Yesterday, I informed you that a SAINT (someone who have consciously and genuinely believed and received the Salvation of Jesus Christ in this World) is a believing SINNER, if he or she is not yet LIVING BY CHRIST in this World. That is, he or she is ignorantly sinning against GOD unknowingly. True! Take note, take heed!
Today, as I promised in that post, I will be informing that likewise, a SAINT is a believing SINNER, if he or she is not yet LIVING FOR CHRIST in this World. That is, he or she is ignorantly sinning against GOD unknowingly. True! Take note, take heed!
Now, what does it means to be LIVING FOR CHRIST in this World?
It means WORKING with GOD the way Jesus Christ worked with Him when He was physically on the Earth. This is because the Bible reveals that as HE (Jesus Christ) is, so are WE in this World. True! (1 John 4:17).
In other words,
1. It means as a LIVING SACRIFICE of Christ who is currently and physically living in this World, to consciously, humbly and consistently submit your TIME (priorities, plans, programs, etc) to allow the Holy Spirit of CHRIST that is within you USE IT (time) through you based on the specific Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World. True! Therefore, know and note that if you are NOT allowing Him, you are a believing SINNER who is ignorantly sinning against God unknowingly. True! Take note, take heed and REPENT now and LEARN the art of thinking by Christ. (Ephesians 5:5-18; Romans 8:14).
2. It means as a LIVING SACRIFICE of Christ who is currently and physically living in this World, to consciously, humbly and consistently submit your TALENTS (gifts, abilities, skills, professions, vocations, businesses, etc) to allow the Holy Spirit of CHRIST that is within you USE IT (talent) through you based on the specific Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World. True! Therefore, know and note that if you are NOT allowing Him, you are a believing SINNER who is ignorantly sinning against God unknowingly. True! Take note, take heed and REPENT now and LEARN the art of thinking by Christ. (Matthew 25:14-30; 1 Corinthians 12; Romans 12).
3. It means as a LIVING SACRIFICE of Christ who is currently and physically living in this World, to consciously, humbly and consistently submit your TREASURES (finances, possessions, positions, popularity, etc) to allow the Holy Spirit of CHRIST that is within you USE IT (treasure) through you based on the specific Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World. True! Therefore, know and note that if you are NOT allowing Him, you are a believing SINNER who is ignorantly sinning against God unknowingly. True! Take note, take heed and REPENT now and LEARN the art of thinking by Christ. (Matthew 6:19-21, Matthew 25:31-46; Luke 18:18-30).
True REPENTANCE in Christ is total (100%) SURRENDER to GOD in all things. True! Take note, take heed! (Colossians 3:16,17).
Apostle Paul revealed to us that we are LABOURERS together with GOD in Christ in this World. True! (1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Matthew 20:1-16; Matthew 9:35-38).
It is unfortunate that many genuine Christians have NOT come to the knowledge and consciousness of this truth that we are LABOURERS together with GOD in Christ in this side of life. So sad, so bad!
Now, good to know and note is that there is a huge difference between WORKING with GOD driven by PASSION and WORKING with GOD driven by PURPOSE. True!
So then, what is the difference?
Yes, there is a difference, because WORKING with GOD driven by PASSION means you can be working with God in Christ in any WORK you desire to do in this World par time. But WORKING with GOD driven by PURPOSE means you cannot be working with God in Christ in any WORK you desire to do in this World par time, but you MUST be working with God in Christ based on the specific and unique WORK He has originally and purposefully ORDAINED, GIFTED and GRACED you in Christ to do for Him in this World. True! The latter is how JESUS CHRIST operated. Jesus Christ never went outside what God specifically, uniquely and purposefully SENT Him to this World to DO and the Bible reveals to us that as He (Jesus Christ) is, so are we in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (John 4:31-34; Ephesians 2:8-10, 1 John 4:17).
And because Jesus Christ and Apostle Paul were very clear about their individual PURPOSES from God the Father, they WORKED with Him driven by clear PURPOSE and were able to confidently say at the END of their individual race on Earth that they have FINISHED their individual course (work) that God the Father has sent them here to do. Likewise, each of us in Christ MUST be very clear about our individual PURPOSES from God the Father and WORK purposefully with Him in Christ in this World to FULFIL and FINISH it. True! Take note, take heed! (Luke 4:14-21; John 17:1-5; Philippians 3:13,14; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).
That is why Apostle Paul sent a timely message to Archippus (as I am sent to you today) to take heed to the MINISTRY which he (you) had RECEIVED in the Lord, that he (you) FULFIL it. (Colossians 4:17).
Everyone in Christ has in one way or the other purposefully received a MINISTRY (work) from God the Father to do for Him in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
Do you clearly KNOW your own?
Are you purposefully FULFILLING your own?
Do you look forward to FINISHING your own?
Think about it now and do something about it urgently, if you are not, because there LIES your earthly and eternal REWARDS from the Lord. True! Take note, take heed! (Luke 18:28-30; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15).
Many genuine Christians are unnecessarily SUFFERING and LACKING today because they are not purposefully doing what God the Father has originally gifted, graced and called them in Christ to do for Him in this World. True! So sad, so bad! Take note, take heed! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
God bless you.
