Power to Last-Part 3

Here are my top ten list to have power to last over the long haul in children’s ministry.
10. Never loose sight of who called you.

Your pastor might have asked you but it was
Jesus who called you! He is with you! Matthew 28:20 tell us, “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." God equips those He calls. You already have the power. (The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in you!) Over the years I have had to constantly remind myself who called me, who I’m doing what I do for and that He believes I can do what He’s asked me to do. If God is for you, who can be against you? It was not my idea to minister to kids I was seeking the Lord asking Him what He wanted me to do, it was His idea for me to minister to kids. I have seen over and over again that God’s plan for my life is better than any plan I could come up with on my own.

Hi Brother Jim,
Thank you for that reminder. As it states in Romans 11:29 'for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable' As Joe McGee said you can use your gift for the Kingdom, for evil or do nothing with it. I like the first choice...
