READ: Luke 1:1-4
“It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.” – Luke 1:3-4
Luke declared that others had already written out the life story of Jesus Christ. In spite of this, Luke thought that it was a good idea for him to also write his version of the gospel of Christ. Luke decided to do a little bit more and write down what he had seen and learnt. What a big difference he made. We would not know many things if Luke had not bothered to do a little bit more.
Before I started out in the ministry of writing books, the devil said to me, “Your books are not necessary! No one will read them!” Satan said to me, “Everyone reads Kenneth Hagin books and you are a nobody from Africa. No one reads books written by men from Africa.” These words were enough to discourage me. I felt there was no need to write anything. However, I have been amazed at the response of people to my books. Even though Kenneth Hagin has published millions of books, it is important that I do a little bit more.
Many times, we think there is no need to do our little bit. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John each wrote a gospel. Was that really necessary or was it an overkill? I don’t think it was an overkill. Thinking that what you are doing is unnecessary will keep you from doing the will of God. It will definitely keep you from doing a little bit more.
Think about the contribution of Luke to the whole world by doing just a little bit more. Deciding to write one more account of Jesus’ life and ministry has done so much for the body of Christ.
