someone
else, I should be ok with that. Also, if
He brings someone into my life, I am to minister to them in some way. The major change I’ve seen in my life is less
selfishness.
2.Is your motivation for serving God based on glorifying
Him or something else and how does your behavior support this? Because I don’t like to owe anyone anything,
I have served God thinking I could pay Him back or earn my salvation. The more I know about Him and His character,
the more I realize there is nothing I can do to earn my salvation. The price paid is way too high. Now, I seek to make His name know to others,
putting Him front and center when I teach, facilitate, testify or worship. It took me a long time to get involved in
choir because I used to love receiving applause and compliments. But I knew God was calling me into it and He
has blessed me with more Christian friends, new ministry opportunities and
feedback that people are blessed because of my participation
