Luke 10:38-42
“Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.’”
Beloved,
Let’s talk about how we can get more out of life. One of the first ways is to settle down on time. It is so easy to get busy to the point that we miss what will truly push us forward in life. Ask Mary and Martha. Martha was busy doing everything in the house; perhaps to prove that she was an excellent hostess and of course, there is nothing wrong with that But what if she was meant for more? Meanwhile Mary chose to settle down at the feet of Jesus and gather everything He was ready to give them. There are a few ways in which you must be wise enough to settle down on time:
1. Settle yourself in the Word of God. Read your Bible, yes. But if you will get more in life you must settle it in your mind and heart that the Bible is the infallible word of God and it is the truth and it exists to help you know more about God, the life He has designed for you, and how you must live it.
2. Settle yourself in the will of God. Where does God want you to live? Who does God want you to marry? Settle it that if you have given your life to Christ, you have done just that. You must make decisions according to His Will for your life, not your own.
3. Settle into the church home God has for you under the shepherd He has given you. Why? Because it is there you can take up assignment and receive the instructions and prophecies that equip you for more. In our church, we have a goal that everyone God sends will first come to church, then they will hear the word of God. After that, they settle and once they settle, they can reproduce. It is in the place of settling that you can prepare to receive and produce more.
I commend you to God and the word of His grace.
I call you NATIONS. I call you blessed.
