IN OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

IN OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: DON’T LEGISLATE THE SCRIPTURE – DON’T DO GOD – ONLY DO THE WORD OF GOD TO LIVE BLESS AND BLESSED!

“. . . 8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: BUT SPEAK THE WORD ONLY, and my servant shall be healed . . .” Matthew 8:5-13.

You are only God’s WITNESS and WITNESSES and not GOD. Hence you need to DO the WORD of RECONCILIATION and let God DO God. You are not to LEGISLATE your own rules outside God’s WORD on God’s WORD as if you ARE God. We are only in the world as God’s vessel of use in RECONCILING the world to God by God’s WORD and thereby endorsed to be His AMBASSADORS for Christ Jesus in God’s purpose and not ours for selfish and personal gains especially at the expense of others.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, RECONCILING the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED unto us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

I learnt early in grace, NEVER to DO God but to DO the WORD only – Matthew 8:8-9. It has saves me from foolishness, ignorance and stupidity. Many a time I see people wanting me to DO God for them in order to measure, ensure and LEGISLATE spirituality as a man of God and to authenticate that I am obeying the heavenly mandate. For me, as a matter of resolve, it’s not in and for me to DO God for any, knowingly and unknowingly. I learnt from Jesus, who in humanity, though God, did the WORD and though He’s the WORD – Matthew 8:1-13; He did the WORD as an example for us to learn of Him and in order to follow God’s CAUSE and PURPOSE for Him, while in His humanity – He live in OBEDIENT to the WILL and PURPOSE of God. Hebrews 5:7-9; 1 John 5:7; Philippians 2:1-11; 1 John 3:8; John 18:37; Acts 2:22; John 1:31-38.

I have seen many over time trying to LEGISLATE spirituality to others as a way of ensuring as if God, to make what they term “God Said”, “God told them” or “Prophecy from God” and such like, to come to pass by every means and measure – and they have to enforce it to make it happen so that they can ascertain it to be true of God’s doing.

THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT GOD DOES NOT ENFORCE HIS WILL ON PEOPLE BECAUSE HE SEEKS FOR A WILLING AND OBEDIENT HEARTS FROM PEOPLE TOWARD HIS WORD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

I have seen this pressure to DO God in the name of “prophecy”, “God said” and such like, play out in many secular and lay brethren, and Ministerial Minister’s in some quarters; and many have taken advantage of such to CONTROL and manipulate the will people, legislate God and make people do the unseemly outrageous things to authenticate their so called – ministerial mandate. And many have taken after such route in the name of God to make their term “PROPHECY” come to pass, which to me is more of a conspiracy that they have conceived and then deceived themselves in their making – and to deceive others – who are ignorantly following them with all the HYPE and APPLAUD and not after God’s WORD genuinely; and much more, for their ignorance, stupidity and foolishness, they will have to prove to themselves and OTHERS that God SAID or told them so – hence there’s that need for them to ensure it comes to pass for them, no matter who gets hurt and what therein or thereafter happens in consequence to such falsehoods that they acclaimed to have been of God.

I make bold to say that I am a WITNESS of Christ in God and not God. So I don’t DO God, but to be a WITNESS of what He has done in me in Christ Jesus, and He’s doing and will do through me in consequence of what Christ Jesus did in redemption. Anything elsewhere are man-made belief and religious by-laws, creeds and dogmas and won’t be welcome and tolerated for me or any – this is just a notice.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: AND YE SHALL BE WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

Therefore, STOP DOING GOD in the name of obeying the heavenly mandate upon your life. You are only called of God to WITNESS for Him in Christ Jesus stead and not to DO Him in order to LEGISLATE how spiritual you are and wants people to see you and respect you. Let GOD BE GOD, LET MEN BE MEN, it’s what I sincerely advice if you must live meaningfully and fulfilling in God’s divine PURPOSE and CAUSE in your doing LIFE and living godly before others in God’s name.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE” Romans 8:28.

“That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated ACCORDING TO THE PURPOSE of him who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:10-12.

Know for sure and true today, that God only honour and answers to our WILLINGNESS and OBEDIENCE to His WORD and not our ACTING up to PLAY ourselves and others to be Him or DO His role or person’s in order to LEGISLATE spirituality in our life and others. God only honour and confirm His WORD not man or the LEGISLATIVE man-made up belief of men.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land” Isaiah 1:19.

“So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and PREACHED every where, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:19-20.

You are EMPOWERED to be a WITNESS. Be therefore a WITNESS as John the Baptist as well as our Lord Jesus Christ, and then live whole unto God, while GOD do GOD for you in all matters of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. John 1:6-42; Acts 1:8. And when you have done the word, you then take a stand in His grace and await God to do His own in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 6:13; Romans 5:1-2.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“There was a MAN SENT from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, to bear WITNESS of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He WAS NOT that Light, but was sent to BEAR WITNESS of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 15 John bare WITNESS of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him . . .” John 1:6-42.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: AND YE SHALL BE WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they WENT FORTH, and PREACHED every where, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:19-20.

“Bless the Lord, ye his ANGELS, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, HEARKENING UNTO THE VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20 (Hebrews 1:7, 14).

“He sent his WORD, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” Psalms 107:20.

“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified” Acts 20:32.

“But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD” Acts 6:4.
