God's work and way is never a way of
isolation except for a time or duration. It is a flowing river of water
that cleanses out all impurities in our lives. As human beings, we
constantly have interactions that are not particularly heavenly or
spiritual but God wants us to Live His spiritual life even here on earth
so that we can grow to obtain what He has in store for us who are
faithful as His children. When Jesus went to the wilderness to be
tempted by the devil, the Bible records
that after it was over, Angels came to minister to Him. If you are
currently going through a trial or tough experience, I want you to know
that periods like this is not all there is and they mean something, if
you will only ask God to show you as He sees. Stand your ground firmly
in the faith of what God has told you and expect His ministers to speak
to you to give you strength.
The Bible says 'Iron sharpens Iron' which literally means that we
should be encouragers of one another in the faith, believing God alone,
through trying times and other times encouraging a closer walk with God
and deeper knowledge of Him. Recently, I asked a question to a
Christian brother of mine if he would know the difference between the
commands of men that have become religious doctrines and the truth of
God. Would You?
His response gave me further thought on what
Jesus mentioned in the Bible in Matt 15: 8,9 'All you praise me with
your words, but you never really think about me. It is useless for you
to worship me, when you teach rules made up by humans - CEV' 'The people
draweth nigh unto me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines, the commandments
of men - KJV' In our pursuit of truth, let us not be carried away by
charisma abd become carriers of the wrong things because Good intends to
use us as instruments of ministry to others.
In a similar
conversation, we were gathered together and a conversation about the
economy and state of the world arose and how great a challenge it as.
Again, I was reminded of the scripture where God says that '...in our
sleep, He blesses us'. The life of a child of God is blessed, within and
without and we must never forget this. Regardless of your circumstance,
I ant you to see anew, to know the truth of your salvation of how God
has brought you out of darkness into His marvelous light and He says:
Let your light so shine that they may see your good works and glorify
your father who is in Heaven.
Dear friends, as children of God,
we are all ministers in Christ, one to another, brethren of the
fellowship of Jesus Christ so let your belief (faith), words, hope and
love be of Him who is able.
God Bless you
