Be all-out for God

Beloved: grace, mercy and peace be yours immeasurably from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. I am glad to welcome you into the month of July 2020, the first month in the second half of this year. And I pray that God will so occupy your heart with joy in this last half of the year that you will forget whatever pains or losses you experienced in the first half of the year, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Now I want to enjoin you, as we begin this second half of the year, to be all-out for God in everything. In other words, don’t take half measures in your worship of God or go half way in your devotion to Him. Instead, give yourself fully to Him in worship and in service. That is because that is the only way to enjoy Him in all His fullness and also have His approval.

Prove yourself profitable with what is available

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?” (Luke 16:10-12NIV)

When God first made man, He told him to rule over the earth, subdue it and replenish it. But we see clearly from Scriptures that God did not immediately leave him to start moving round all the face of the earth in order to fulfill the mandate He had given him. Instead, He first put him in a small garden, the garden of Eden. And He did that to teach us that until we have learnt to manage that which is little and profit with it, there is no way we can manage that which is great and be fruitful with it. (Cf. Gen 1:26-29 & 2:4-8)
