Hi All

Our God can and will use anyone who is open to serving Him and what especially pleases Him is when we share His word and what He has done for us.When it comes to being a witness for God we are all different, some of us are bolder than others,some of us more direct and all of us will have different methods of communicating but as Paul tell us in Philippians 1:18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice". This verse highlights the apostle Paul's unwavering joy and his focus on the proclamation of Christ, regardless of the motives of those spreading the message. No matter how we share the word of God the most important thing is that we are willing to “Branch Out” for the glory of God.

Be Blessed and Encouraged

 BRANCH OUT

His lord said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.”

( Matthew 25:23 )

One of the best ways to grow our faith is to be a willing servant of The Lord even if we think we don't do very much or what we do is only a"little thing” but that is not important to God as He sees the heart. The Christian author and Pastor Leslie Flynn used the following story in one of his books to explain that God appreciates and rewards all of His servants regardless of how they serve. An angel commissioned the building of a new church and announced a prize for the person who made the most significant contribution to the finished product. Everyone worked hard, wanting to win,the architect, the contractor, the craftsmen, the artists, the clergy, and the carpenters. The winner turns out to be an elderly peasant woman who every day carried hay to the ox that pulled the stones for the stonecutters. Our faith grows as we serve, and we serve best when we’re faithful in little things. If we are willing to “branch out” in a new area of Christian service, however small it may seem to us and if we are faithful in that service then one day we will hear The Lord say to us “Well done!” God expects us to take advantage of every opportunity to be a doer of good. . . . Keep on keeping on. Whoever does God’s work will get God’s pay. ! If we want to take root and grow in our faith,we need to branch out in service. Begin by serving God in little things. It’s wonderful to accomplish great things for Christ, but sometimes our greatest works are in the little things.
