Beyond Personal Concerns

Devotional From The Sermon: The Cry For Help (Part 1)

Rev. Dr. Bankole Akinbinu

Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10

Devotional:

Paul declares that we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. Salvation is not merely about escaping hell or securing personal blessings. It’s about being liberated to fulfill God’s purposes. God didn’t break the chains of sin just so we could live comfortably; He freed us to serve others and advance His kingdom.

Sometimes the emptiness we feel isn’t because we need more for ourselves, but because we need to give more to others. True fulfillment comes when we walk in the good works God prepared for us before the foundation of the world. Today, ask God to reveal how He wants to use your gifts, resources, and experiences to bless others.

Reflection:

• What good works has God prepared specifically for you to walk in?
