BE CONSISTENT: Devotion for Wednesday May 4, 2016
Text: 2 Timothy 4:1 – 8 Memory verse: v 2
Consistency is one of the bedrocks for excellence. Before you can make your mark that will bring you to the podium for recognition, you would have shown a great deal of consistency in your career. Today, ‘My Daily Covenant with God’ is gaining popularity because we refused to be discouraged by what people say or do. We have weathered the storm in the past years and refused to give up. These are some of the lessons we learnt from our mentor, Robin Sharma in his book, ‘A Leader who had no title.’ How determined are you to make it to the podium in your career? It demands consistency. Are you already washing your net? Don’t give up. A little more effort will make all the difference in your career in Jesus name.
Paul tells Timothy in our text, that his call demands consistency; being ready in season and out of season to preach, teach, discipline, etc (4:2). This is the only way he can make his mark as a pastor. This call to be consistent is not only in the Christian ministerial work. Such is needed in all the careers of life. Before you can become known in your career, you would have shown more commitment, zeal, dedication, passion, enthusiasm, etc, more than others you work with. How passionate, committed and enthusiastic are you in your work as a minister of the gospel, as a Christian, as a teacher, trader, artisan, civil/public servant, etc? Be consistent because that will bring you to the peak of your career.
Food for Thought: How consistent are you in your Christianity and career?
Prayer: Help me O Lord, to be consistent in my Christian race and career so I will make it to the podium at last in Jesus name.
