So many things we have to face as long as we still live in this world. The problem will never be exhausted, but it will keep coming. Being a follower of Christ does not mean that we will escape from trouble, but we will get strength from God to get through the problem.
The apostle Paul himself was also aware of it. He had so many problems in his life. Not only the usual problems, but to mayhem and misery that nearly took his life.* Courtesy of PelitaHidup.com"For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21
The Apostle Paul understood that if he was not in this world again, he will not have problems anymore and do not need to bother as he was feeling at that moment. But he remains aware that his life belongs to Christ. And if he was alive, he must continue to work to bear fruit for the glory of Christ's name.
We saw a lot of family members, friends, acquaintances and people who are called by God first. Those who have believed in Jesus will receive his reward in Heaven. They had previously run a task given by God for them and their tasks have been completed.
And what about us who are still alive? Just as it was delivered by the Apostle Paul, we must realize that we live with a purpose. And we have a duty to bear fruit for the kingdom of heaven, be it the fruit of repentance, the fruit of service, fruit and other souls.
We can serve God wherever we are. Service for the souls not only in the church, but also outside the church. So many people are not affordable and not know Christ. Through each of our individual, God can use our lives to be witnesses of Christ. People around you will see the lives we live so that they will be blessed through our lives.* Courtesy of PelitaHidup.comLet us continue to work to bear fruit for Christ. No word is completed as long as we still live in this world. Even today we still do not know what we should do, just do the good and the commandments of the Lord hath said. By living according to the Word of God, do not deviate to the left and right, we have taken part to bear fruit for Christ.
Not only that, those of us who work in the secular world, let us work in earnest. For self-employed, let it do its business in accordance with the truth. For those who are study, may study hard. For those who have jobs in the service of the Lord, let it serve with a pure heart. Whatever we do, let's do it seriously as we do for God.* Courtesy of PelitaHidup.comGod will continue to add talent to each person who diligently and faithfully through their work and perform commands. He will continue to lift our lives and He will always give strength to our lives.
There are times when we feel tired, but if we have exhausted it, let us come to God. He will give new strength to our lives. And we will never stop working to give fruit. Hallelujah!
"But those who wait for the Lord got a new power: those who go up is like a flying eagle with its wings power, they run and not be tired, they walk and not become weary. "Isaiah 40:31
