STEP UP (PART 1)

1Corinth 15:41-There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

There is a link between our spiritual growth and all other facets of our lives. This is because whatever we see in the physical has already been settled in the spiritual.

From the passage, we see that there are different levels of growth. As a Christian you already belong to the first level of growth, which is that of a star (Mathew 5:14). But there are stars and there are stars.

Among the multitude of stars that followed Jesus, He had the 70. These were the ones he sent out to preach the gospel. The brightest of stars are the soul winners (Dan 12:3). They are people who know the heart beat of Jesus and are in pursuit of it.

This means that if you are not yet a soul winner, you are not where you ought to be. It is time to step up and stand out for God. It's not until you stand on a pulpit, you can use the social media, share tracts, etc.

Action point

I refuse to be a mediocre Christian in Jesus name.
