Thrive

It is important to be open-minded in mission. We should be open wherever and whenever the Spirit will lead us. Sensing the Spirit is very important because we have manuals to guide but the Holy Spirit should lead us. When Jesus said to the first disciples in Matthew 4:19, “Come follow me.” Immediately they followed him. The response was immediate! There was no delay. The call of the Lord requires an immediate response! That is why when we are called to different area, assigned somewhere else or given an instant assignment, we should be ready because it can happen sometimes in an instant and even without explanation. Are we ready to pack things up and go?

We should be open, whatever assignments we are in, because the moment we are not, it will just stress us out. Stress keeps us away from joy. Without joy I don’t know how we can thrive. We might be able to survive but we will not thrive. To just survive is tiring but to thrive is joyful!

Mission without joy is like carrying unnecessary load; we will just end up tired and miserable.

Thrive don’t just survive!
