“Keep going. Never give up because you see no results. If you are following God’s call on your life then you can rest assured the results are mounting up.”

2 Timothy 2:15
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Thomas Edison, who invented the electric light bulb spent more than $100,000 to attain 6000 different specimens of fibre for his experiments. He failed a miserable 5997 times. Only three of the elements he tested proved suitable. But Edison refused to quit because he didn’t see the results of his effort. He persisted in his task because he knew the end result would qualify his efforts.

I was pondering my work the other day. In my early days in Christian radio broadcasting, I received many wonderful responses from listeners, which greatly encouraged me. Today I possibly reach far more people through my radio programming than ever before but receive very little response. Have I failed? I reason that, due to the excessive media output we’re all subject to in the information age, people, these days, do not generally respond to radio as much as they did 20 years ago. Nevertheless, I often feel like I’ve failed in my God-given task.

Then the Lord reminded me that with every word I speak under his anointing, I lay up for myself heavenly treasures. Jesus said, “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” Though I don’t see the results of my labour, the Lord is watching over his word that I speak and he will bring it to fruition in the lives of the hearers. Though I feel like I’ve failed because I don’t see the results of my work, I know that with every word I speak the end result will qualify my efforts.

Keep going. Never give up because you see no results. If you are following God’s call on your life then you can rest assured the results are mounting up. The Lord is watching over his call on your life. By his grace, the Lord is doing the work through you. Grace is God’s doing. In the end, when you are called up yonder, you will be astounded at the treasures you have laid up for yourself in heaven.

God-tracking is laying up treasures in heaven.

IT’S ALL IN THE BIBLE. READ ALL ABOUT IT. (NKJV)
Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you!
Matthew 6:19-21 (ESV)
Isaiah 55:8-11
1 Corinthians 15:10

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

“I know that by fulfilling the task have given me, I am laying up treasures in heaven.”

“Dear God, forgive me for complaining about results. I realise now that the only results I need to be concerned about are following and doing your will. I acknowledge you in my work. I labour not by my efforts but by your grace, and your grace will produce the results of my labour. Forgive me for looking for results in the here and now. I know that by fulfilling the task you’ve me, I am laying up treasures in heaven. The end result will qualify my efforts. Hallelujah! Amen.”

“He has saved you and called you to a holy calling, not because of your works but because of his own purpose and grace. Grace is God’s doing.”

2 Timothy 1:9
God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began

David Livingstone was a famous missionary who helped open up Africa to the gospel of Jesus. He was a trained and talented doctor with great prospects of a very successful career, before entering the mission field. His brother was also a doctor. When David informed his brother that he was giving up medicine to follow God’s holy calling into missions, his brother ridiculed him saying, “I don’t want that kind of life. I want to make a name for myself.” Today David Livingstone’s brother is mentioned in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. He has one line stating that he is the brother of David Livingstone while David has 16 paragraphs describing his life and work.

As Christian believers, you and I are saved by God’s grace, through faith. Jesus, God’s eternal and holy Son, came from the Father to earth to bear the consequences of our sins upon the cross. When he rose from the dead, he opened the way for you and me to have our sins removed and to boldly approach God’s throne, in faith. Therefore, we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.

Like David Livingstone, your Lord has many, many good things lined up for you. He has saved you and called you to a holy calling, not because of your good works but because of his own purpose and grace. Grace is God’s doing. God did it when he saved you through the blood of Jesus and God will do it through you as he has called you to serve him, by his grace.

So, hold onto the promise of God’s purpose to use you wherever you are. Remember, he knows the plans he has for you, plans for wellbeing and success, with a hopeful future. And when the devil comes against you to thwart God’s plans for your life, stand strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

I offer my life to you today, to serve you as you call me to serve

“O Lord, I praise and thank you for your grace. Your grace has saved me and your grace equips me to serve you. I offer my life to you today, to serve you as you call me to serve. Help me not to depend on my own skills or my own efforts to achieve the great things you have in store for me. Help me, O Lord, to simply follow your supreme directions for my life. And use me, Lord. I submit myself to your hand. Use me in my family, use me in my church and use me for your glory in my workplace. Guide me according to the plans you know you have for me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
