How comforting it is to be able to work alongside other people who are totally sold out to the ministry of God which is placed within their hands. It is so freeing to be able to trust others with the tasks of ministry because they recognize it as their gifting to God, and do it with all of their hearts. And the Kingdom of God moves forward smoothly and well.

The Scriptures speak of the people of God has having been redeemed by God for his purposes in life, among which is the handing-on of the faith to others. It is not difficult to be committed when one is surrounded by faithful and committed Spirit-filled believers. It blesses me when I am able to walk with others who have found their walk in Christ.

The Apostle Paul encourages his son in Christ to stand firm in matters of faith, and to hand them on to others, as we read in 2 Timothy 2.1-2: ‘You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.’ To speak and teach other faithful so they will speak and teach—GET IT!?

Let us never fail to be reliable in our hearing and doing the teaching of God, and to share that truth with other faithful people. Those people will catch that truth and grow into it and talk about it and demonstrate it to others who will do the same. God is eternally reliable to fulfill his promises to us—LET US BE RELIABLE FOLLOWERS!
