Over the years, I have learnt of the posture we ought to have when we serve God. Some Christians may think that to serve God, we must be perfect individuals. On the contrary, if we think this way, we could lose the joy of serving or simply forget that we are serving God.
When we serve God, we are on a journey of obedience and transformation. It calls for us to sacrifice the time, energy, and resources that God has graciously given us, so that we may in turn be a blessing to others. Each decision we make to surrender and submit to Him enables our faith to grow stronger.
My mother’s salvation was one particular challenge that God had used to strengthen my faith.
My faith grew stronger in getting my mother to accept Christ and be baptised. In this journey, I prayed a lot. This went on for years and when I grew tired and felt like giving up, God moved in quickly to show me that salvation belongs to the Lord.
“I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.” (1 Cor 3: 6-7)
