Your Greatest Asset
Psalms 118:22-23 "The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. 23 This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see."
God specializes in taking what this world rejects and creating something great out of what the world says has no value. He takes the foolish things to confound the wise and the weak to conquer the mighty, so that He alone will get the glory and the world will know that He Is God! God doesn't save by human strength or wisdom, he saves by his mighty power.
This is why the greatest ability is availability; when we make ourselves available to God, we position ourselves to experience the impossible and to become a vessel of honor that bring Him Glory. So instead of grieving over what you can not do, submit your life to the one that can do all things. Let him display his strength through your weakness and demonstrate his power through your life. You will be amazed at what God can do with your availability, it is your greatest asset. Below I want to share with you seven areas of availability that position you to experience the impossible and see God's Glory revealed through your life.
Be available for intimacy. Make time everyday to sit at his feet; prayer, worship and the word.
Be available to share. When the opportunity arises to tell someone about Jesus, stop what you are doing and share with them the message of Jesus Christ.
Be available to pray. When someone shares a prayer need stop what you are doing and say a 30 second prayer, agreeing with them and the word of God.
Be available to minister. When God sends someone into your life that needs ministry; encouragement, counsel or deliverance. Schedule time with them and allow the Lord to minister through you.
Be available to give. Budget your finances and live below your income, so that when God quickens your heart to meet a financial need you have money available.
Be available to serve in everyday life. When you encounter a need that you can meet, then lend a hand and help someone in need.
Be available to serve in the local church. Get involved: give your time, talents and resources to the Kingdom of God through the joint efforts of the local church. Find the greatest area on need and plug in to meet that need.
