Give It Your All – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional June 18th

(Be Committed To Bringing Salvation To Your World)

TO THE BIBLE: 2 Corinthians 1:8 AMPC
“For we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about the affliction and oppressing distress which befell us in [the province of] Asia, how we were so utterly and unbearably weighed down and crushed that we despaired even of life [itself].”

LET’S TALK
In Acts 19, Luke vividly recounts some of the Apostle Paul’s challenging experiences while spreading the Gospel. He faced personal risks, imprisonment, and even riots, like the one orchestrated by Demetrius the silversmith.

In Acts 22:24, a commander ordered him to be taken to the barracks for flogging and interrogation. No wonder Paul himself recalls, “…I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often” (2 Corinthians 11:23).

In his first letter to the Corinthian church, Paul mentions his encounter at Ephesus, saying, “…I have fought with beasts at Ephesus…” (1 Corinthians 15:32).

In his second letter, he describes feeling as if he and his companions were on death row in Asia, yet they received supernatural deliverance (2 Corinthians 1:8-9).

This same Gospel has been entrusted to you; will you take it lightly or give it your all? Are you willing to boldly proclaim the Gospel to your friends, classmates and neighbours, even if it means risking your social status or losing out on some friendships?

What about your family members who aren’t yet Christians? Will you boldly share the message with them or stay silent to avoid discomfort or rejection?

Some people hesitate to share their faith for fear of damaging relationships they’ve built. But remember, you’re a witness to your generation, and the Lord holds you responsible as their witness.

You must be committed to bringing salvation to those around you. This isn’t about self-preservation, comfort, or personal gain—it’s about honouring and glorifying Christ the Lord, regardless of the cost.

Speak:
Dear Lord, there’re no limits to how far I’m willing to go for this priceless Gospel that has been committed to my trust. I preach it boldly in the power of the Spirit, delivering many from the kingdom of darkness into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
