Acts 20:24 24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life myself, may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. Is This True Of Me? It is Easier to serve or work for God without a vision and without a call, Because then you are not bothered by what He requires. Common sense, covered with a layer of Christian emotion, Becomes your guide. You May be more prosperous and successful from the worlds perspective, and will have more leisure time, if you never acknowledge the call of God. But Once You receive a commission from Jesus Christ, the memory of what God asks of you will always be there to prod you on to do His will. You will no longer be able to work for Him on the basis of common sense. What do I count in my life as dear to myself? If I have not Been Seized by Christ Jesus and Have not surrendered myself to Him, I will consider the time I decided to give God and my own thoughts of service as dear. I will ALSO CONSIDER my own life as dear to myself. Paul saidve Considered But his life so dear That I Might Fulfill the ministry I had received, and I refused to use his energy on anything else. This shows an almost seen by Paul Noble annoyance at being asked to Consider himself. He was absolutely indifferent to any consideration other than That of fulfilling the ministry I had received. Our ordinary and reasonable service to God May actually compete against our complete surrender to Him.Our work is based on reasonable Following the argument Which We say to ourselves, Remember how useful you are here, and how much value you think would be in private That type of work. That attitude chooses our own judgment, instead of Jesus Christ , to be our guide as to where we go and where we Should Could be used the most. Never Consider whether or not you are of use-but always Consider That you are not your own (1 Corinthians 6:19). You are His.(Oswald Chamber
