Daily Devotions
April 21st, 2014 by Pastor SolleyPhil 1:12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
God has one great purpose for the Christian, that we might be used in the furtherance of the gospel message. The life of the Apostle Paul took many twists and turns, but from the time of his conversion to Christ his main interest was to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Along the way there were many things that “Have fallen out”. Paul was beaten, stoned, shipwrecked, he traveled many places, met many people from poor men to kings, healed the sick and lame, and finally lost his life for the cause of Christ. Yes, there were many things that “Have fallen out” for that man, but all were used in the furtherance of the gospel. Along the way our lives will take many twists and turns as well, some good, some we may say that are not so good, yet all can be used for the glory of the Lord, for the furtherance of the gospel message is we give all to Him. That is what Paul did, and what we need to do as well, give all to the Lord Jesus Christ. (Phil 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.) What has the Lord placed in your life, placed in your path that when given to him can be used for the furtherance of the gospel?
