Every child of God should understand that his new birth was not just a sudden event. It was pre-destined, divinely orchestrated long before the appearance of such individual on earth. The occurrence was just a confirmation and an opening into the embodiment of divine thoughts and agenda that necessitated the formation of such man at first in a human form. New birth reveals the Lord’s will that the man in question whoever he may be in shape, tribe or colour is another sent one from God, a man born of God, not of the will of man nor born of blood nor of the flesh (John 1:13). There is an opening for the expression of everything that is written concerning such man in particular in the template of God’s heart substantiated in his word, the scriptures. No wonder, the second adam, the first man in the new order of creation of the sent ones, being guided by the Holy spirit could turn over to where it written of him and openly acknowledge the intent of God who sent him regarding his birth into the earth realm. There is something written of every man saved and born of God. No one is exclusive, if only we all care to know.
Every one of us was called with an holy calling but according to the Lord’s purpose and grace ( Reference: 2 Timothy 1:9). There is a purpose to which you are called and a measure of grace released for it but we are all called with the same holy calling as (kings and priests) after the order of Jesus. You are a king and priest at the same time, that’s one of the new creation realities. The measure of grace only differs based on the assignment given to each part of the body. The fact remains that every member of the body has an assignment. Apostle Paul saying in Romans 12:4,
” For as we have MANY members in one body, and all members have NOT the SAME OFFICE:”
God’s agenda goes beyond just getting men saved but it includes establishing his kingdom in full expression everywhere and in all ways. When Christ was ascending back to heaven, he commissioned his disciples to teach all nations (global agenda) to observe all he has commanded (that is, give expression and demonstrate His own glorious ways).
We are many members differing in functionality and graces but the same goal is to exalt Jesus and express his kingdom in every way you can imagine. You are Christ’s witness in any aspect where you are positioned, like a fragrance, spreading the savour of the Lord’s knowledge. You should desire to know through revelation the Lord’s mind preceeding your conception that made him to choose you. As you get to know, you need to follow after it till that which you are engraced for is accomplished. “Following after” requires a lot of things which will be shared in the coming episodes. Till then, have a great week ahead.
“Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before”
