Be Not Ashamed

As a Christian, you must decide what you Value the most — the Validation of Man or the Approval of God? 

Be not ashamed to represent Christ in every area of your life, on your job, in business, or in the boardroom — choose to pattern your life after God’s Way of doing things.

It’s your choice to either live for Christ and thrive or you can choose to wither in the wilderness by surrendering to the world’s way of doing things.

It’s your choice — you choose. 

Your heart is longing for something that the world cannot satisfy.

And Your spirit is yearning for something that the world cannot fulfill.

Temporary things cannot satisfy a spiritual void.

Choose to seek God. Surrender to Him. Submit to His Way of doing things. 

It is Christ who leads and guides our path.

And It is Christ who promotes us.

It is Christ who accelerates us. And It is Christ who enlarges us.

When we surrender to Christ — He will guide our footsteps and light our path. 

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this life-transforming leadership devotional.

Choose to glorify God, in every area of your life. Let Christ be reflected in your everyday conduct.

Also, Let Christ be reflected in your everyday language. And Let Christ be reflected in everything you say and do.

Do you desire the validation of man or the approval of God? Let God lead your heart as you read this timely message.

Be Not Ashamed.

“Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.” 1 Peter 4:16 KJV

Choose to glorify God, in every area of your life.

Let Christ be revealed through your life.

And Let Christ be reflected in your everyday conduct.

Also, Let Christ be reflected in your language.

And Let Christ be reflected in everything you say and do.

When you choose to surrender to God, though trials and difficulties may arise, God is faithful to deliver you from them all.

Choose to trust God — He’s got you.

God is faithful to lead you and guide you in the right direction — His direction.

Surrender to Him and choose to do things His Way. 

When you do things His Way, it may not always be the popular thing to do.

Also, When you do things God’s Way, you may not always be a part of the “in” crowd.

And When you choose to do things His Way,  you may not have the “buy-in” of others around you.

As a Christian, you must decide what you value the most — the validation of man or the approval of God? 

1 Peter 4:16 AMPC declares,

“But if [one is ill-treated and suffers] as a Christian [which he is contemptuously called], let him not be ashamed,

but give glory to God that he is [deemed worthy to suffer] in this name.”

Be not ashamed to represent Christ in every area of your life, on your job, in business, or in the boardroom — choose to pattern your life after God’s Way of doing things.

And Choose to pattern yourself after Christ — you belong to Him. 

1 Peter 4:16 KJV

[16] Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

He Who Wins Souls Is Wise.

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30 KJV

He who wins souls is wise.

According to Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word for “Wise” is ‘chakam’ (H2450) which means,

“skillful (in technical work), wise (in administration), shrewd, crafty, cunning, wily, subtle, learned, prudent, wise (ethically and religiously).” 

Proverbs 11:30 KJV

[30] The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that winneth souls is wise.

https://bible.com/bible/1/pro.11.30.KJV

He who wins men is skillful, thoughtful, cunning and wise in their approach.

Let God lead you. And Let God direct you.

Also, Let God give you wisdom on how to lead others to Him. Let God lead your approach.

And Let God soften your heart and lead your lips as you reach others for Him. 

Let God fill your heart with His words and His grace as you minister to and lead others to Christ.

Yes! Let God give you His heart as you reach others for Him.

Choose to reflect Christ in your everyday life.

When you win souls for Him — He will show you how to lead and handle their heart.

Please, Let God lead your actions!

Actually, one of the most effective ways to minister to others is through your everyday life.

Let your life reflect the character and love of Christ.

And Let your life reflect the love of God for others.

Moreover, Let your life reveal God’s compassion for others through your actions.

Also, Let your life become a living testament of God’s grace, love and mercy. 

Proverbs 11:30 AMPC declares,

“The fruit of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise captures human lives [for God, as a fisher of men–he gathers and receives them for eternity].” 

As a fisher of men, God will lead you and teach you how to fish men for Him.

God will tell you what to say.

Christ will even show you what to do.

Surrender to Christ and ask Him for the wisdom to win others for Him. 

James 1:5 AMPC declares,

“If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.” 

Be not ashamed of the Gospel.

Let God lead you.

And Let every aspect of your life reflect Christ.

“The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends.” Proverbs 11:30 NLT.

Be not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
