There maybe times in your life the Lord will call you to a good work of service.  The provision may be in some small way to bring relief or comfort to others in the household of faith. We are always to do good especially to those in the family of God when possible.  Many of the most appreciated things most people remember are received in small acts of kindness and love. These acts may seem small to you but ministered at the appropriate time are multiplied in great appreciation to those who receive your gift.  Regrettably in the family of the Lord we often encounter individuals who are used by our enemies to cause us cease from our service to the saints without any real cause.  Always remember your service in these small deeds are not to a church group or leader its to the building up and maintaining the welfare of the body of Christ. Continue to do good in all things which the Lord places on your heart to do towards all people so that you will be known as a good and faithful servant by the Lord and the saints. 

It is the will of God the Father, Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit that no person would be lost and suffer from the second death. Not many people who we consider great in this world were called out of the world into Christ Jesus for the purpose of the Gospel. In Its Place, those of simple lifestyles and from common households and those of economic poverty were selected to become ambassadors of Christ.  The heart of Jesus is especially tender towards those who the world considers castaway people of little to no worth.  They who are of the world do not know how precious and valuable you really are in the beloved. So precious he gave his life for you. You are called to walk with him so that in your littleness he can become great in your life, and you will become a perfect reflection of his body in all things. 

The Character and conduct of a Christian should continue to develop and become more like the character and conduct of Christ Jesus. We are to treat everyone who is in the faith as we would loving family members caring for them and their needs as the situation dictates. As we grow in Christ and in maturity, we will become more and more like minded concerning the things of the faith because of our individual revelations and walk with the lord. Like mindedness is not total agreement on everything but full agreement in intention and outcome with the Lord in the lead place in all things concerning us.  Remember we only see in part, and he sees the whole matter clearly.  

Think it not strange that when you are given a work to complete in your life that is directly in alignment to the will of God concerning you that opposition occurs. Your enemies often have a greater understanding of your potential and the affect you will have than you are often aware of.  They are not aware of your full mission but are aware your partnership with the Lord will cause destruction and waste to the kingdom of darkness.  To hinder and derail your progress and path is to prevent you from achieving what ever the Lord has planed in your life.  Your enemies come to Kill, Steal and Destroy and you are called to Heal, Provide and Rebuild. 

It is foretold to those in the household of Israel the destruction and desolation that would come to the land of those who departed from the Judah.  Also, God the Father was to provide a sign and a solution for the evil times and situations to come. One of the names of our Lord Jesus is Immanuel which mean God with us. There is a consequence for those who depart from their place in God. This place is not a church membership, position, title, or denomination. This is the place the individual departed that is reserved for them in the heart of God through Christ Jesus. Your place in God through Christ is discovered and developed in your personal relationship with Jesus. You are the Church he declared he would build and died for, not a physical building or organization. Return to your first love and build your relationship and discover he has been waiting for you all this time you were gone to restore you back to your place in God. 

All things prophesied concerning what was required to happen in the scriptures have been fulfilled concerning the coming of our Lord and Savior. We are at the final stages and season of his coming. The saints were given the season of his coming not the day or hour. Many trustworthy Christian have prophesied and sounded the alarm for us to be ready and prepared.  They were not in error as many have clamed them to be. The will of the Father and the Prayers of the Saints has provided by the Father grace, mercy, and a little more time to prepare.  Many of the saints were not ready having little to no oil in their lamps for the coming of the Bride Groom. This is a time of personal preparation, rededication, and new commitment to Christ alone.  Horrors which have never been known will come to those not prepared for Death.  Great terrors will be unleashed on the Earth during the second portion of the tribulation a factual hell on Earth.  The time and season of Noah has come. 

We are in the world which gives and shows preference to people based on its values. The values of the world are not the values of Christ Jesus.  He is not a respecter of people, one who shows preference based on outward things.  We serve a God who knows the heart of every man and woman he created.  If you are committed to become like him (Jesus Christ), you must embrace his values and standards of conduct. In Christ Jesus there is no preference based on Gender, no favoritism based on Race, no bias based on economical wealth. No preference based on nationality. No bias based on the sinful condition of a person because all have fallen in sin and need grace and mercy. His love in us moves us past these world standards to see the person not the condition. If you believe and embrace this fact let your faith in this truth, be displayed in your life from this day forward and watch your life and walk with Christ change with velocity. 

We who are in the household of faith are all a part of a Royal priesthood. It is Christ who calls us into salvation by his name. It is Christ Jesus who appoints us to our place and service in the body of Christ. It is the Holy Spirit who confirms and equips us to function in the role we have been assigned in the body of Christ not man. As you seek out your purpose in Christ you will also be looking for what role he has placed you in the body. No placement in the body is more honorable than another. Various placements are valued more than others by some religious people, but a body not fit together correctly by the Lord is dysfunctional and will not be able to complete its mission or mandate. Find out what role you have been assigned and learn to function in that calling/assignment.  This will be a place of joy and contentment as you are refined and matured. Do not let people and their agendas move you out of the place the Holy Spirit anointed you for.  If you allow this wrongful assignment, you will not fulfill your destiny. You will not be fully comfortable carrying a mantel you were not designed and equipped to carry. Each Mantel/Calling/Ministry of service has its own weight and responsibility. 

We all have obligations in this life to complete those things we were destined to do in the physical and in the spiritual. It is our decision if we will rise and take on the challenges of becoming with the Lord’s help the man or woman we were designed to be. It is our decision to accomplish those things that will elevate the Kingdom of God and bring us and our Lord and King much joy.  We are to prepare ourselves daily for his arrival and we are to be ready to give an account of our stewardship, for wise Christians are primed and prosperous in the things assigned to them by the lord to accomplish in this life. 

You are called into relationship with Christ Jesus not into religious doctrines and laws. God the Father gave us 10 commandments to follow, and Jesus the Son gave us 1 commandment that covered and explained how to accomplish the other 9 of the Fathers 10 commandments. You will be successful in fulfilling all of these by entering in relationship with Christ Jesus and walking in the Holy Ghost.  You may be able to produce these fruits by the law, but they will be without the Holy Spirits full influence and the fruit will not be overly sweet. Abundant life is not manifested under the law but exhibited through faith and liberty in Jesus Christ.
