Focus on one...

A few months ago, someone shared a variation of the 'Each one, teach one' African-American quote - it struck me so I decided to tweak it a bit and share it and the related verses with you:

 

If each one reach (and teach) one and every one win one,

how many one ones will be won for Christ?

 

Mother Teresa put it this way:

 

Never worry about numbers.

Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.

 

Last year, God very gently got me over the "hump of numbers."

In fact, I remember Bishop TD Jakes talking about how frustrating it can be when he prepares and pours of himself into people and they still don't "get it." As some of us know from our own personal experience, it is frustrating and sometimes could have you double-guessing yourself and what you do - whether it's even worth it. 

 

I can tell you is it's worth it - yes it is!

 

Jesus gave us 2 examples of going after "The One."*

 

The bottom line is: All you, I, we, need to do is reach out to at least one person and the world will be a better place for everyone.

Paul also reminds us in 2 Timothy 2:2 -

And the [instructions] which you have heard from me along with many witnesses, transmit and entrust [as a deposit] to reliable and faithful men who will be competent and qualified to teach others also. (Amplified)

The truth is: Our faithfulness will determine our fruitfulness. Stay faithful to the path God has outlined for you - fruitfulness will follow...every tree with many fruits started from one seed.

Focus on the Ministry (to One) & you will not be in the Misery to many - who don't show up.
May God prosper our ministries - and put out our miseries - this year. AMEN!

Happy Labour Day to many of us and may our labour in His Kingdom not be in vain.
