2 Timothy 4:2 -“…proclaim the Message with intensity; keep your watch. Challenge, warn and urge your people. Don’t ever quit." (The Message)
I heard a story a while ago which went something like this: There was a man in America who walked into a poor town one day with just the suit that he wore and a brown bag. He decided he would turn the town around. Within a few years this town was economically thriving and the town’s people decided to throw a celebratory party. The man who had turned it around gave a speech which started: “I turned up 5 years ago in just the suit I was stood up in a brown bag and I decided to turn this town around and now we have…….” He gave thanks to all those who worked with him and the party continued. As he left the stage from which he had been speaking he was surrounded by reporters who said that they just had one question: What was in the brown bag? The man replied “$3,000,000”.
Whoever we are (and we may look like a ‘brown bag’ on the outside!) we possess knowledge, insights, words from God that can encourage, correct and change lives around us. This is our $3,000,000.
What’s in your brown bag? What can you share?
I’ve decided to share the contents of mine. Some of it you may think is worth $3,000,000, some $3. However, if it benefits one person then this is good enough.
