Ephesians 6:22 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage you.

How do you encourage other people? One of the best ways is to keep them informed of all you get up to so they can see you are doing things for God!

I know I am not the best to talk on this subject because I don’t keep people informed! But I have started making changes on that front because I will start doing so very soon.

It is always encouraging to get news of what someone is doing, so if you cannot make it personally and cannot send someone else instead, then try send an email, a text or even a letter!

1 Corinthians 14:3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.

When we pray, we pray to God. When we study the scriptures, we listen to God. When we do things for God, we obey Him.

But what about the people around us? How does the gospel message get out to them? They have to be told by someone and what better person than the one thinking about the subject?

God wants us to share what we learn, share what we know and share what we hear.

Give God the glory for all He continues to do in this world and not just what has happened in the past!

1 Corinthians 14:1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.

The apostle promoted many things, love being one of the most highly recommended; but here he makes sure people know just how important prophecy is.

We should all desire spiritual gifts from God. We should all exercise those He has given us. To What end?

So we can tell people about Christ, about God and about all which is to come still. That is prophecy. Be willing to listen to God and tell others what he is telling you!
