For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1.8)We have been focusing, through the studies on 2 Peter 1.1-11, on building Christian effectiveness and productivity into our lives. This has implications for us in our personal relationships with family and friends, at work with clients and colleagues. What more?
A critical part of our witness is as a Christian community together. As we come to the end of holidays let us, as a community of faith together, prayerfully reflect on this. How can we together, through your Home Fellowship Group, take initiatives in faithfully witnessing to our Lord Jesus? In what ways can we touch the lives of folk around us who have not yet seen the light of Christ?
I look forward to hearing what God stirs in our hearts, as new initiatives are formed. And remember, all this can only be birthed out of heartfelt prayer and listening to God. God will open up His path for us. Both individually and collectively.
A prayer
Lord, I acknowledge that you have called me to bear fruit flavoured with the presence and love of Jesus. As I feed on your word and drink deep draughts of your Spirit, dispel the darkness and allow the light of Christ to shine out from us.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
