Colossians | Ch. 4
From Daniel's Desk on 12/3/19
My Title: Are YOU a Fellow Worker for the Kingdom?
My Verse: 17
"And say to Archippus, 'See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord."
My Response:
Lord. Paul prayed for an open door for the Word, to declare the mystery of Christ... to make it clear. - Lord, I am not in prison but I do feel trapped. Please, show me the next step to take to make your story... your whole story clear to my people for our hearts are waning and our hunger for your Word is diminishing. I am sorry for my part in this. I am praying for you to give me the eyes to SEE where you are at work and the ears to hear where you are calling me to work. I am hungry for more of you.
My Notes:
REMEMBER (leaders) to treat your employees justly and fairly... just as YOU have a master in heaven... don't forget that.
Steadfast in prayer. Be watchful in it. Being THANKFUL (have the RIGHT perspective!)
Steadfast: Be constant in it! Constant. Assured. Confident. Expectant!
Watchful: LOOK for what GOD is doing. Join Him there. THIS is the real deal. (Are you ready to work?)
Thanksgiving: Do you have the RIGHT mindset? Let Him lead you. Trust Him. Be grateful and THANKFUL in ALL things. (Read that again because you aren't hearing it.)
Pray ALSO for gospel opportunities. - Are you HUNGRY for the gospel to advance? What else matters?
Are you willing to suffer prison for the gospel to advance?
Make sure that your actions towards those that don't KNOW the Lord is walked out in wisdom but don't let that stop you from providing TRUTH.
YOU HAVE RECEIVED A MINISTRY FROM THE LORD. SEE THAT YOU FULFILL IT.
Grace be with you.
