God has no favourites in the Kingdom! We are all His favourites! We are all accepted in Him! Some of us may say, ‘My circumstances declare something different.’ This is where faith comes in. When Paul was called into ministry, Ananias objected at being called to pray for Paul as described in Acts 9:15-16. “But the Lord said to him, ‘Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.’” We have to choose to believe the Word and not just what we see because our faith has the power to change what we can see. Mark 9:41 tells us how James and John’s dysfunction impacted everyone else. This verse says, “And when the ten heard it they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.” James and John brought their personal dysfunction into their Kingdom family. Does that ever happen in the church? Does it happen for the same reason? Will we ever grow up and accept and believe what the Lord has said about us, that we are accepted in His Family? To fully believe this we have to trust Him to pass out the assignments and the giftings and callings. This is not a matter of the higher the earthly status the greater the Father accepts and loves us! It is a matter of accepting our acceptance and walking as a servant and humbling ourselves to God’s assignments and path for us. It takes a lot of humility to do and it is a challenge based on our past hang ups and experiences.
- This is a season of harvest. It is a season for repositioning and repossessing.
- The Lord has therefore called on the Ecclesia to have times of sacrifice of praise which is the fruit of lips which confess the name of the Lord.
- Endeavor to cultivate a lifestyle of deliberate praise and worship, song ministration and proclamation of scripture over the coming season.
- Are there prophetic releases that have come forth and you are believing God for? Pray through them and monitor which ones are coming to pass and which ones require increased intercession on our part – God is faithful. He will fulfill all that He has promised to do.
