Robert Murray McCheyne, (1813-1843)
A brief life of thirty years, but his vibrant
ministry continued to reap fruit long after his passing. He so often professed:
”Live so as to be missed.” In fact more than six thousand people attended his
funeral.
McCheyne’s church flourished growing
in membership and spiritual fervor. He stimulate people with Bible studies,
service projects to aid the poor, evangelistic outreaches, also the increasing of
praise and worship in his services. McCheyne credits his ministry success to
his devotional life, prayer, meditation and Bible study.
If you have ever wondered where God
wants you,
then consider this Devotional of Robert Murray McCheyne;
“Live for Christ Where You Are”
1 Corinthians 12:18-19 (KJV)
18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it
hath pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
McCheyne said;
Everyone has his
peculiar work assigned him and should not leave it. Learn, dear friends, to keep to your
own work. When the Lord has hung up a lamp in one corner, is there no
presumption in removing it to another ? Is not the Lord wiser than man ? Each
of you has your work to do for Christ where you are.
1 Corinthians 7:20 (KJV)
20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
“Only Live for Christ where you are.”
