1. Give God the GloryMany people today think as if God is dead because they never see Him at work in their life. When we tell others what God is doing in our lives, it shows them He is alive and still working today. Philippians 1:6 says, "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” If you have made a decision for Christ or God is at work in your life, speak up and let someone know. It will give God the glory for what He is doing.
2. Encourage the Church Family
Even good people get tired or discouraged. One of the most encouraging things is to hear how God is working in someone else. Psalm 107:2 says, “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.”
3. Making Public What God Is Doing in Your Heart Makes You Accountable
We have no problem making decisions known when we truly intend on keeping them. When we shy away from telling others about a decision we have made, it is usually a sign that we really have no intention of keeping it at all. Learn to embrace and value accountability.
Let me encourage you to speak up and make known what God is doing in your heart and life. Share it with others in your youth group or Bible study group. Share it with your pastor and church. When is the last time you spoke of His work in you? I encourage you to do so. It will not only encourage others, it will encourage you.
