Wow! What an honour!!!
This is what I was meditating on, earlier this morning!
The Apostle Paul in Titus 2 vs 1- 9 said this:
1.......... You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. 2 Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. 7 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness 8 and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
9 Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, 10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive. ........................................................................................................................................................................
Wow, this got me thinking; yeah I know that the Lord Jesus gave me a mandate to preach the Gospel and now this in the scripture above. Ehhheeh, am I not special, am I not too blessed, that I can partake in what is dear to the LORD (I am Too Much neh, heheh). So now I know that in preaching the Gospel, it is my responsibility to make the very same Gospel of Jesus Christ, to be attractive. Not making it attractive in the way I tell IT only, also making it attractive through the way I live and conduct myself, this is all LOVE. Heheh, truly this LOVE constrains/Compels/urges me to do what is pleasing to HIM, the same as this LOVE constrained/compelled/urged HIM to give His Only Son for us, to lay down His Life for us........................................................................................................................................................................
What would you do for someone who ensures that all is well with you? That person who is selfless, caring, pure, loving, concerned about your well-being, that person whom you know very well that "there is nothing she/he cannot do for me". Wow! Is there such a person, yes there is, many of them. The very first is GOD.
Wow, my mind is thinking of a lot of things to do for such a person; yet All HE requires from us is this:
Mark 16 vs 15
..He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Heheheh, what kind of LOVE is this..aaaah LORD..!!
Well, in this world, those are the people that have received LOVE and fully acknowledge IT and discern how it came about and its impact thereof. They are giving what they have received, in LOVE. There is something unusual about these kinds of people and that is what gets people talking in awe and in disbelief, because in this world, such people are very hard to find. The FACT is; Everyone is attracted to a good 'thing'.
But we the Sons of God have received the greatest LOVE of all, Glory To God! It is our responsibility to show forth what we have received, to make/present (the Gospel has the POWER on its own because IT the Word of God, but I participate in enhancing that POWER, making/presenting the Gospel ATTRACTIVE (heheh, am I not too Blessed, Too Much? Well....), to walk in love, to be disciplined and to do what is Good always, to do what pleases HIM.
Wow! What an honour!!! This is the Gospel that MAKES me who I am today, Glory to God. I'm so honoured to share this with you, hoping that you'll also share it with other. This is BIG, too Great..you can't keep quiet about IT, you just cant..heheh. This is one of the ways we get to show forth that we are truly a partaker of the Divine Nature as the Word says. Glory!!!!!!!!!. PS, please pardon my spelling errors neh, am rushing for church. God Bless you!!!!!!!!!!!
