OUR DUTY

Acts 15:32

Then Judas and Silas, both being prophets, spoke at length to the believers, encouraging and strengthening their faith.

There are two major duties of the believer:

* Taking the gospel of peace to the unsaved; and

* Enocouraging the brethren.

These two assignments are the major assignment for the believer. Though so simple, they do entail a lot. The major reason why this could be tasking is - the world and the flesh. For we are yet humans and we yet deal with humans and powers.

Mark 16:15-16

And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.

Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.

Acts 1:8

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

2 Corinthians 5:19

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

And

John 21:17

A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.

1 Thessalonians 5:11

So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.

Romans 14:18-19

If you serve Christ with this attitude, you will please God, and others will approve of you, too.

So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.

Romans 15:2,5-6

We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord.

May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus.

Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Truly this is the life of the believer, for all the believer does is unto the Lord. Be it secular work or assignment, God must be glorified. 

Listen, great people of old, from Joseph to Daniel to the Ethiopian eunuch to Cornelius, they all had their secular assignment and notwithstanding they glorified God.

What is your excuse?

Colossians 3:17

And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.

Glory to God.

He calls us blessed.

Love
