Christianity is not consistency to conscience or to convictions Christianity is being true to Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
One of the most difficult questions to answer in Christian work is, 'What do you expect to do?' You don't know what you are going to do. The only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing.......Hav e you been asking what God is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do. He reveals to you who he is.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Do not have as your motive the desire to be known as a praying man. Get an inner chamber in which to pray where no one knows you are praying, shut the door, and talk to God in secret.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Intercession is about putting ourselves in other’s shoes or having sympathy with others. But intercessions are about having the mind of God and see things through His perspective
Oswald Chambers
Image
One man or woman called of God is worth a hundred who have elected to work for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is better to enter into life maimed but lovely in God’s sight than to appear lovely to man’s eyes but lame to God’s.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have learnt that I am me, that I can do the things that, as one might put it, me can do, but I cannot do the things that me would like to do.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If you want to be of use to God, maintain the proper relationship with Jesus Christ by staying focused on Him & He will make use of you every minute you live- yet you will be unaware, on the conscious level of your life, that you are being used of Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There are many things that are perfectly legitimate, but if you are going to concentrate on God you cannot do them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
What a blessed habit I have found my prayer list, morning by morning, it takes me via the Throne of all Grace straight to the intimate personal heart of each one mentioned here, and I know that He Who is not prescribed by time and geography answers immediately.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our circumstances are the means God uses to exhibit just how wonderfully perfect and extraordinarily pure His Son is.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God cannot reveal anything to us if we have not His spirit.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We have no right to judge where we should be put, or to have preconceived notions as to what God is fitting us for. God engineers everything wherever He puts us, our one great aim is to pour out a whole-hearted devotion to Him in that particular work. 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.'
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is misleading to imagine that we are developed in spite of our circumstances, for we are developed because of them. It is mastery in circumstances that is needed, not mastery over them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is possible to know all about doctrine and yet not know Jesus. The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus. ....Have I a personal history with Jesus Christ? The one sign of discipleship is intimate connection with Him, a knowledge of Jesus Christ nothing can shake.
Oswald Chambers
Image
As soon as we abandon ourselves to God and do the task He has placed closest to us, He begins to fill our lives with surprises.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God saved us to make us holy, not happy. Some experiences may not contribute to our happiness, but all can be made to contribute to our holiness. Vance Havner The destined end of man is not happiness, nor health, but holiness. God's one aim is the production of saints.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God's will is hard only when it comes up against our stubbornness, then it is as cruel as a ploughshare and as devastating as an earthquake.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God wants to use us as He used His own Son
