KINGDOM REPUTATION
“You already know about his excellent reputation, since he has served alongside me as a loyal son in the work of ministry”
Philippians 2:22 (TPT)
No matter how you operate (whether in secret or openly), the impact of your actions cannot be hidden.
Consistent impact is tangible and visible.
To make an impact is to have a marked effect or influence on someone or a people. The consistency of your impact forms part of the body of your reputation.
Wherever you find yourself, people will remember you according to your reputation.
There are people who have a great reputation in their workplaces or schools, but have no great reputation in the Kingdom.
What are you known for in the Kingdom?
Will you call it an excellent reputation?
Is it worth celebrating?
Does your reputation inspire faith?
Does your reputation reflect the things which interest the Lord?
As a Kingdom person, your reputation must be that you serve the purpose of the Lord.
You cannot be serving your interests and expect to be applauded by the Lord.
Some claim they do God’s work, but not in the open. The work of the Lord cannot be hidden. Like I said from the beginning, no matter how you operate, your great impact cannot be hidden.
Thus, if you are truly making an impact, your reputation will be known by the Lord and by the saints.
You are a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden (Matthew 5:14).
It is prideful to think that the saints are not to determine whether you have an excellent reputation or not. You cannot make an excuse that you are making an impact, and it is only the Lord that knows.
In case you didn’t read the opening verse well, read again:
“You already know about his excellent reputation, since he has served alongside me as a loyal son in the work of ministry”
They knew the reputation of Timothy because his service to the Lord and impact were tangible.
You cannot serve the Lord directly without serving in partnership with the saints. You cannot serve the Lord outside His Church. You serve the Lord through His Church (precisely, the ministry in which He has planted you).
Timothy had the opportunity to serve the Lord and to achieve an excellent reputation through the ministry of Paul the apostle. His reputation was built over time as he followed instructions and served diligently.
Your genuine and excellent reputation in your local Church is recognised as a reputation in the Kingdom.
How are you handling responsibilities entrusted to you?
Do you execute the assignment of the Kingdom given to you with excellence?
How is your reputation advancing the Kingdom?
Do you have a reputation for sitting on the fence?
Do you have a reputation for not being available or consistent?
What is the testimony of your Pastor or Leader about you?
Your Kingdom reputation is according to the big things you dare to do for the Lord through your local Church.
And that is a determinant of your heavenly crowns and rewards.
Selah.
