• Are you a Missionary or a Mission Field?

5
Faithful
Are we faithful in our devotional life? How can
we maintain a special time of the day with the
Lord? Dont let anything get between you and
your relationship with God.
Mark 135 Very early in the morning, while it was
still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went
off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
Ps. 636 I lie awake thinking of you, meditating
on you through the night.
Col 316 Let the words of Christ, in all their
richness, live in your hearts and make you wise.
Use his words to teach and counsel each other.
Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God
with thankful hearts.
6
Faithful
Are we faithfully praying for others? We often
pray only when we have a dire need, more than we
will ever know happens when we pray in Faith.

James 516 Confess your sins to each other and
pray for each other so that you may be healed.
The earnest prayer of a righteous person has
great power and wonderful results.
7
Faithful
Are we faithful in our Christian Witness
NOW? Are we ever going to find the perfect
opportunity? Are we ever going to feel we are
well trained and capable in our method of
witnessing and reaching out

Mark 1615 And then he told them, "Go into all
the world and preach the Good News to everyone,
everywhere.
8
Faithful
Are we faithful in the small jobs that God asks
of us? When we are faithful in the little things
we do, often God will give us bigger things.
Col 323 NIV Whatever you do, work at it with
all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for
men.

Luke 1610 NIV "Whoever can be trusted with very
little can also be trusted with much, and whoever
is dishonest with very little will also be
dishonest with much.
9
Faithful
Have you ever really had to step out of your boat
and walk on water? In other words have you ever
really had to trust God to help you with the
impossible?
Heb 1038 NIV But my righteous one will live by
faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be
pleased with him. Heb 116 NIV Without faith it
is impossible to please God. (Heb 1113 NIV)
All these people were still living by faith when
they died


10
Available
Would we be available if God was wanting us to do
something for Him? Or are we busy doing our own
thing? Advice When you see where God is working
dont be afraid to get involved.
Are we available without conditions? Whatever he
wants us to do or only what we want to do. Not
when he wants us to but when we are free to do it.


11
Teachable
Do we humbly admit that we dont have all the
answers and are willing to learn? Or do we need
to do things our way?
Deu 324 NIV He is the Rock, his works are
perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful
God who does no wrong, upright and just is
he. (Prov 35 NIV) Trust in the LORD with all
your heart and lean not on your own
understanding in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.

12
Teachable
Are we flexible and happy to try new things? Or
are we stuck in a rut Or interested in only how
we feel or look.
(2 Ki 59 NIV) So Naaman went with his horses
and chariots and stopped at the door of Elisha's
house. Elisha sent a messenger to say to him,
"Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and
your flesh will be restored and you will be
cleansed." But Naaman went away angry and said,
"I thought that he would surely come out to me
and stand and call on the name of the LORD his
God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of
my leprosy.

Teachable
Are we flexible and happy to try new things? Or
are we stuck in a rut Or interested in only how
we feel or look.
Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of
Damascus, better than any of the waters of
Israel? Couldn't I wash in them and be cleansed?"
So he turned and went off in a rage. Naaman's
servants went to him and said, "My father, if the
prophet had told you to do some great thing,
would you not have done it? How much more, then,
when he tells you, 'Wash and be cleansed'!"

• How FAT are YOU? Dare you step on the scale! Ask
  yourself!
• If you are not growing Spiritually, Why?
• then take the initiative.
• If you are not available for God to use, Why?
• step out in faith and see if he will use you
• Finally check and make sure your not thinking you
  have arrived in your Spiritual life
