Checking into Gods Presence...
In every role we may find ourselves as a child of God, let it be known that we have assumed the position of vehicles which God uses to ride His messages of hope and joy into town. "You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone (2 Corinthians 3:2)
However, experience have shown these attribute to be very competitive. In that, the overall objective is for everyone to outshine and craftily outsmart one another at the expense of those whose heart we must win for Christ.
This includes every position we are likely to be serving the Lord. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 preaches "there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord.
God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us". How come we must have compulsory Christians in our midst today? No wonder we have compulsory liars, compulsory hatreds and jealousies too in the House of God, including all other anti social behaviours.
When Christians now fight each other under any guise, who can they bring in to serve God in return? And very purely today, it is so true we can no longer consider blindness as a means that can put someone in the position of obscurity, but the way we conduct ourselves in life and most importantly in the House of God.
The message of God is very clear according to Matthew 28:18-20 "Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Any child of God who therefore thinks that this Commandment exonerates their behavioural aspects towards one another can be classified as a compulsory Christian.
Just wondering why some behaviour can be so foreign to the extent that they act more as a pollutant than the message of hope, joy and salvation that Christ intended them to be. And I say very emphatically that we are the first Bible people must read before they can be drawn unto Christ in the first place.
And in this Lenten Season, my prayer to God in this new week is to let all compulsion in our lives be geared towards serving Him, and that is in truth, unity and in Holiness, all in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
May we all have a magnificent Monday filled with the perfection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
