How can we apply "awesome deeds" to our personal ministry efforts? Setting the Scene “ They will proclaim the power of Your awesome deeds, and I will declare Your greatness.” (Psalm 145:6) What “Awesome Deeds” Reveals about God • God’s actions are extraordinary—miracles, providence, redemption. • They display His power and goodness, stirring awe and worship. • Scripture treats these works as facts, not myths (Exodus 15:11; Deuteronomy 10:21). Why This Matters for Personal Ministry • Ministry is simply joining the ongoing testimony of God’s mighty acts. • When we share His awesome deeds, we spotlight Him, not ourselves (Psalm 115:1). • Personal credibility grows when people see His power verified in our lives (Acts 4:13–14). Principles for Proclaiming His Awesome Deeds 1. Remember Constantly – Keep a written record of answered prayers and breakthroughs. – Meditate on biblical examples: the Exodus (Psalm 106:8–12), the Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3–8). 2. Speak Boldly – Integrate testimony into everyday conversation (Psalm 71:15–17). – Use clear, simple language; avoid religious jargon that muddies the marvel. 3. Live Consistently – Let conduct back up the message (Philippians 1:27). – Pursue holiness so no hypocrisy dulls the impact. 4. Celebrate Publicly – In gatherings, highlight God’s interventions rather than human success. – Sing and read passages that recount His wonders (Psalm 40:9–10). 5. Invite Personally – Offer to pray with people on the spot, expecting God to act (James 5:16). – Follow up and point out when He answers; call it what it is—His awesome deed. Practical Steps to Start This Week • Identify one recent instance of God’s clear help. Write a 60-second version of the story. • Share it with a friend or coworker before week’s end. • Post Psalm 145:6 somewhere visible to prompt daily gratitude and readiness. • Replace vague phrases like “I was lucky” with “God provided” or “God healed.” • Join or form a small group focused on recounting weekly God-sightings. Encouragement from Supporting Scriptures • “Declare His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all peoples.” (1 Chronicles 16:24) • “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you.” (Mark 5:19) • “We cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:20) • “They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” (Revelation 12:11) Closing Challenge Step into each day expecting fresh “awesome deeds” from God. Observe them, celebrate them, and proclaim them so that others are drawn to His greatness. |
