“You are the body of Christ, and members individually.”
Everyone has a calling or invitation to walk into God’s direction for their life.
We have been bought with a price, and we no longer belong to ourselves, but they are legally God’s, and He determines what we do with our lives. Too many times we ask the Lord to bless our life decisions. It’s so important as Christians to know the purpose God has for our lives living it in alignment with your calling – everywhere you go.
We can jump out of our calling because we lack lowliness, gentleness, longsuffering and bearing with one another.
How long do we endure suffering? As long as it takes to become like JESUS!
“WALK WORTHY OF THE CALLING WITH WHICH YOU WERE CALLED!” Eph 4:1
Ephesians 4:1-16, Philippians 2:7, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 1 Corinthians 12:1-31
We think our ministry is about us, but our ministry according to God’s standard is what you are supposed to do to serve and help and bless others. You and I all have an assignment to serve other people, and God is saying, “Fulfill your ministry!” He’s given all of us gifts and talents for one reason – to bless other people!
We’re going to have to make an account for what we do with all that He’s given us.
Jesus is coming to settle accounts!
Matthew 25:14–19, Revelation 3:11–12, Ephesians 4:7–16, 2 Timothy 4:1–5, Romans 14:12
There’s a fighting style for us to learn.
Float like a butterfly – SURRENDER.
Sting like a bee – FIGHT.
We always want the Joshua 6 moment, but not so much the Joshua 5 moment.
In order for Joshua to get instruction, he had to get on his face, and take off his shoes in surrender.
We have to surrender every day, picking up our cross, even when the plan is weird.
Joshua 5:13:15, Joshua 6:1-5, Daniel 10:5-11, Revelation 22:8-9, Exodus 3:4-5, Matthew 16:24, Luke 22:42
The Son of God, the Son of Man will appear in the Eastern sky, right before our eyes.
And BAM! In a moment, we will be changed from mortal to immortal, from dying to never dying.
There is a day coming that Jesus will appear, and He will sit on His throne, and like a shepherd, He will separate the sheep from the goats. We will give an account to Jesus for our life lived unto Him.
We’ve all been given an assignment from God to PREACH, to DECLARE the WORD! We must be more concerned about someone’s eternity than we are about our feelings. We must teach the truth publicly, whether it’s convenient and favorable, or it’s inconvenient and unfavorable, whether culture says it’s good or not.
Jesus is coming back!
Is Jesus the King of your life?
When He separates you, will He separate you as a sheep or a goat?
Be READY! PREACH THE WORD! STICK TO THE TRUTH!
Zechariah 14:4, Matthew 25:31–45, Acts 10:42–43, 2 Timothy 4:1–5, 1 Corinthians 15:51–53
GO FIND SOMEONE & TELL THEM TO COME & SEE JESUS!
Roads Church – we must not neglect our assignment that God has given to plant churches. Time is running short, and people need to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the power of Holy Spirit. The world needs the truth! God is reminding us – Don’t forget what you were called to do!
FIND someone who hasn’t seen what you’ve seen, and SHOW them what you’ve seen! That they may never un-see! We have to find people, and give them the hope of Jesus Christ. This is why God has called us to go out and plant churches and to reach people in other communities. It’s not about us! We’re building His Kingdom – not ours.
Who is the last Nathaniel that you’ve said, “Come and see what I have seen about Jesus. He has changed my life”?
Who is the last Philip, the last Simon, the last Nathaniel that you’ve brought to see Jesus?
John 1:29-47
