You and I are called to make history and we are meant to walk out our callings thus fulfilling our parts of the Body of Christ. Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable to GOD, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of GOD.
There is such pressure originating with the enemy to be conformed to the world and its motives. The primary forces are fear and greed. We are in the midst of the fear cycle as I write this morning. Is any virus greater than FATHER’S healing power? Did Jesus heal everyone except those with a virus? Then, what is the issue?
I believe the primary issue in its most subtle form is “self-centeredness”. It is in direct opposition to Agape Love. The selfish person always begins his or her thought process with “What’s in it for me?” whereas the one who walks in Agape Love begins with “What can I do to help?” The selfish person is motivated by fear of scarcity and the Loving person is motivated by faith and trust in FATHER to provide the resources required to walk in righteousness and Holiness.
The Holy Spirit continues through His faithful servant Paul:
3 God has given me grace to speak a warning about pride. I would ask each of you to be emptied of self-promotion and not create a false image of your importance. Instead, honestly assess your worth by using your God-given faith as the standard of measurement, and then you will see your true value with an appropriate self-esteem.
4 In the human body there are many parts and organs, each with a unique function. 5 And so it is in the body of Christ. For though we are many, we’ve all been mingled into one body in Christ. This means that we are all vitally joined to one another, with each contributing to the others.
6 God’s marvelous grace imparts to each one of us varying gifts and ministries that are uniquely ours. So if God has given you the grace-gift of prophecy, you must activate your gift by using the proportion of faith you have to prophesy. 7 If your grace-gift is serving, then thrive in serving others well. If you have the grace-gift of teaching, then be actively teaching and training others. 8 If you have the grace-gift of encouragement, then use it often to encourage others. If you have the grace-gift of giving to meet the needs of others, then may you prosper in your generosity without any fanfare. If you have the gift of leadership, be passionate about your leadership. And if you have the gift of showing compassion, then flourish in your cheerful display of compassion.
Each of us has an important gift meant to build up the Body of Christ and minister life to those around us who are headed toward death and destruction. This applies to the community we live in. As the Kingdom of GOD is expanded, the community will flourish with life and lawfulness. Blessings will come forth and the community will reflect life.
Every commandment of FATHER is meant to lead, guide, and/or correct. They are all meant to promote and sustain life. Agape Love is the encapsulation of all the other commandments and this is why Servias consistently focuses on this particular commandment. Jesus did thus I do… and so should you.
Walking in this commandment requires a daily assessment. This is one aspect of renewing our minds and we should constantly be making adjustments when The Holy Spirit convicts us of even the most minor thought, act, or word which did not promote life.
We must be sensitive to The Holy Spirit in order to come to full maturity as a Son or Daughter. Never lose this focus else you are headed to lukewarmness. Maintaining this sensitivity will assure you of fulfilling your calling.
