“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” II Timothy 2:15 NKJV
1/ Is the Lord well pleased? If you want to impact your generation, you need to have a passion to please the Lord. This is crucial to advancement and success.
“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
Well done means something that is done with excellence. All we do should be done with excellence. Excellence means superior, of the highest quality. Someone who compromises excellence never has respect.
2/ Is the Work well done? Is there a passion to do the work with excellence? Workman are not to be ashamed. Always be worth more than your getting. Are you doing something with your whole heart. Doing something half-hearted is settling for mediocrity. Mediocrity never leads to work being well done.
“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,” Colossians 3:23
3/ Is the Word well used? Is there a passion for the truth? Know. Experience. Share. We are to serve the church; the people not the building.
“Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Mark 10:43-45
“But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.” 1 Corinthians 12:18
4/ Are the People well served? Do you have a passion to serve? One thing David had was a heart and a love for the the House of God.
“One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple.”
Action, not words are the keys to impacting your generation. What you do, do unto the Lord and please Him. Do the work with excellence. Have a passion for the truth; the Word of God. Lastly, have a love for the people and serve them. That will truly impact a generation!
