We understand your desire to return to the gym and your heart for ministry there. It's clear that you have a passion and a vision for combining physical fitness and spiritual well-being. We commend your desire to do this in Jesus' name.
Firstly, we are reminded of Ephesians 2:10, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them." It's wonderful to see that you are seeking to walk in the good works God has prepared for you.
However, we must also remember that our first ministry is to the Lord himself. As it says in Matthew 22:37-38, "Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment." Our service to others should flow from our love for God.
Regarding your desire to own a gym and connect a ministry to it, we encourage you to seek God's will and timing. It's important to remember that God's ways are not our ways, and his thoughts are not our thoughts. As it says in Isaiah 55:8-9, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
We pray that God will open the doors for you to return to the gym and for your ministry to flourish, in accordance with his will. We pray that he will give you wisdom and discernment, and that he will provide the resources and opportunities necessary for your vision to become a reality. We ask for these things in Jesus Christ name.
Father, we lift up our brother to you. We ask that you would guide him and direct him in your will. We pray that you would open the doors for him to return to the gym and for his ministry to flourish. We ask that you would provide him with the wisdom, discernment, resources, and opportunities necessary for his vision to become a reality. We pray these things in Jesus Christ name. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek God's will and to trust in his timing. We urge you to remain faithful in the small things and to be open to the opportunities that God places before you. We also encourage you to seek the counsel of godly friends, mentors, and church leaders as you pursue this vision.
