Walking in usefulness?

Testimony Time:-It is another good morning. But please note, the date may have changed, the time may have moved on and you may also have woken up thinking the Lord is not on your side. You may have compromised your self believe in faith and righteousness to such an extent that you feel so abandoned in a manner that makes you think there is no God. On the other hand, you may have stepped into the day feeling elated, fulfilled and excited because of what God has done and how grateful you are to have made it till this day. And despite these varying characteristics displaying the works of God, grafted in between them are the acceptance of aging processes bestowed indiscriminately upon all. But somehow today, many are standing tall at the expense of the days that constantly rise and fall before our fading eyes. Therefore, while claiming to be in Christ, the first thing that can make positive impact in your position is the acceptance of the position you may find yourself. Without any doubt, it forms the basis of walking towards your usefulness before you can begin to serve and fulfill any purpose God had prepared for you. In retrospect, David became an adulterer after sleeping with Bathsheba the wife of Uriah-the Hittite (2 Samuel 11:26). And by so doing, he caused the death of Uriah in order to cover up his misdeeds. Although he was convicted of the crime by Prophet Nathan, in the eyes of the law today, David would have been convicted of a murder charge which is capable of being reduced to manslaughter. What is important to us today is that David understood his position, he confessed his sins in Psalm 51 and regained back his lost status before the Lord. And so in Act 13:22, David's status was again reaffirmed to link him directly to the period before he began his reign in 1 Samuel 13:14. This shows David's guilt being erased. He was able to regain once again the Lord's purpose for his life because he moved away from the position of self pity and from what people were saying to become linked with the usefulness of God's purpose in His life. You can do the same today Brethren. Accept your position and that is irrespective of how painful it is. Move away from guilty verdicts and begin to seek righteousness. It is then you can understand the purpose of God in your life. And that only can link you up with your usefulness in this world in Jesus name. Amen Just checking in into His Presence...
