PASTORAL SHEPHERDING IN BLESSEDNESS

PASTORAL SHEPHERDING IN BLESSEDNESS: GOD NEEDS YOUR AVAILABILITY NOT YOUR ABILITY!

“Brothers and sisters, together FOLLOW my example and OBSERVE those who live by the pattern we gave you. 18 For there ARE many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears, who LIVE as ENEMIES of the cross of Christ [rejecting and opposing His way of salvation], 19 whose fate is destruction, whose god is their BELLY [their worldly APPETITE, their SENSUALITY, their VANITY], and whose glory is in their shame—who focus their mind on EARTHLY and TEMPORAL things” Philippians 3:17-19/Amplified.

Be the SHEPHERD of the SHEEP by the WORD, not a hireling; and stay on your PLACE OF CALLING if you wants to live FULFILLED and not as a NOISE MAKER and SELF SEEKING individual, whose MINISTRY is more of the BELLY and to lure others away in the name of God,

God seeks for VESSELS to use and not ORNAMENTS for museum, in order to fulfill and accomplish His REDEMPTION kingdom cause – plan, purpose and pursuit – on the earth, to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. Therefore, dear PASTOR – please STOP all the NOISE and be at the DUTY Post, for God seek your AVAILABILITY for His Kingdom causes and not your ABILITY, in order to use you to fulfill His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus –  THAT’S ALL THAT’S NEEDED ALL THE WAY IN THE NOW.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this seal, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and SOME TO HONOUR, AND SOME TO DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL UNTO HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET [QUALIFIED] for the master’s use, and PREPARED unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21/Emphasis Mine.

Your AVAILABILITY and not your ABILITY is all that God needs from you to help create and initiate the atmosphere He earnestly intend to happen through you and as He long to see you make the DIFFERENCE in HUMANITY. Therefore, it’s time to make yourself AVAILABLE for God’s SUFFICIENCY to make you BECOME in Him, just as Apostle Paul earnestly labour and craved daily for the good of the Sheep – the Churches of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Not that we are SUFFICIENT of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our SUFFICIENCY is of God; 6 who also hath MADE US ABLE MINISTERS of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” 2 Corinthians 3:5-6.

“Beside those things that are WITHOUT, that which COMETH upon me DAILY, the CARE of all the churches” 2 Corinthians 11:28

Therefore stop all the NOISE of what you can do that have not taken you any higher than that CIRCUS and CIRCLE you’ve been wandering and wondering around on, all these time. God is not a magician and He does no magic though He does MIRACLE – and for God, MIRACLES are the consequence of His WORD. Therefore, just REPORT at your DUTY post of CALLING, it’s your AVAILABILITY not your ABILITY that God is interested in, to make things HAPPEN for you today and tomorrow and for the good of all; otherwise you will become a MAGICIAN trying to get THINGS to happen or done by any and every means in the name of God. PLEASE DON’T and PLEASE STOP – and stay only on your DUTY POST.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED TO THE MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

Be the SHEPHERD of the SHEEP by the WORD, not a hireling; and stay on your PLACE OF CALLING if you wants to live FULFILLED and not as a NOISE MAKER; but as a Pastoral Shepherd, to feed God’s sheep with knowledge and understanding of His will, and their rights and privileges as a done work for them in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS [SHEPHERD] according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

Can YOU make the YOU available today to God in fulfilling His PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT?

I pray that our God gives you the enabling grace, wisdom and speed in everyway in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead to do life and live godly in Him. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
