“The things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others” 2 Tim 2:2
Good Christians live the Christian life. They love God, walk with integrity, read the Word and spend time in prayer. They tithe, volunteer to serve, go on mission trips and do what God calls them to do. GREAT Christians on the other hand, do all that and then PASS IT ON.
What did Paul tell Timothy? Equip Others.
You can be a good Christian by obeying God and loving people but if you haven’t poured your life into others your life ends with a period. Great Christians end their life with a comma. Our ultimate service to others is to help them become all God intends for them to be. Great Christians empower other people.
A lot of Christians are very active doing a lot of things and attending a lot of meetings. Some are actually quite productive bearing fruit. But few Christians are reproducing their life – leaving a legacy by developing a spiritual lineage.
Who can you pour yourself into so that your ceiling becomes their floor? Your end becomes their beginning? Ask God to help you discover those you can invest your life in. I encourage to first look under your own roof (family) and then for F.A.T people. Not overweight. Faithful, Available and Teachable people. Help many but train a few.
Remember, good Christians serve the Lord well. Great Christians serve Him well and empower others to do the same.
Blessings,
Darren
