Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. (Colossians 4:5-6). We should be wise in our contacts with non-Christians, outsiders, etc, making the most of our opportunities to tell them the Good News of salvation. When we tell others about Christ, it is important always to be gracious in what we say. No matter how much sense the message makes, we lose our effectiveness if we are not courteous. Just as we like to be respected, we must respect others if we want them to listen to what we have to say. Seasoned with salt means that what we say should be tasty & should encourage further dialogue. Let us speak words which are full of faith & grace, words which heal, edify, build, encourage, strengthen, comfort, etc. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, help us to deal with wisdom, mercy & grace as we deal with non-Christians. Help us to speak the Gospel & not more about our denominational churches & what happens there. Your Word is truth. It is God speaking to us. Help us to speak it, abide in it, meditate on it & obey its principles. Thank you Father for hearing & answering my prayer. God bless you all.
Business God's Way: During this annual shutdown for most businesses, i urge you to rest, have quality time with the family & connect with God. Go for a holiday with the family if you can afford. After that, spend some quality time with God in a quiet place for an hour or so & seek His guidance. Carry your note pad & write the points down. Read your Bible, do meditation & pray. Present your plans to the Lord for the coming year & let Him approve them in His own time & in His own way. Be calm, quiet & composed, in order to hear that small still voice, gentle whisper from God. Result: The voice of God will give you guidance & direction for the coming year 2023. If things have not been okay with you in business, the Lord will enable you to have peace & joy in the midst of such storms. He will give you a way out. Do not panic no matter what comes your way. Remain focused on the perfomance & growth of your business. Do not murmur or complain...
