The Holy Spirit doesn’t want to just be present in the Church; He wants to manifest Himself in the Church — and one way He manifests Himself is through spiritual gifts.⁠

We sing Hallelujah!
The yoke of sin and death broken once and for all.
Forever secured in Him!

If Jesus isn’t at the center, it’s easy to keep looking to people, success, relationships, or things to fill that space but none of them were designed to carry that kind of weight.

People can support you, but they can’t complete you.

Things can excite you, but they can’t fulfill you.

Only God can meet the deepest needs of your soul.

When Jesus becomes your focus, the constant searching starts to fade because you’re finally connected to the source, not the substitutes. 🔥

Let no one make you feel foolish or convince you that you are wasting your life because of your devotion to the Lord.

Choose to remain “foolish” in their eyes as long as it is for the course of the Lord.

What the world may call foolish, Heaven calls faithfulness to an eternal course.

Let it console you greatly that you are living out your life for the Lord.

They might say the giving is too much,but they can't understand the joy of sowing into God’s work.

They might say the daily prayers and constant church meetings are too much, they can not understand the beauty of staying in fellowship with God.

They might question your dedication, your sacrifices and your consistency but remain steadfast.

For a life devoted to the Lord is never wasted and every act done in faith carries eternal value.

Stand firm, remain faithful, dogged and let your devotion speak louder than their doubts.
