The Kingdom is More than Talk

1 Corinthians 4:20
For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.

Though being part of the kingdom of God consists of sharing what He has done in your life verbally, this verse indicates there is more. That His kingdom consists of power.

So now here is the question: is your life a testimony of God's power? Or is your life at status quo with everyone else's life?

Before you resolve yourself that this is impossible, check yourself on the basics: first - has there been a change in your life (or are you different than than "normal" society) since Jesus came into your life? And secondly, do you have an inexplainable hope that keeps you from being defeated, even in the worst of situations?

I believe if you strive for these two, everything else falls into place. Rely on God's power first; if you are relying on His power, not on your ability to be a great conduit for Him, you will His power in your life.
