This year i see much separations and misunderstandings, among the different parts of the body of Christ (family). I feel disappointment and sorrow as i acknowledge this occurrence in times like this.
The stirring of emotions in me, a mixture of joy and sadness with the unfinished work of Christ. The walls of unity is shaken and cracks formed from past hurt and regrets. Where is the foundation of truth and love that we constantly learn and hear from the book that contains the very breath of God?
I believe that i am sad and deeply crushed when i see ignorance, pride and dignity gets in the way of mending a relationship, because i have the Spirit in my heart. The Spirit in me grieves as it watches the vessels of God getting empty, the salt loosing its saltiness and the light slowly deeming.
If i am crying inside, i could only imagine how Christ feels when he has sacrificed so much and yet you are blinded from the very Grace and Hope given to live righteously. re-Open your spiritual ears and eyes so that you may be called faithful servants and followers of Christ not just on the last day but everyday.
If we desire spiritual greatness, then what we desire is the place of service to others, and so we must deliberately choose the lowliest and most humble place. This is the whole key to the Lord's life, for He came, not to be served, but to be a servant. He is the servant King. Our Christian greatness lies not in ourselves, but in the greatness of the one whom we represent.
If you want to be great, choose to live like Him. Your decisions now affects your ability to win a life for His kingdom. Because you are the salt of the world (people around you, your family and your friends) if the very thing design to bring savour to other things is itself savour-less, what way out is left?
Christian themselves, quarreling with one another. How can such be "Sons of peace"?????
Christian are to be the moral preservative of the world, they are TO SAVOUR LIFE, TO SEASON IT, and also TO STOP IT FROM BEING UTTERLY CORRUPT. You stumble, you are also causing others to stumble.
Don't say you don't care, "Each of you should look not only to your own interest, but also the interest of others" Philippians 2:4 YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS GENERATION OF SOULS.
oh yeah!, the true mission starts at home, from the people you know, the people you grew up with. Some times the Lord calls us to return to the place we came from because people knew you, your changes, lifestyle and character is the real testimony for Christ.
maybe you don't want to listen to a lecture right now, but i can't help to say what i felt. Is due to my disappointments. If you feel you have bitterness and sorrow, please find peace with God, please ask the spirit to speak louder in your hearts, because the spirit is there, but please allow it to work in you. And allow the spirit to transform you to produce spiritual fruits. Galatians 5: 22-23.
with love always,
Debbie
