Who told you fervency is only for pastors?

Many times, when someone becomes very fervent with God, people immediately begin to call them names.

“Pastor.”

“Pastor Mrs.”

“Evangelist.”

“Apostle.”

And without realizing it, we begin to condition people to think that fervency is attached to a title.

That if you are very serious about God, very intentional about your relationship with Jesus, very committed to prayer and the Word, then you must be an evangelist.

Or maybe God must be calling you into ministry.

But these are not the truths that Scripture gives us.

The truth is that every believer is called to have an intentional relationship with God.

Every believer is called to follow Jesus.

Every believer is called into ministry.

Fervency is not reserved for pastors, evangelists, apostles, or people standing on a pulpit.

You can be fervent for God simply because you love God.

You can seek God deeply without having a ministry.

You can pray, study the Word, grow spiritually, hear God, obey God, and live intentionally with Him without starting a church.

And this is important because sometimes people begin to interpret their own spiritual growth through the expectations of people around them.

“People keep calling me evangelist.”

“People keep telling me I am a pastor.”

“People are blessed by me.”

“So maybe I should start a church.”

No.

Being fervent is not, by itself, a call to start a church.

Being used by God is not, by itself, a call to start a ministry.

You must know what God is actually calling you to.

Don't let people's titles become God's instructions for your life.

Fervency means being deeply committed and intentional in your relationship with God.

And every child of God is called to that.

Not just the people with titles.

Not just the people with platforms.

Every believer.

Imagine the kind of prayer Apostle Paul was praying for the saints in Ephesus.

Look at what he was praying for them.

He was praying that they would have the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God. That the eyes of their understanding would be enlightened, that they would know God, know His power, and know what He had freely given to them.

That prayer carried weight.

Because Apostle Paul understood something: if you know who God is, if you know His power, and if you know everything that God has freely given to you, your response to life will change.

You will stop running after every little thing.

You will stop thinking that the next opportunity, the next money, the next connection, or the next breakthrough is what will finally make your life complete.

You will begin to focus on Him.

Because when you know God, you begin to understand what you already have in Him.

Look at the prayer Apostle Paul prayed.

He didn't make money the center of his prayer.

He didn't make opportunities the center of his prayer.

He didn't make destiny helpers the center of his prayer.

He prayed that they would KNOW GOD.

Because there is something that happens when you know God.

You begin to understand His power.

You begin to understand what He has given you.

You begin to understand who you are in Him.

And your response to life changes.

The prayer Paul prayed was weighty.

When you know God, you know everything that He has freely given to you.

And when you know what you have received from God, you can live the kind of life God has called you to live.

Read Ephesians 1:15–23.

Look at Paul's prayer.

There is weight in that prayer.

Your good works can preach Jesus too.

Jesus went about doing good.

And He said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Good works are not an optional part of the Christian life.

Sometimes, we think the only way to represent Jesus is to preach the gospel with our mouths.

But your life is also a message.

Look at Dorcas.

The Bible tells us that she was full of good works and acts of kindness. When she died, the people she had helped gathered around Peter, showing him the clothes she had made for them.

Her good works had created a community of people who could testify about her.

That is powerful.

Your generosity can speak.

Your kindness can speak.

Your service can speak.

Your compassion can speak.

Your willingness to help people can speak.

Sometimes, your good works will bring people close enough to ask, “Why do you live this way?”

And that becomes an opportunity to point them to Jesus.

So don't only ask, “Who have I preached the gospel to?”

Also ask:

“Who has experienced the love of Christ through me?”

Go about doing good.

Let people see your good works.

And let your life give them a reason to glorify your Father in heaven.

When did you last pray for your nation?

Not complain about it.

Not discuss the government.

Not criticize the leaders.

Pray.

Apostle Paul instructed us to pray for kings and for everyone in authority.

Why?

Because the wellbeing of those in authority affects the wellbeing of the people they lead.

So how often do you pray for your nation?

When did you last pray for your president?

When did you last pray for your government?

When did you last pray for wisdom for the people making decisions that affect millions of lives?

It is easy to complain when we don't like what is happening around us.

But as believers, prayer must be one of our first responses.

Your nation needs your prayers.

Your leaders need your prayers.

Your government needs your prayers.

So before you complain today, pray.

Pray for wisdom.

Pray for righteousness.

Pray for justice.

Pray that those in authority will make decisions that promote the good of the people.

Paul charged the church to pray for those in authority.

So let us take that responsibility seriously.

How long has it been since you prayed for your nation?

Are you a Christian because you were born into a Christian home, or because your life actually looks like Christ?

The first people who were called Christians were not called Christians because they had Christian parents, a Christian name, or because they attended a Christian gathering.

They were called Christians because people could see Christ in them.

There was a trace of Jesus in the way they lived.

So when we call ourselves Christians today, what are we actually saying?

Is it simply our religion?

Our family background?

Our church attendance?

Our Christian name?

Or can someone look at our lives and genuinely see the character of Christ?

Can they see His love?

His patience?

His humility?

His holiness?

His compassion?

His obedience to God?

Being a Christian is more than carrying the name of Christ.

It is becoming like Christ.

So ask yourself honestly:

If nobody knew my background, my church, or my Christian name, would my life still point people to Jesus?

Because the question is not only, “Do you call yourself a Christian?”

The question is, “Can people see Christ in you?”

Don't Panic When You Don't Know How to Do What God Told You.

Sometimes God will give you an instruction and you will immediately think, “Lord, how am I going to do this?”

That was Samuel.

God told him to go and anoint a new king.

But Samuel was afraid.

He said, “How can I go? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.”

God didn't cancel the assignment.

He gave Samuel wisdom for how to carry it out.

God told him to take a heifer with him and say that he had come to sacrifice to the Lord.

Samuel obeyed, and he went.

The remarkable thing is that Samuel and God knew the full purpose of the journey.

Everyone else didn't necessarily need to know everything Samuel knew.

And sometimes, that's how God works.

There are places God will send you where you may not be able to explain the full reason for your presence.

People may assume one thing about why you are there.

But you know what God told you.

You know the assignment.

You know what you are there to do.

And that's okay.

If God has sent you somewhere and you don't understand how to execute the instruction, don't immediately assume you cannot do it.

Ask God for wisdom.

“Lord, give me wisdom for this assignment.”

God is not only interested in giving you instructions.

He can also give you the wisdom to carry them out.

When God sends you, trust Him for the strategy.
