Beyond the quiet flip
Testimony Time:-Good morning everyone and welcome to another day. Clearly, it has been a quiet flip over from day 13 to 14 in the Month of November and the year 2015. However and very rightly too, those who are called after the name of Christ, can claim to have been called directly or indirectly by God. And today, the same God have chosen to strengthen us by giving us the power to push until we become a living witness and then be able to see the birth of another day.
Categorically, it does not matter at what length or stage you may have been called and by whatever means the Lord may have deployed to make you His own. What matters now is if you are fit enough to maintain your calling before the Creator of Heaven and Earth and the Everlasting King.
Let me reiterate, in the very first instance and as a child of God, God would have had to purge us of certain spirit/darkness so that we can be toned to His standard. The overall essence is to allow the Holy Spirit to take preeminence in our lives. From then on, working and walking with God therefore depends so much on how much one can nurture the Silent Spirit of God in us with the fruits of righteousness. Primarily, this is so that we can "be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ-to the glory and praise of God". (Philippians 1:10-11)
Therefore, if after you have met with Christ and you again decide to miss your road, there is a problem! Unless there is a divine intervention, one is bound to miss his/her road forever. We can draw inference from the story of Saul in 2 Samuel 3:1. Having been called and chosen as a king over the people of Israel, Saul chose to miss his road again before the presence of the Lord. What happened was-the rightful Spirit of the Lord deserted him in a manner that saw "David prospering and growing always stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul decaying daily".
At this stage, and if we must be reassured, the same God still operates till now. And that is because we serve the Lord who cannot change position. His reign is from everlasting to everlasting, so where can you hide? Ecclesiastes 3:11 buttresses this point-“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end". Psalm 103:17 also claim that "the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children"
Now the choices are clearly apparent. You can either denounce the instructions of God in a way that can be likened to that of Saul and then begin to decay daily without your understanding and or knowing/accepting the issues. Or you can choose to uphold His righteousness by walking and working with His Holiness, and then flourish like David.
May the Grace of God enliven our souls with His righteousness and make our hearts fit enough so that the Holy Spirit can continue to reside in us in Jesus name. Amen
