The aim of the missionary is to do God's will, not to be useful, not to win the heathan he is useful and does win the heathen, but that is not his aim. His aim is to do the will of his Lord.

More quotes by Oswald Chambers
We read some things in the Bible three hundred and sixty-five times and they mean nothing to us, then all of a sudden we see what God means, because in some particular we have obeyed God, and instantly His nature is opened up.
Oswald Chambers
If we rely on the Holy Spirit, we shall find that our prayers become more and more inarticulate and when they are inarticulate, reverence grows deeper and deeper.
Oswald Chambers
It is impossible to get exhausted in work for God. We get exhausted because we try to do God's work in our own way.
Oswald Chambers
Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished.
Oswald Chambers
Watch where Jesus went. The one dominant note in His life was to do His Father's will. His was not the way of wisdom or of success, but the way of faithfulness.
Oswald Chambers
Never water down the Word of God, but preach it in its undiluted sternness. There must be unflinching faithfulness to the Word of God, but when you come to personal dealings with others, remember who you are- you are not some special being created in heaven, but a sinner saved by grace.
Oswald Chambers
If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.
Oswald Chambers
Spend plenty of time with God let other things go, but don't neglect Him. We are not here to do work for God, we are here to be workers with Him, those through whom He can do His work.
Oswald Chambers
Our natural virtues can never come anywhere near what Jesus Christ wants.
Oswald Chambers
Abandonment to God is of more value than personal holiness!
Oswald Chambers
Ask God for what you want, but you cannot ask if you are not asking for a right thing. When you draw near to God, you cease from asking for things.Your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him. Then, why ask? That you may get to know Him.
Oswald Chambers
Once we see Jesus, the impossible things He does in our lives become as natural as breathing.
Oswald Chambers
I cannot give up my will - I must exercise it, putting it into action.
Oswald Chambers
We preach to men as if they were conscious they were dying sinners, they are not they are having a good time.
Oswald Chambers
Intercessory prayer for one who is sinning prevails. God says so! The will of the man prayed for does not come into question at all, he is connected with God by prayer, and prayer on the basis of the Redemption sets the connection working and God gives life.
Oswald Chambers
Never consider whether you are of use but ever consider that you are not your own but His.
Oswald Chambers
Wait on God and He will work, but don't wait in spiritual sulks because you cannot see an inch in front of you! Are we detached enough from our spiritual hysterics to wait on God? To wait is not to sit with folded hands, but to learn to do what we are told.
Oswald Chambers
Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have, Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift. Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessing back to Him in a deliberate act of worship.
Oswald Chambers
When we pray in the Name of Jesus the answers are in accordance with His nature, and if we think our prayers are unanswered it is because we are not interpreting the answer along this line.
Oswald Chambers
A life of intimacy with God is characterized by joy.
