Opportunities and Motives
I have sincerely prayed over the past couple of weeks that God would give me opportunities to reach people for Christ. God is always giving us opportunities, the question is are we looking for them. God is answering my prayers. Those answers don’t always come the way we expect and they don’t always end with a decision of salvation; however, God uses every opportunity to meet a need that he has determined to be important. As a pastor of a new church plant, it can be difficult to not look for the personal benefit to our church that each opportunity may present. God did not call us to go and be his witness everywhere to convince people to join our congregation. Our calling is to simply reach people for Christ. It does not matter if they choose to go to church somewhere else. I say this because I sometimes find myself looking at how RADLIFE.TV can benefit from an opportunity that’s placed in front of me. At times my motives are out of place. My prayer is that God would continue to place opportunities in front of me and that I would serve God through those opportunities without attaching insincere motives. I personally need to be more focused on God rather than being focused on growing RADLIFE.TV. If I place my focus completely on God he will take care of the growing. Where do you stand? Are you looking for your opportunities? Do you have honorable motives?
