C. Be willing to accept responsibilities your good testimony has earned for you
As you mature in the Lord, He will offer you positions of greater responsibility and service. These positions will demand a greater commitment of time and resources. Don’t say no to these opportunities due to false humility or because you feel unable to carry them out. The Lord will supply all your need if you will only trust Him. Sometimes such opportunities may not be offered again. Take them in His time rather than in your time.

2 Corinthians 9:8; Ephesians 3:16; Philippians 4:19

D. Don’t become a stumblingblock for others
We have dealt with this important area in regards to your testimony before the world. It is just as important that you not provide a stumblingblock for Christians as it is for the lost. Paul wrote:

“Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend” (1 Corinthians 8:13).

This should be our testimony before our brothers and sisters in Christ as well.
