Christianity of do as I say and not do as I do…
CHRIST ROYAL AMBASSADORS;
WE ARE VERY QUICK IN RECITING THE LORD’S PRAYER AS CHRISTIANS.
BUT FAIL TO UNDERSTAND ITS FULL CONCEPT, MOST ESPECIALLY THE ASPECT OF IT THAT SAYS, “THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH.” THAT MEANS WE HAVE VOWED TO ALLOW THE WILL OF GOD TO BE DONE IN OUR LIVES AS PROFESSED CHRISTIANS.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO IMPLEMENTATION; THE STORY CHANGES.
WE LOVE TO PLACE OUR PERSONAL “WILL” OVER THAT OF GOD.
IT IS THE “WILL” OF GOD THAT WE FORGIVE WHOEVER TRESPASS AGAINST US UNCONDITIONALLY.
IT IS ALSO THE “WILL” OF GOD THAT WE HONOR THE SABBATH. AS IT IS CLEARLY WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF ISAIAH, 58:-13-14.
IT IS ALSO THE “WILL” OF GOD THAT WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR COLOR, GENDER, OR NATIONALITY.
IT IS ALSO THE “WILL” OF GOD THAT WE CARE FOR THE POOR, THE FATHERLESS, THE WIDOW, AND THE LESS-PRIVILEGED; INCLUDING MEMBERS OF OUR OWN FAMILY. (1TIMOTHY,5:-8)
WHENEVER WE ALLOW OUR PERSONAL “WILL” OVER THAT OF GOD, WE ARE PROVOKING GOD TO ANGER.
NEVER IS THE “WILL” OF MAN IS SAME AS THE “WILL”OF GOD.
EVEN THE “WILL” OF CHRIST AT A CERTAIN POINT WASN’T THE “WILL” OF GOD. (MATT.26:-39)
UNTIL WE ALLOW THE “WILL” OF GOD TO PREVAIL IN OUR LIVES;
WE MIGHT BE SINGING OR PREACHING ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, OF WHICH WE MAY NOT BE PART OF.
MAY THE LORD GRANT UNTO US THE SPIRIT OF HUMILITY AND OBEDIENCE, THAT WE MAY BE AMONG THE CHOSEN FEW.
