Do you ever sit down and just need to hear something good and something that encourages you? Been there and done that. We all have.
Hearing from God this morning I saw a living portrait of the Apostle Paul’s passion to serve God. Obligation, Opportunity and Obsession describes what he did and how he lived toward the lost world, people who need Jesus.
Obligation – Paul saw that he owed a debt to people who need Jesus.
“For I have a great sense of obligation to people in both the civilized world and the rest of the world, to the educated and uneducated alike.” Romans 1:14 (NLT)
Opportunity – Paul was ready to share what he had received from God and knew would impact others.
One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity… So I am eager to come to you in Rome, too, to preach the Good News.” Romans 1:10,15 (NLT)
Obsession – Paul’s heart was that nothing could stop him for giving Jesus to those who desperately need Him.
“For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes…” Romans 1:16 (NLT)
My prayer is that each of us will come forward as Paul did. I pray we will MOVE FORWARD with a true sense of obligation to the lost, seizing opportunity to share and obsession for the Word of God!
