Draw not nigh hither

Exo 3:5: "And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground."

We must grasp the truth that we are all unfit to stand as priests before the presence of the Holy God to minister to Him and His people, except through the blood of Jesus, which alone has redeemed and qualified us. We must not forget that Jesus Christ is the sole reason we are fit to draw near to God and serve Him. We must acknowledge this truth and remain humble, never becoming proud of the great works God is doing through us. 

No one is indispensable to God – He can make anyone irrelevant if He detects arrogance and resistance in His pursuit of His kingdom agenda. God rejects the proud and chooses others whom He deems more suitable. We must remember that we are not the only ones God can use. If we become inflexible, God can call upon others to serve Him.

When someone is called into God's service, He will perfect, purify, and refine them. Our willingness to be prepared by God will determine how effectively He can use us. A person's influence as a leader in ministry is a result of their submission to God's influence in their life. The more a person allows God to work in them, the more God will open doors of ministry for them.

The effectiveness and fruitfulness of a person's ministry before God depend on their daily submission to God, seeking Him through prayer, reading the scriptures to hear what He is saying, and obeying His instructions. A person who is ignorant of God's will or finds it difficult to obey His instructions will not be relevant to the work that God is doing. God will deny them His presence, power, and glory in whatever they are doing for Him.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
