What do you have to offer to people?
Blessings dear brothers, thank God for the gift of writing and thanks for steemchurch, the first Church of Blockchain!
They say that a needy man was placed at the door of a church for the purpose of being helped!
Peter, looking at him, next to Juan, said: Look at us. He watched them intently, hoping to receive something. Peter, however, said: I have neither silver nor gold, but what I have, that I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, go!
(Acts 3.4-6)
In the previous context, Peter and John were going to pray, without the intention of healing someone. This brings me to an understanding that we must be prepared for something suddenly.
The first thing that caught my attention in that text was that sentence:
"Waiting to receive something"
People are always expecting to receive something from us, even if it is something natural, but at that moment, Pedro and Juan did not have something natural. You may be in the same way, but the question that has bothered me these days is:
"What do we have to offer people?"
Daily, the lame was placed at the door, many entered to pray, but had nothing to offer, so what is the difference between Peter and John of the other people who frequented the temple?
The difference was that they had something to offer and the other people were just religious who came and went but had nothing to offer.
People have hope in receiving something from us. The man expected to receive alms, but we can always surprise people with something SUPERNATURAL.
The problem of many Christians is wanting to be a "Training Lion" ...
In football, the training lion is the one who in the training center of his team does everything. It is always the best, makes a goal, dribbles, is considered the "craque"; but when it comes to training, at the time of making use of the game, the boy hangs up, you can not do anything is called "straw man player".
What I want to bring with this illustration is that there are many "church lion" believers, he does it all in the church - and that is lawful - but you are being trained in the church to win lives out there to offer something that can change the life of people
We can not be believers without fruits. We can not limp when we leave the four walls, people are waiting to receive something from us. Pedro offered what he had, once again I ask him:
#"What I have to offer and you?"
In addition to offering, we have to help people. Pedro offered what he had, but he could have offered and left, but besides people need what we have, they need help to get up.
"And taking him by the right hand, he picked him up, immediately, his feet and ankles were signed"
(Acts 3.7)
Whoever walks with Jesus always has something to offer, what do we have to offer?
Thank you for using our sacred tag Kristal!
Inspirational video based on the Bible! The truth is that we always have something to offer, regardless of the situation that a person lives, giving a glass of water can save a life
