Follower of One : Missions For The Rest Of Us

How do we build spiritual strength? Today is the start of our next Marketplace Mission Trip and we begin with prayer. Prayer is the beginning of everything. We build spiritual strength like we build physical strength, through trials and tribulations. We have to pray, trust God, and let Him build that strength in us. Pray for God to show you the ways you need to trust in Him more. Pray for Him to show you ways to show Him to your co-workers during this mission trip and come leave us a comment or send us an email and tell us about how God is working in you this week.

In this week’s episode of the Follow of One podcast, Mike speaks with Keith Davis. Keith is a Minister for First Baptist Church Owasso here in Oklahoma. He oversees all of the local, regional and international mission efforts for the church! Please welcome him to the community!

We all have different needs because we walk different lives but something in common between all followers of Christ are spiritual needs. What type of spiritual needs do you have? Keith talks with Mike about The Mission through First Baptist Church Owasso, which provides services to the needy but more importantly provides spiritual resources to those in a better environment. Most of the time we want to help people based on the few common things, however, your spiritual being is just as important. When is the last time you “fed” your spirit? What does replenishing your spirit look like for you? Is it praying consistently? How about doing something only for the benefit of someone else? Comment below with your favorite way to feed the soul! 

What type of relationships are you a part of? Do all of your friends believe in God? Sometimes, especially as we get older, we tend to have a set group of friends and stick with that group. Never expanding, or moving forward. It is a very special thing and should be cherished but Keith talks about how there are some very important reasons to make an extra effort in building relationships with non-believers. Why? Because it builds understanding. It structures new ways to think about things and gives you the opportunity to have a genuine, judgment-free, friendship with someone who may need your help getting on the path to God. Don’t take your neighbor for granted. Even if they are opposed to your beliefs, that doesn’t mean you can’t learn from them and in turn, they learn from you! Do you have any experience with this? Let us know so we can share in our community!

“But I’m Not a Leader!” Is that you? Many faith-at-work messages are instructions for leaders and white-collar workers. But when Mike first became a Christ-follower, he realized faith was for everyone. He wanted a job working for God, but he also needed a job that paid his bills. In this passage, Mike discovered that God has a calling for every person, and often, God doesn’t choose the leaders as much as He makes leaders out of those who follow Him!

Colossians 3:13 tells us to bear with each other and forgive one another, the same way Jesus forgave us. How can we put this verse to use in our everyday lives? Ask God to show you who you should forgive. Then look for ways to get to know them better and serve them as Jesus would.

Do you keep score? Do you keep a record and try to get even? The Bible challenges us to bless others. We don’t do something nice to someone to get even. We do something nice because we trust God. We are each accountable for our actions. If someone does wrong with us, God will make that right. Can you maintain good motives and good actions toward others, even when they don’t do good toward you?

Mike talks today about how we can get sidetracked at work. We can get so consumed in the urgent tasks that we miss the eternal importance of our everyday life. If we walk through our lives focused on our daily tasks and our comfort, we miss the opportunity to gain wisdom and experience the joy of walking with God.
