JOHN 15:111-4,16 Please read these critical verses , they very much emphasise that if we are to be used by God then we must remain, cling to, be in CHRIST,constantly on a every day basis, without exception. I wish to over these next few days highlight some critical factors when it comes to ongoing effectiveness/ leadership ,availability as the Lord Himself sees it.
1. Be secure in the your call , know that it is God who has called you- not man. Your responsibility is to be faithfully obedient to the calling of Jesus Christ. Proverbs 29:25
2. Keep sweet. Bitterness and cynacism will bring a spiritually cancerous ineffectiveness into your journey. In fact I believe unforgiveness and resentment will put a stanglhold on you present, future ministry . ROMANS 12:19, HEBREWS 12 :15.
3. Be strong & courageous. Joshua possessed the Promised land only after facing the obstacles which had to be overcome.(Joshua 1) Not every one surrounding you is a "VISIONARY ", many can only see the giant problems not the Holy Spirit possibilities. Don't let pessimistic, negative people rob you of the calling from Jesus upon your life.
4. Be a radical prayer warrior of the Lord , prayer must precede every decision that is made surrounding the present & future decisions of you life and the life of The Salvation Army.
For today I will finish with the Word of God : JOHN 15: 16 ''YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, BUT I CHOSE YOU AND APPOINTED YOU TO GO AND BEAR MUCH FRUIT ,FRUIT THAT WILL REMAIN. ....... THEN THE FATHER WILL GIVE YOU WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME."
Please note Jesus said ''GO'' & I (Jesus ) have chosen you . you .you ..you!!!!!!
Read on for further essential aspects to the Spirit of God's building programme, the question is do you want to be part of a GLOWING, GROWING, DYNAMIC ARMY ??????
All I can say is that is The Army I want to be part of !
