- If God has called someone to a task, He will qualify them, He will enable them, He will equip them do what they cannot do in their own strength (John 15:5), but only through Christ Who will strengthen them (Phil 4:13).

Jan 15, 2019 · When Paul explained to the Colossian Christians how he managed to persevere in his ministry, this is how he said it: “For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me” (Col. 1:29). God infuses his very own supernatural energy into his servants.

I can’t remember who said it, but someone once said, “God doesn’t call the qualified, but qualifies the called.” Think about this. Do you ever remember anyone in the Bible ever coming up to God or Jesus Christ and telling them, “Okay God, here I am. Send me. I’m qualified.”In the eyes of God, this would actually disqualify them because none of us q...
Any time spent reading the Bible, you’ll very quickly come to see that God has a history of calling the lowly, the meek, and the humble; those who, in the world’s eyes, don’t amount to much, but God called people like shepherds who were among the most despised people in the ancient world. God called the least of the families and tribes, like Gideon...
Whoever does God’s bidding in ministry (i.e., Matt 25:25-36), God equips. He would never call someone to a task and not equip them or give them gifts of the Holy Spirit to do what He’s called them to do. Some people are better teachers, others are better at visiting the sick and those in prison, and others have gifts in other areas. Many times a pe...
What we do on our own does not impress God. It might impress the world, but not God. If a person feels they are already gifted without the assistance of God or the Spirit’s gift, they are running purely on the flesh and it will not bear fruit. In other words, God’s Spirit will prompt us to do random acts of kindness that we normally wouldn’t do on ...
Let me ask you a question? Who has more resources? Is it Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, or God? Obviously, no one in the universe has more at His disposal than God Almighty. He not only owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), He owns the hills. God doesn’t have to worry if He’ll have enough to provide for you or the ministry you’re doing. A ...
Don’t you grow weary sometimes? I mean, when things go wrong, things break down, relationships are wrecked, there’s trouble at work or with finances, it’s easy to grow discouraged; especially when you’re tired, hungry, and frustrated. But here’s something to think about; when we are weak, God can show Himself strong. The world can’t understand how ...
We often worry about tomorrow or about things that will never happen, so we’re worry warts in a sense. It’s too bad we forget that God already knows the future. Only God can look around the blind corners of time. Only God knows what’s ahead of us, even when we can’t see 10 feet in front of us. He alone knows what’s in front of us for the day ahead,...
Everything we have is God’s, so we must remember that we’re only stewards with what God’s given us. Someday we will have to give an account about how we used these God-given resources. If you think about it, when we suffer some loss, it’s not our loss, but God’s loss. It’s as if we can say, “Okay God, the car you own that you let me use is broken d...
People who wonder if God has called them to a task should just relax and let God work out all the details. I believe that 90% of serving is just showing up, so do what you can and then let God do what only He can. He will lead you to the work He calls you to and also equip and supply that call. If God has called someone to a task, He will qualify t...
Look at 2 Timothy 3:16-17: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Many pastors recognize the need to empower every believer in the ministry of daily life, but they experience multiple roadblocks when attempting to address this need. Dwight Dubois’ report Equipping Pastors Conversations explores the myriad difficulties that pastors face.
Nov 6, 2020 · Allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life, allow him to govern your life, and allow him to empower you. God has put in us a well of “living water,” but it is our choice whether or not we drink from it. May our prayer be, “God empty me of myself and show yourself more in my life. Strengthen me with your power.”.

The challenge facing the church today is to equip, encourage and enable workplace Christians to live out that calling effectively. Workplace Christians want to change their world and to be active in God’s plan to do so. They want their pastors to be an integral part of what God wants to do in their workplaces.
