Previously, I informed you that the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) within you, makes you one of the specially, specifically and uniquely CALLED of GOD in Christ in this World. Read write-up (3) of the series for more.
The Bible reveals that:
Even the MYSTERY (spiritual secret) which has been from AGES and from GENERATIONS, but now is made manifest to His Saints:
To whom GOD would make known what is the RICHES of the GLORY of this MYSTERY (spiritual secret) among the GENTILES (those who are not naturally from any of the tribes of Israel in this World); which is CHRIST IN YOU, the HOPE of GLORY (on Earth now and in Heaven someday). (Colossians 1:26,27; 2 Corinthians 4:1-7).
For today, I will be informing you that the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT), who came into you on your genuine salvation moment, spiritually and physically made you one of the specially, specifically and uniquely CHOSEN of GOD in Christ in this World.
When God CHOOSES anyone, He puts His HOLY SPIRIT (spiritual CHRIST) in him or her. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
Behold My Servant, whom I have CHOSEN. My beloved, in whom My Soul is well pleased. I will PUT MY SPIRIT upon Him and He shall show judgment to the Gentiles. (Matthew 12:18; 1 Peter 1:9-12).
But, the Bible reveals that:
For MANY are CALLED, but FEW are CHOSEN.
(Matthew 22:14).
Now note, it is the sole right of GOD to CHOOSE anyone. Nobody CHOOSES himself or herself from the World to God's Kingdom through Christ, but GOD alone.
The Bible reveals thus:
You have not CHOSEN Me, but I have CHOSEN you and ORDAINED you, that you should go and bring forth fruit and that your fruit should remain. That whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My Name, He may give it you. (John 15:16).
That is why person like Apostle Paul who was not qualified by human standards, perspectives and ratings was CHOSEN by GOD against all odds and views and He became one of the greatest Apostles of Christ, if not the greatest.
The Bible reveals thus:
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, behold, I am here Lord.
And the Lord said unto him, arise and go into the street which is called Straight and enquire in the house of Judas for one called SAUL of Tarsus. For behold he prays.
And has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have HEARD by MANY of this MAN, how much EVIL he has done to your Saints at Jerusalem.
And here he has authority from the chief priest to bind all that call on your name.
But the Lord said unto him, go your way. For he is a CHOSEN VESSEL UNTO ME, to bear My Name before the Gentiles (those not naturally from any of the tribes of Israel) and kings and the children of Israel.
For I will show him how great things he must suffer for My Name's sake. (Acts 9:10-16).
So,
1. You and I were not CHOSEN because we are good and better (pure) persons than others, but because of His (God's) LOVE, MERCY and GRACE in Christ.
The Bible reveals thus:
For you see your calling, brethren (brothers and sisters in the Lord), how that not MANY wise men (and women) after the flesh, not MANY mighty, not MANY noble are called:
But GOD has CHOSEN the FOOLISH things of the World to confound the wise. And GOD has CHOSEN the WEAK things of the World to confound the things which are mighty.
And BASE things of the World and things which are DESPISED, has GOD CHOSEN, yes, things which are not, to bring to NOUGHT things that are.
That no flesh (human) should glory (boast) in His presence. (1 Corinthians 1:26-29).
So, for you and I to have been CHOSEN by GOD in Christ in this World, we must have been seen by GOD to be 1.Foolish 2 . Weak 3. Base (low) and 4. Despised in this World. True, even if you and I do not seem to see it so! The Bible says so and it is the absolute truth and nothing but the truth.
2. You and I were not SAVED because we are good and better (pure) persons, but because of His (God's) LOVE, MERCY and GRACE in Christ.
The Bible reveals thus:
And you has He quickened, who were DEAD in TRESPASSES and SINS.
Wherein in time pass you WALKED according to the COURSE of this WORLD, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the CHILDREN of DISOBEDIENCE.
Among whom also we ALL had our conversation (lifestyle) in times past in the LUSTS of our FLESH, fulfilling the DESIRES of the FLESH and of the MIND And were by nature the CHILDREN of WRATH, even as others.
But GOD, who is RICH in MERCY, for His GREAT LOVE wherewith He loved us,
Even when we were DEAD in SINS, has quickened us together with Christ, (by GRACE you are SAVED)
And has raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding RICHES of His GRACE in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
For by GRACE are you SAVED through FAITH. And that not of yourselves. It is the GIFT of GOD.
Not of works, lest any man (or woman) should boast.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto GOOD WORKS, which GOD has before ORDAINED that we should WALK in them. (Ephesians 2:1-10).
Verse ten (10) of the above scripture reveals that you and I were CHOSEN for an ordained GOOD WORKS of GOD in Christ in this World, which we expected to WALK in them. This means that you and I are LABOURERS in the Vineyard (World) of GOD by our being CHOSEN from the World by GOD in Christ in this World. Yes, we are!
This, many genuine CHILDREN of GOD in Christ in this World are not aware or conscious of. They are:
1. Not thinking as CHOSEN LABOURERS of GOD in Christ in this World. So sad!
2. Not speaking as CHOSEN LABOURERS of GOD in Christ in this World. So sad!
3. Not living as CHOSEN LABOURERS of GOD in Christ in this World. So sad!
JESUS CHRIST explain you and I being CHOSEN as divine LABOURERS in the Vineyard (World) of God this way with a parable:
For the Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to HIRE LABOURERS into his vineyard.
And when he had agreed with the LABOURERS for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing IDLE in the marketplace.
And said unto them, go you also into the vineyard and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour and did likewise.
And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing IDLE and says unto them, why stand you here all day IDLE?
They say unto him, because no man has HIRED us. He says unto them, go you also into the vineyard. And whatsoever is right, that shall you receive.
So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard says unto his steward, call the LABOURERS and give them their HIRE (wages), beginning from the last unto the first.
And when they came that were HIRED about the eleventh hour, they received EVERY man a penny.
But when the FIRST came, they supposed that they should have received more and they likewise received EVERY man a penny.
And when they had received it, they MURMURED against the Goodman of the house.
Saying, these last have wrought but one hour and you have made them EQUAL unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
But he answered one of them and said, friend, I do thee no wrong. Did not you agree with me for a penny?
Take that thine is and go your way. I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
It is not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
So the LAST shall be FIRST and the FIRST LAST. For MANY be CALLED, but FEW CHOSEN. (Matthew 20:1-16; Matthew 13:24-30,36-46; John 15; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15).
You being CHOSEN by GOD in Christ in this World must not be taken for granted. You must make good use of being CHOSEN by GOD in Christ in this World, if not you will not be counted among the very last FEW, who will be approved and accepted by GOD at last. God forbids!
You have to urgently:
1. DISCOVER and TAKE HEED to your specific and unique LABOUR (good work) of God in Christ in this World, for which you are specially, specifically and uniquely CHOSEN (saved) by God in Christ from the World to do ffor GOD in Christ in this World. (Colossians 4:17; Galatians 6:7-9; Ephesians 2:1-10).
2. DELIVER and FINISH your specific and unique LABOUR (good work) of God in Christ in this World, for which you are specially, specifically and uniquely CHOSEN (saved) by God in Christ from the World to do for GOD in Christ in this World. (John 4:33,34; John 9:4,5; John 17:1-5; Philippians 3:13,14; 2 Timothy 4:5-8; Ephesians 2:1-10).
If you do, you are living ADVANTAGEOUSLY by the spiritual CHRIST within you in this World. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
This is because:
1. Our spiritual BLESSINGS in Christ in the heavenly places that become physical BLESSINGS in the earthly places where we are, is given to you and I according to how GOD has specially, specifically and uniquely CHOSEN (saved) us individually in Christ from the World.
Read: Ephesians 1:3,4
2. Our LABOUR with GOD in Christ in this World is not VAIN. There are both divine REWARDS now on Earth and in Heaven someday. Halleluyah!
Read: 1 Corinthians 15:58; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Luke 18:18-30; Galatians 6:7-9).
You are not CHOSEN (saved) by GOD in Christ from the World, just to make Heaven, but because there is a special, specific and unique LABOUR (good work) ordained by GOD in Christ for you in this World to do for Him to the benefit of humanity for His glory. (Ephesians 2:10; 1 Peter 2:9,10; Matthew 5:13-16).
Do you know it? Are you doing?
Think about it because time is running out? (Ephesians 5:15-18).
Finally, note the Bible reveals that:
...No man (or woman) that wars entangles (occupies) himself (or herself) with the AFFAIRS of this LIFE. That he (or she) may PLEASE Him (God) who has CHOSEN him (or her) to be a soldier... (2 Timothy 2:1-7; 1 John 2:15-17).
Who are you PLEASING in this LIFE? Yourself, others, Satan or GOD?
Again, think about it!
God bless you.
