The Light Daily Devotional – Bringing People to God
Focus: Bringing People to God
WORD FOR TODAY
Everything we do for God holds true value only if it brings people to Him. Without this, our efforts, no matter how religious, lack eternal significance. True ministry is born when our actions draw others to God and help them fulfil His purpose!
Scriptural Reference
“Then the master said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.” — Luke 14:23 NKJV
Throughout the book of Judges, we see that when God raised up leaders, the people turned to Him. Without leadership, they did what they wanted and fell into oppression. This shows the importance of guiding others toward God. However, some leaders, like Jeroboam, led people away from God due to selfish motives, introducing them to idolatry. In contrast, God raised Moses to lead His people out of Egypt, not just for freedom, but so they could serve and worship Him.
Your ministry is a failure if it doesn’t draw people to God. It’s not enough to simply be busy with religious activities; the real measure of success is how many lives are transformed and brought closer to God. We are called to build His Kingdom, not our own.
Every believer has a ministry, whether you’re a pastor, teacher, or student. Your life should point others to Christ. Matthew 5:16 (NIV) says, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Like Moses, we are called to lead those around us out of darkness and into God’s light. If we fail to bring people to Him, we fail in our calling.
Meditation: Are you living in a way that brings people closer to God? Are your actions aligned with His purpose for your life?
Prayer: Lord, help me to live with the purpose of bringing people to You. Let my actions reflect Your love and lead others into a deeper relationship with You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Emphasis: Ministry is about drawing people to God. Without this focus, our efforts fall short of God’s true purpose.
Have a Purposeful Day!
