Relentless Sample

There are Christians all over the world who are in different situations just like the 3 servants were all in different situations. Some Christians are held back by cultural stipulations, some Christians are held back by government oppression, and even some are held back by social standards. But despite freedoms, circumstances, or governments all Christians are called.

It’s easy to sit back and say that someone, somewhere, with better resources and more money should be doing it, but that isn’t the truth. The truth is you were called by Jesus. If you have been called it doesn’t matter if you have the resources of the 5-bag servant or the 1-bag servant; it doesn’t matter what you are working with—or even what you are working against. It’s hard to be relentless in the face of cultural, political, and social adversity and even harder to take responsibility upon yourself to fulfill God’s calling, but we have power in Jesus. The servants had power because their master gave it to them. We have power because Jesus has given it to us, but we have to be willing to use it in every circumstance of life. 

Reflect: 

Do you use your circumstances as an excuse? 

What is the biggest thing that is keeping you from being relentless right now? How are you doing to crush that lie?
