Challenge of a child of God

1Samuel17:41~49 David said to the Philistine,“You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” (45)

People endlessly make efforts and challenge in order to fulfill their own dreams or to gain benefit or glory. However, the challenge of the saved children of God is different. They challenge with their lives at stake not for their own profit or glory but to fulfill God’s glory and His kingdom. Now, we must begin the challenge as children of God.

1. What we must know first

Jesus Christ opened the way to meet God when we were still sinners and were separated from God. He solved all of our sins and curses, destroyed the authority and work of the devil, and called us as children of God. Salvation is God’s complete love. No person or thing can sever you from this love. What you need to know first as a person who will begin to challenge to save the world is that you are a child of God and that you have been called as an evangelist to save this age. This is the true identity that has been given to us.

2. What we must continue

We who have been called as children of God need to continue one thing. It is enjoying the blessings from God by meditating on the Word every day in your daily life. You simply need to gain strength from God when you wake up in the morning, do your best in the tasks you have been given through the filling of the Holy Spirit God gives you throughout your day, and organize the Word and find the answers God has given to you at night. That is when God grants you the strength to focus on Him to heal us and to raise us as people of answers.

3. What to restore

God desires to restore the broken fields through His children. Just like God witnessed to the entire world that Jehovah is the one and only God through one person, David, God desires to relay the glory of God, the power of the Gospel, and the blessings of the church through us in this chaotic age. God has called you as one person who will restore His glory. Know your true identity, continue to take time to focus on God, and stand as the main figure who will save your family, church, and field.
