Involvement is a very important part of our Life and Ministry. Discover some insights on involvement for yourself. Let us break up involvement into 4 manageable areas of influence in our lives.
OUR INVOLVEMENT WITH GOD
This involvement results in salvation - our new birth through Christ. We need to daily walk with and to maintain a close relationship with Jesus. Think of Him and involve Him in your plans. Pray always and go deeper in exploring the rich treasures from His Word. This is the single and top most significant involvement of our lives. Do not neglect it because it is not automatic! You have to work at developing closeness with God!
OUR INVOLVEMENT WITH MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY
Parents , children, relatives, mates ... whether Chrisitians or not, all these comprise our close circle of contact. We include them in our thoughts - some of course, more closely than others. If we neglect them, over time relationships became fragile and detached. Do care for them always!
OUR INVOLVEMENT WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS
Usually, they are from the Church you attend. This number grows as you relate to each other through interaction and sharing. You will discover in other believers, areas of mutual interest and cooperation. The churchis a home away from home, where you give and receive valued support one for the other. Do not just think of yourself think about others too!
OUR INVOLVEMENT WITH NON-CHRISTIANS
We work alongside them, do business with them. We even dine with them and are entertained by them. Unfortunately, most Christians cut off all close ties with non-Christians months after salvation. Small wonder we find difficulty in sharing our faith with them. If we want to evangelize them, we haveto befriend them and show them the reality of our God!
