Lift Him Up

August 31, 2025

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. John 12:32

We all know someone who is going through something in their lives, and because we are Christians and we get so much out of our Churches, we invite them to our Church. Many of us go to great Churches who have poured into our lives in ways that cannot even begin to articulate. The truth of the matter is we should not simply lift up our Church, but we should lift up Jesus Christ. The Scripture remind us, if He be lifted up from the earth, He will draw all men unto Him. I encourage you today to lift Christ up wherever you go. Lift Him up in your Church, lift Him up in your home, and even on your job. When you lift Christ up in your home even those who are not saved will be drawn to Christ, because of what He is doing in your life. When you can lift Him up on your job, those who are struggling will be drawn to Him. Christ has done so much in your life, and you should have no problem testifying to His goodness and mercy in your life. When you can share with others the powerful ways that Jesus has turned your life around, and what He has done for you, and exclaiming He can do the same things for them, you are lifting Christ up. If we really love and care about those who are in our lives without Christ, we will do all we can do to lift Christ up in their presence so they can experience His power, anointing, love and blessing, and in turn want to experience Him for themselves. Wherever I go I am going to lift Christ up, and know when I do, someone will see Him and be drawn to Him. Since I will lift Him up, I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

No matter where I am or what I am doing I will lift you up Lord for the world to see. You have done so many great and wonderful things for me, and I know you will do the same for others if I would just lift you up for the world to see. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
