It was John Wesley, perhaps after reading through the book of Ezekiel Chapter 15 and 16 about the unfruitfulness and unfaithfulness of Israel, Prayed; “Lord let me not live to be useless”. Indeed, God answered his prayer and he became very useful to God and his generation.
God created you to be very useful and responsible. To be useful is to be willing to serve God and your generation according to the will of God (Acts 13:6). Serving God is our responsibility for the Divine privileges that we enjoy. God wants to use you to do something significant and great in His Church and world. God wants to use you to make a difference amidst Christians who are unwilling to serve.
God wants to work through you. He puts you where you are for a purpose. Are you really serving that purpose? God knows and you too. No one else on earth will be able to play the role God programmed for you. Therefore, if you fail to make your significant contribution to the full body of Christ and your generation, it may pass you by. Then, you will be considered unprofitable and useless.
God wants you to be very useful, godly and great, Undefilable and Unconquerable! God wants you to be a blessing to His kingdom and your generation by doing what you can with what you have, wherever you are. Truly, you were put on earth to make great contributions as an agent of transformation. You were created to add value to life on earth and not just to take from it. But it takes love to do it.
God wants you to be useful – helpful, effective, valuable and suitable. To be useful means; Serving divine purpose, having value or adding value, doing something that is very helpful to God, His Church and mankind. But the Devil wants every believer to be useless. That is: Unusable, Unsuccessful, Not doing something significant and helpful to God, His Church and the world. To be useless means: to be worthless, futile, fruitless, unprofitable, profitless, unproductive, unachievable and ineffective. What a great evil to be useless! I will be useful for I am an amazing Creation of God.
