THE GOD IN US
Francis Kaponda
MMM Field Officer, Malawi
"For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:6-7
When we say we are children of God do we really understand? Apart from accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour and living in ways that pleases God, being children of God means that God gave us his spirit so that we fear not, we are powerful, we are loving and smart.
How many times have we doubted our ability in venturing in actions that would have positively uplifted our lives and that of others. We have at times refused to take on church positions or assignments out of fear and undermining our abilities among others. When we do this, it becomes an insult to God who made us able and with all we need to take up challenges.
As children of God we have the duty to fan into flame the gift of God which is in us and get it to proper use. Our only limitation in what we can do is our deficient faith. May we realize that with a little bit of faith and the gift of God in us, we can really do anything, our word can create, and our mind influences our physical world. Let us realize this and get our gifts to use in ways that are beneficial to others, more especially the most needy within our community and beyond.
Attaching ourselves to God’s missions like that of MMM is one way of putting our gifts to use. We thank God for the use of these gifts through fundraising for MMM, for being available to physically volunteer for MMM and for working hard in our daily businesses to have some donations to MMM. We thank you all. Your contribution can never go unrewarded right here on earth and in the life after.
Application Question: Do I know I am God’s Child?
Prayer: Dear Lord, help me realize all the gifts You imparted in me and help me make use of them to the service of Your mission without fear, for the Glory of Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
