We will live an impactful life, DOTK Family!

“Conduct yourself with wisdom in your interactions with outsiders (non-believers), make the most of each opportunity [treating it as something precious]. Let your speech at all times be gracious and pleasant, seasoned with salt, so that you will know how to answer each one [who questions you].” Colossians 4:5-6, Amplified.

In this day and time, people are making eternal decisions. They are deciding whether they will reject Jesus or surrender to Him. Christians are also deciding whether they will continue to walk with the Lord or turn their backs on Him. The enemy desperately wants to cause many to spend eternity in hell with him. So, he will use the fleshly responses of God’s people to nurture this unbelief and rejection of God. While people’s lives are hanging in the balance of whether they will believe or not believe, our responses and our love or lack thereof, could influence their decision.

I challenge us by the Spirit of God to let the Lord continue to produce His fruit in us. I challenge us to walk in love and wisdom when dealing with others. We will not let our actions, behaviors, and responses be all the reason someone needs to turn their backs on the Lord. We will receive the wisdom of the Lord and the help of His Holy Spirit. If someone chooses to turn their backs on God, it won’t be because of us, my sisters. Our hands will be clean before God. We will be blameless and continue to love with His love. We will make the most of every opportunity to give people a reason to believe.

We know the great impact we have on every person we come in contact with. We understand we are influencing eternal decisions by our choices and our responses today.

Prayer: Father God, we thank you for ministering to our hearts and minds your truth. We accept the challenge your Holy Spirit is giving us today. Help us, Father, to be the light you’ve called us to be. Help us be salt. Let our words be seasoned with grace. Help us make right choices today in how we respond. Help us not give place to the enemy, but room for you to move. Help us not give people reason to reject you, but plenty of reason to accept you to the saving of their souls. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
(Read Ephesians 5:15-16; Proverbs 11:30; Matthew 5:14-16)
