God established the nature of man. God called us to function as He does.
God established mans purpose. Genesis 1:28. God has created us to have dominion. God calls us VERY good.
God established giving man ability. To operate the same way He does, speaking and declaring with faith.
“Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ’s return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless. But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God, just like your faithful service is an offering to God. And I want all of you to share that joy. Yes, you should rejoice, and I will share your joy.” ~ Philippians 2:12-18
Remember that your life is no longer your own!
You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body. ~ 1 Corinthians 6:20 [AMP]
You were ultimately chosen to lead others into a life of purpose!!
The work of the Cross was a complete work! But the only way that the Ministry of Jesus can be carried out on this earth is through the life of believer!
Decide today to give Jesus your all! Determine in your heart that no matter what job you do, what ministry you are in, that your number one focus will always be to reconcile people back to God!
“But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.” ~ 1 Peter 2:9
Maximus Decimus Meredius, aka “GLADIATOR”, once said “What we do in this life, echoes in eternity!” Though it’s only a movie quote, there really is a great lesson to be learned from these words! Our lives do make an impact in eternity! God designed you and chose you to carry out His plans and purposes on this earth in order to cause the earth to inherit His promises and ultimately His kingdom! You could have been born at any time, but God saw it fit that you should be born now. For such a time as this!
[The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in Whom we have our redemption through His blood, [which means] the forgiveness of our sins. ~ Colossians 1:13-14
Now that you have been rescued it’s time to rescue and lead others out of the dark and into the light!
