Spiritual Shift 17: From Being Entitled to Being Sacrificial

Description: We rejoice in the privilege of sacrificing for the sake of others, that they might know the mystery of Christ, and we ‘strenuously contend’ that they might become fully mature in Him. We choose to love with actions, not just with words, laying down our lives for those in need just as Jesus did for us. We actively pursue those under the Enemy’s influence to rescue them from destruction, no matter the cost to ourselves. Whatever it takes, we are all in for the mission of Jesus.

Scriptures: Colossians 1:24-2:3; 1 John 3:16-22; 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:5 Select one of these scriptures and meditate on it.

Prayer Prompts: What strikes you concerning the spiritual sacrifices required? As you read pay attention to your inner heart posture? Invite Jesus to shift your heart where necessary, without judgement or condemnation. Thank Him for His kindness and companionship as you journey together into the new. He will show you what is next!
