Some reasons for rejecting the baton of faith.



From our earliest childhood, our mood determines our willingness,
Without encouragement, our light of service grow dim.
Without praises, it affects our state of happiness.

But when we come to know our Lord Jesus as Savior and Lord
This is a truly different ball game.

We don't look for human praises and encouragement, but
We look to our Lord for our hope, comfort, direction and education.

If your conviction is not true, your passion will be like the weather
Sometimes good, sometimes mysterious, and not consistent either.

Fear is one factor the evil one uses. Excuses comes in the form of -
not good enough, not prepared, not ready, or fear of scoff.

To take hold of the baton of faith may mean the end of an ambition
And by not taking it will mean - there is no restriction.

It is sad for Jesus to know it. He gave His all, despite knowing
What He had to do and He did it - "It is finished!'.

His passionate love and determination secures our salvation
reconciliation, and an assurance of a wonderful relationship in heaven.

Yes! service for the Lord will attract criticism, backbiting and other negative
emotions.

So dare we take hold of the baton of faith ??

Pray.
