We can't give anything to God! We just return back the things He has given to us to Him!

Question, what can we give to God? Wealth? Well, He provided them for us. Ourselves? God was the One Who created us!

Acts 17:25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.

The universe is made by God; all of it! Entirely! What about cars and machines that are human made? Are they made by God? Yes!!! They are made by God! God was the One Who created people, Who created the minds of people, Who inspired and gave ideas to people to make innovations! God made all of these things!

So, what can we give to God then? Simply; nothing! All we need to do is return back what He has given to us. Imagine if someone gives you a present. You will of course try to pay back what that person has given to you, right? Well, this law also works in our relationship with God!

Time, money, hearts and minds are expensive nowadays. We often hear people say (even I also often say these words) "Nobody ain't got time for that!" This just tells us that time is very limited nowadays.Simply, the devil doesn't want us to serve God, to spend time with God. So, he makes us busy with worldly things so that we can't even spend just tiny itsy bitsy time to at least say "Thank You" to God. Honestly, it is way easier to spend money in malls than offerings in the Church (I experience this a lot. Bad example). The fact shows that many people lose focus! Some people have their bodies in the Church but their mind is somewhere else! (I really need to work out on this one!)

Have you ever experience a moment when it is easier for you to ask friends to go to the mall than to go to Godly activities or gatherings? I've experinced that too. From that, I learn something valueable! Tactics!!! Woahahaha So, if you want to invite your friend(s) to join Church activities, you might want to use the word "play" or "hangout." The point is that we as 'men fishers' must put an attractive bait (which is something worldly) so that the fish would come to us. From this, we can learn that not all worldly things are bad. We can also use them for God's glory! Continue. As soon as we meet our friends, we hang out with them first like going to the mall or play in their house and stuff! Then ... We ask them to join Church activities to bring them closer to God! But patience and prayers are highly required. Pray first, ask the Holy Spirit to lead us. Be patient. Not all friends can easily accept Jesus or even us!

Now, back to the main topic. In the past, it was hard for the disciples to preach. They have no gadgets, cars, twitter, facebook, blogs and other stuff we have today. But! That didn't matter for them! They kept preaching! So, what about us? God has given lots and lots of facilities to us to use! Let's use them not only for our pleasure, but also to glorify God. I know and notice that there are just sooo many anon accounts on twitter that really blesses many people including me! And most of them are teenagers! Whoo!!!

One more thing, what God has let us been through are also our assets to glorify God! From our experiences, we witness God's mighty works. From our experiences, we also strengthen other people who are also having a similar condition like we had before. From our experiences, we can tell and preach how great our God is!

Come on! Let us use the things that God has given to us for His glory! Especially our lives. May our lives be a living sacrifice for God! Amen!
