Be Prepared

Remember the movie "The Lion King?" Remember Scar? Mufasa's older brother? Remember the musical number where Scar is singing with all the hyenas? I remember the main hook of the chorus he bellowed out for all to hear. He sang, "Be prepared." Remember? Thus, the topic today. 

Be prepared. Prepared for what? For works of service. Why "works of service?" Works of service is teaching and helping others in the Church. Using whatever gifts He has given you to help the Church grow into mature Christians.

Why? We all help everyone along the way so the Church will be built up in Christ, have unity, and be mature Christians. Whatever you do, do in love.

Ephesians 4:11-15 NIV

[11] So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,

 [12] to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up [13] until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 

[14] Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 

[15] Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 

When we all help each other then we will not be "tossed to and fro" with all kinds of crazy teachings and misled by people who are up to no good.

So, be prepared. Use whatever gift he has given you to help our brothers and sisters in Christ. Prepare yourself for action. We're all in this together.

Be prepared!
