CHANNEL YOUR CALLING INTO ACTION

Today I encourage you to read JOHN 6:60-69. When you read these words of Jesus about His terms of Discipleship there is a sense in which I at least am reminded again that being 100% obedient to the call of Jesus will not occur in the lives that purely proclaim ''RELIGION''. Actually I do not use that word , because to many including myself I am not merely religious , rather I am a person who is in a holy love affair with the Saviour of the world, JESUS!!! I who had no way of saving myself have been 'saved' by the blood of Jesus, my life is 'blood -bought', Holy Spirit empowered and I am nothing more than a humble servant of the King of kings & Lord of Lords! Verse 60 of John 6 says that when many heard Jesus' call it became offensive and unbearable for them to hear. The amplified version says :"WHO CAN BE EXPECTED TO LISTEN TO SUCH TEACHING?"And dear ones today many are still offended by the calling of Jesus , in my role I see many walking away sorrowful because they choose to not have the courage of their convictions , or they just prefer to stay in the dull twilight of bland religion, which to my mind is unbearable . In fact I cannot cope with a Christianity that is limp, lame and not within a whispering distance of Jesus. Read John 6 :63 "It is the Spirit that gives life , He is the Life -giver; the flesh conveys no benefit whatsoever. There is NO profit in it........(wow)! Jesus goes onto say:'' the Words I speak to you are Spirit and Life." I read that then I read verse 66 (interesting numeric connected with this verse). Dear friends Jesus is calling you today to give up your SMALL AMBITIONS & COME, CHANGE THE WORLD!!!!!!! PLEASE DO IT FOR JESUS, HE WILL NOT ABANDON YOU , NOT NOW NOT EVER! Don't be numbered amongst those who return to their (boring) old associations and no longer kept company with Jesus. " Get out of any religious ruts you maybe loitering in and dive into the fullness of God's grace, Jesus' call and , CHANGE THE WORLD!
