Paul felt compelled to preach. God prompts us with a compulsion to serve Him in the area He has gifted us. We have been given gifts according to God’s grace that are all released by our faith. Sufficient faith to energize these giftings and callings comes from our personal fellowship and communion with the Lord.

You won’t grow in this faith hanging out in bars or watching inappropriate movies or becoming addicted to cell phone games. It comes through intimate communion with God through His Word and prayer. Your spiritual compulsion will arise.

PRAYER: Father, I want to be effective in Your Kingdom. Open my eyes to see clearly how I can be used by You today.
