The Wheelbarrow
Of Effective Faith
“That the sharing of your faith
May become EFFECTIVE
By the acknowledgment of every good thing
Which is in you
In Christ Jesus.”
Philemon 1:6
A tribal native from the deepest part of the Amazon jungle
was brought into the big city and was amazed at what he saw.
There were giant 'huts' greater than the tallest trees,
light without fire, and air conditioning to squelch oppresive heat.
However when he returned to his village the
thing he was most excited about was seeing a WHEELBARROW.
Here was something he could really use to effectively do
to leverage what he needed to do that he could not do
using just his own strength.
When we share our faith while working in and through Christ
it is like that wheelbarrow!
The word 'effective' in today’s verse
in Greek (ἐνεργὴς) is the root of our English word ENERGY!
Just as the wheelbarrow helped the native to effectively do his work,
Christ in us is the 'Energy Power Source' that always leverages us to
effectively accomplish all that we can do to furthering the Kingdom of God.
Friend, when you use the 'wheelbarrow' of the Power Of God
in all that you do the energy of your work will always be multiplied.
Are you EFFECTIVELY using the ENERGY of God to do His work?
...Or Using Your Own Wheelbarrow?
God Bless Your Day
