IF WE ARE TO BE OF CHRIST, WE MUST LEARN HOW TO BE CONTENT IN ALL SITUATIONS.
THE CALLED & DIVINELY FAVORED:
TO WALK IN THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS TO PLACE ONESELF UNDER THE ARMOR OF GOD.
(EPHESIANS, 6:-10-18)
AN UNAPPEASABLE APPETITE FOR POPULARITY AND TO LIVE A GLAMOROUS LIFESTYLE HAVE SINCE BEEN AN EFFECTIVE TOOL IN SATAN’S TOOLBOX AGAINST ANOINTED MEN OF GOD REGARDLESS OF DENOMINATION.
THIS HAS BEEN THE MAJOR CAUSE OF THEIR DOWNFALL.
WE ARE SO QUICK IN APPORTIONING BLAME TO ESAU FOR SELLING OFF HIS BIRTHRIGHT TO HIS BROTHER JACOB FOR POTTAGE. (GENESIS, 25:-29-34)
WHILE ON THE OTHER HAND, MOST OF THE SO-CALLED LEADERS HAVE SOLD THE GRACE AND THE ANOINTING OF GOD ON THEM TO SATAN LESS THAN THE VALUE OF POTTAGE.
AND THEY CONTINUE TO IMPEDE THE SALVATION OF THEIR FOLLOWERS BY NOT TEACHING THEM RIGHT.
HEAR WHAT APOSTLE PAUL HAS TO SAY CONCERNING BEING CONTENT.
PHILIPPIANS, 4:-11-13; APOSTLE PAUL PROCLAIMED: “I AM NOT SAYING THIS BECAUSE I AM IN NEED, FOR I HAVE LEARNED TO BE CONTENT WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
I KNOW WHAT IS LIKE TO BE IN NEED, AND I KNOW WHAT IT IS TO HAVE PLENTY. I HAVE LEARNED THE SECRET OF BEING CONTENT IN ANY SITUATION WHETHER WELL FED OR HUNGRY, WHETHER LIVING IN PLENTY OR IN WANT.”
IF WE ARE TO BE OF CHRIST, WE MUST LEARN HOW TO BE CONTENT IN ALL SITUATIONS.
IN CONCLUSION: “AND HE CALLED THE TWELVE TOGETHER AND GAVE THEM POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER ALL DEMONS AND TO CURE DISEASES. AND HE SENT THEM OUT TO PROCLAIM THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND TO HEAL. AND SAID TO THEM, “TAKE NOTHING FOR YOUR JOURNEY, NO STAFF, NO BAG, NO BREAD, NO MONEY, NO EXTRA SHIRT.
(LUKE, 9:-1-13) “FREELY YE RECEIVED, FREELY SHALL YE GIVE.”
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, “OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE” (1 SAMUEL, 15:-22-24)
PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYER TO CALL UPON THE BLOOD OF JESUS TO BE UPON HIS CHURCH AND FLUSH OUT ALL FORMS OF UNCONTROLLABLE APPETITE TO ACQUIRE WEALTH, THAT HAS NOW TAKEN OVER THE HOUSE OF GOD REGARDLESS OF DENOMINATION, IN ADDITION TO OUR ONGOING PRAYERS FOR LOVE AND UNITY AMONG CHRIST-FOLLOWERS.
