Anytime God steps in, the word too late gets out of the equation.
Romans 1:1-5, Acts 26:16-18
Visibility is everyone’s heritage in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 5:13-16 (AMP)
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste (purpose), how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people [when the walkways are wet and slippery)…”
Salt – To add taste and to preserve.
The purpose of a Believer is to reveal and glorify Jesus.
Value is measured in the realm of the spirit, with respect to the revelation and glorification of Christ Jesus.
The Believer’s principal assignment should be to ensure Jesus is revealed and glorified. This should be at the very core of all that we have and everything that we are.
Ministry is beyond the religiosity of activities.
Ministry is everything you do, inspired by your love for Jesus and love for people, for the purpose of revealing and glorifying Jesus.
Ministry is defined by two biblical indices:
1. Your love for Jesus and your love for people.
2. Your desire and motive to see Jesus revealed and glorified
Believers are classified into 2 Folds:
1. According to our spiritual identity. Our identity (Joined heir with Christ, Sons of God, Co-Heir with God)
2. According to our function and assignment. Witnesses, ambassadors, battle axes.
2. According to our function and assignment. Witnesses, ambassadors, battle axes.
We fly by instruction.
God is Alpha and Omega. He doesn’t start and leave it there, he starts and finishes.
