God's call offers every Christian a unique opportunity to serve in the greatest Kingdom on earth and in heaven, producing eternal results for God's glory and the blessings of His people, including families and friends. Jesus sent out seventy disciples to engage in the work He was sent to do, which later became their daily routine. They returned with the thrilling news that demons obeyed them and they could wield God's power to overcome the enemy. However, Jesus corrected their misunderstanding, teaching them that their pride should not be in their work and accomplishments, but in the fact that their names were written in the book of life.

Often, people settle for titles, achievements, or the satisfaction of helping the less fortunate for personal glorification. But it's not about the title; it's about the responsibility. It's not about the achievement or the satisfaction of giving back; it's about the opportunity to be useful for God and His service. The right attitude and mindset are essential for moving forward with gratitude that God has created a space for you to utilize your talents, gifts, resources, time, energy, and everything you have to make an impact for His glory.

My friend, seize your opportunity, and you will never grow weary of doing good and serving well. Titles come and go. Achievements can appear and disappear. Satisfaction is an emotional response that varies with circumstances. But once an opportunity is missed, it rarely returns. The ministry of Christ is greater than individuals. God will always find people to do His work, and the work will continue. People can always be replaced, and God will always triumph in the end. However, it is up to us to keep our opportunity secure, so we do not get replaced.

Until next time, God be with you!
