But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in Judea and in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. (Acts 1:8)
Too many times Christians stop at the point of blessing. They give their life to the Lord and expect to get things from Him. They seek the blessings of God and become comfortable knowing God yet, never share Him with others. They hit a place of contentment in there relationship with Christ, yet have no desire to press-in any further.
Being a Christian is not about what God can do for you, but what you can do for Him. Did you know that God has a plan to use your life?
We are all called to be witnesses, to let others know that Christ has died for them and provided eternal life. It’s time to dig into the Word and seek God with all of your heart and let others know about the hope in Jesus Christ.
Are you comfortable in your relationship with Jesus? If you said yes, we want to challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and take your relationship with Christ to the next level.
God wants to use your life, but the choice is up to you. Are you willing to go past your comfort zone to stand up for Christ and become His witness? Are you willing to share the good news of the Gospel with others, even if it means making sacrifices in your life?
God has called you to be His witness to this world. It’s a command from the Lord. Our needs should come second to what the Lord has called us to do.
If you call yourself a Christian, it’s time to stand up and be counted. If there are still things in your life that have no eternal value, get rid of them. God is calling you past the point of blessing to the frontlines.

If the Body would really step up and out on the front lines then the Church would be so much stronger, I really believe that. It's time to reach others for Christ brothers and sisters, many are perishing but God wants US to reach the lost for His purposes. Allow God to use you, do the work that God has called you to do, don't lose your blessings by having Him give your work to somebody else to do !!!

I couldn't agree more !!! I was once guilty of stopping at the "point of blessing" and it caused me to backslide. I had fallen away from God, back into sin and eventually fell apart completely. I believe that if you don't have vision of Gods plan for your life then you can get very stagnant and begin seeking the things on the "world". Just like the Word says, " the harvest is plenty but the workers are few. " If each and every Christian was truly walking in Gods calling for their life then there would be so much more fruit being bared for Gods Kingdom. We are all called but so many get stuck in their comfortable little Church circles. We definitely need to go to Church, Bible study and have fellowship with other believers but there is SO much more to the Christian walk. It's about God FIRST, others SECOND and us LAST !!!
