It
is expedient that believers hear and respond affirmatively to the
voice of God. Jesus declared in John 10:27, “My sheep hear my
voice, and I know them, and they follow me:” God has not concluded
the revelation of His TRUTH. He is still speaking to submissive
hearts and open minds. There is much that He desires to reveal to the
Body of Christ, the Church of Christ. We need desperately to
experience His revelation in us and through us. How does He want to
implement His will in the Body and through the individual members?
His plan in us will always have the greater good of the Body in
focus. When we, the Body, actively seek and follow His directions,
Christ is exalted, His work in the Body is confirmed and members in
the Body are vindicated. May God empower us to be actively engaged in
His plan and purpose, NOW, TODAY and EVERYDAY till we see His
glorious return.
Jesus
promised in John 10:28, “And I give unto them eternal life; and
they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out
of my hand. 29My Father,
which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is
able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30
I and my Father are one.” Let us purpose here and now
to submit ourselves new and afresh to God's master plan. Not only for
our own salvation and victory but also for the divine will and
purpose of God in the earth. May we determine to allow Him to place
us in the body where it pleases Him and fits His purpose.
In
the Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave to John, He concluded
His exhortation to the churches with these sobering commands, Rev.
3:19, “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent. 20Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if
any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and
will sup with him, and he with me. 21To him that overcometh will I
grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am
set down with my Father in his throne. 22He that hath an ear, let him
hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” The promise is to
those that will hear what the Spirit is saying to the Body of Christ! The Message, p.27, available at Amazon.com. Check out Holiday pricing.
