Fellowship Project: Blog Posting
After you watch the video and read the study notes below, answer these questions here:
Discuss:
1. Discuss how the destiny that God has for you plays a big part in what He’s trying to accomplish through you. If you don’t participate in the destiny God has for you it affects His plan, and someone else has to do it and fulfill it.
2. Talk about what it means to discover and endeavor to find what your giftings are, and how it’s predetermined by God.
3. Discuss how we’re a part of the generation that will finish up here on earth and how everything we do counts.
4. Pray with one another and for anyone with specific needs or prayer requests.
...But the Lord’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.
Psalm 33:11 NLT
DISCUSSION:
We have rewards that are given to us from Jesus in Heaven. Everything you do for God and Jesus counts. Everything is recorded, and nothing goes unnoticed. Everything you’ve done for the Lord that people don’t know about is recorded. Each time you’ve helped others or done things for others, you’re helping God. When you pray for people and do the right thing even though it hurts and costs you, it’s all recorded. Jesus doesn’t forget these things. Everything you do counts.
I want to encourage you that angels record and watch over all these things. They’re reporting to Heaven all that we do.
Colossians 3:17 TPT:
Let every activity of your lives and every word that comes from your lips be drenched with the beauty of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. And bring your constant praise to God the Father because of what Christ has done for you!
• Paul has given the Colossians instructions and encourages them to make sure that whatever they do or say that comes from their lips, they are drenched with the beauty of Jesus. They’re anointed with the anointing of Jesus Christ.
• All your words, and all your deeds, bring constant praise to God.
• The word constant means all the time.
I’m always praying in the Spirit. I’m always worshiping and thanking God and telling Jesus I love him. I’m telling Him that all the time. I’m thankful for what God has done for me, and I’m constantly doing that; because of it, I see new things happen every day because He wants to continually show Himself. You should be encouraged by these words; He has done many great things for you. A lot of times, it’s done in secret, and you don’t know what He’s done. Many times He’s protected you, and you don’t even know about it. Many things have happened and are happening right now that is still a secret. God is working in your life, and I want to encourage you, through your lips and your actions, continually represent Jesus Christ as a faithful God and be a good servant of Him. You’re going to see God manifest in your life.
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE
Matthew 5:16 TPT:
Don’t hide your light. Let it shine brightly before others so that the commendable things you do will shine as light upon them, and then they will give praise to your Father in heaven.
• Here’s another verse encouraging you to let your light shine. Don’t hide it.
• The things God is prompting you to do, such as buying somebody some food or doing something special for someone, just let your light shine.
• Whatever you can do, doesn’t have to cost you money.
• You can do something, and it doesn’t cost you anything.
• Just be nice to somebody.
• Compliment them and tell them that God loves them and let people know that you represent God and that He has come into your life, and that is why you have joy.
• That’s what Jesus is saying in this verse. Don’t hide it.
• Let everybody know, and let God be glorified through it.
OUR DESTINY FULFILLED
Ephesians 2:10 TPT:
We have become his poetry and a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned and advanced our destiny and the good works that we would do to fulfill it.
• God had this amazing plan, and then he wrote it.
• Individually all of us are part of that plan.
• Each generation had assignments to do, and everybody built upon them. • It’s kind of like a handoff.
• Every generation takes from how far that generation before them came, and then they hand off a baton, and we go further.
