IN OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: DON’T DO GOD – ONLY DO THE WORD TO LIVE 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 and let God DO God. We are in the world as God’s WORD reconciliation vessel and are endorsed to be His ambassadors in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

I learned early in grace, NEVER to DO God but to DO the WORD. It has saved 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, Not me to DO God for any, knowingly and unknowingly. I learned from Jesus, who in humanity, though God, did the WORD and though He’s the WORD, in order to follow God’s CAUSE and PURPOSE for Him, in His humanity, in order to be obedient to the will 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 much overtime trying to LEGISLATE spirituality in helping to make what they term “God Said”, “God told them” or “Prophecy from God” and such like, to come to pass by every measure, and they have to enforce it to make it happen. I have seen it play out in many secular and lay brethren, and Ministerial Ministers in some quarters; and many have taken advantage of such to control people and make people do 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 of and with to deceive others who are ignorantly following them; and they will have to prove to themselves and OTHERS that God SAID or told them so; and there’s the need 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 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 is man-made belief and religious by-laws, creeds, and dogmas.

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 want 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. Romans 8:28.

Know for sure and true today, that God only honors and answers to our WILLINGNESS and OBEDIENCE to His WORD and not our ACTING up to PLAY to be Him or DO His role or persons, in order to LEGISLATE spirituality in our lives and others. God only honors and confirms His WORD, not a man or the LEGISLATIVE man-made-up belief of men. Isaiah 1:19.

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. 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” John 1:6-14.

“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 everywhere, 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).
