Kingdom Greetings to you Men and Women of God …. It is an awesome time that has come to this body of believers. There is so much to see and know and encounter and endure all for the glorious cause of Christ. So much has change and yet the remnants of familiarity ring ever true as we ascend to this next dimension in the Kingdom.
So much of it we have prepared for, labored for cried out to acquire and remained yielded to obtain; only to stand on the brink of embracing all that God has to find ourselves in the grips of a Saul situation. What do you mean you may ask and what new thing might this be. I would like to say one of several things firstly of which the spirit of God would have me express and to bring to bear how it is not really new at all; it has been like the expressed will of God meant for the lives of His people; been present all the time.
The bible declares it as such:
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. Revelations 2:2-5
Saul who was asked for by the people of God for the occasion of being like everyone else, ascended into greatness and was for a season the anointed of God. Yet his arrogance and inability to adhere to the directives of God cause Him not just to loose his place but forfeit the Kingdom. Instead of him humbling himself and praying and then seeking the face of God turning from that which was evil; he decided to offer unto the Lord a sacrifice; which wasn’t in and of itself bad; it just was not his purpose or assignment. Later would seek the counsel of a which and seek to destroy the chosen of God all because he forgot not just his first love but his first work, and yet again Israel we find ourselves in the grip of disobedience.
How so?
By not honoring our first work!
By not seeking first the Kingdom and its righteousness that “all†things may bee added unto us. Yes the ministry will expand, and yes you will be called to greater exploits; however, lets accomplish for God what He called us to do first instead of fumbling through what is a good idea; but not necessarily a God idea. It gives the Lord great pleasure to add to you and to see you do more for the word of God through Him while wrapped in flesh was that “greater works than these shall ye also do†yet lest be reminded of what He called us first to do.
I have heard enough about Jezebel and Ahab to last no merely my lifetime but the next 3 generations; however it is the presence of Saul in the church that will in this year of new beginning catch us by surprise ….. Many are called yes! And even more are chosen indeed! However their heart has merely been fixated and fascinated and has yet to even change. Transformation again was inspired to be written in the word of God by the Apostle Paul when He said “be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is the good and perfect and acceptable will of God. Isn’t that amazing that we are changed only to prove what is good and acceptable! The same writer says later that it is just our reasonable act of worship to present our bodies a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God. So if the best that we are commanded to do is merely acceptable then therein lays a greater requirement to pursue the face of God and not His hand.
I can not speak for many of the worlds renouned men and women of God, yet what I can say is this; the spirit of God within me is excited about what is to come but apprehensive as Solomon was when he realized he had not taught his son who God was and what his relationship with Him ought be. How he realized he had come to the conclusion of his life and it was now time to leave all that God has blessed his father with; that had now been multiplied several times over; and his fear was not only that he did not teach him how to effectively manage it; but had not because of being led away expressed the source. Yes some had been gained from times of war; but it was God who had given them the victory. Yes some had been gained by way of his neighbors, but he didn’t say that it was because of who God was and not because of who he is that those things were given.
There is so much the Lord wants to say; so many miracles He desires to deliver unto His people and yet we speak so loudly in our prayers we don’t have time to hear Him. We become so orchestrated in our praise we don’t take time to feel Him. We become so choreographed in our worship that we have yet to capture his attention. Let us not forget our lowly estate and present condition and not to forgo or forget His first commission.
Saul was asked for; yet his inability to do what was required of him causes him to not only loose the battle but the war. Where have we come to in this body where you have the men and women of God wanting to kill those they have raised up to conqueror this Kingdom and build on the foundations they have laid? where have we come to in this body where the same word you put in us, the same prayers you labored before us as it related to the call of God within us; is it now appropriate to have thoughts of pinning us to the wall; because your destiny now rest within us; because your seed as commanded by the Lord is to remain. It’s not our will or even our desire; it’s merely Gods choice.
It is more than enough to walk out fully the plans and purposes that God has set before you. He said it plainly before it even started; I know the thoughts I think towards you; they are of good and not of evil to bring you to your good and expected end. There is no need to forgo your process or attempt to circumvent your assignment. Regardless of how or when it is done, Gods will; will be done in the earth as it has been predestined and ordained with your entrance into time from eternity. Saul in his disobedience forfeited not only his purpose, but cause his seed to come to not. Saul in his disobedience became frustrated and sought to kill and destroy that which God choose to bless. In our innate power and limited ability we ought hold fast with fortitude unto the profession of our faith without wavering. It does not matter how quickly you accomplish those things that God has set before you; but it is important that it be done decently and in order, in His will, laying aside the weight (wait) and the sin that would beset you, even if it shall tarry (be delayed but not denied) wait for it; for it will surely come.
Though we have been placed in the body as it pleaseth Him there was a cry from that body and thus you were produced to fulfill His will, need and purpose in the earth. Don’t become distracted, disgruntled, confused or impatient. Your assignment is yours alone; there will be those who come alongside in order that all things be accomplished, that there be provision and no lack or need. Be sure and remember this simple thing He honors your obedience in your sacrifice as you fulfill His need.
I don’t want there to be any confusion as I conclude what God has given. He doesn’t need us it is just an honor to have been chosen.
Before anything I am His servant; Sent 2 Serve . . .
On my way to the Wealthy Place, With Kingdom hope and God given dreams …
To be continued !
