Straight Talk About Who We Are

1 Sam 14:6-8

6 Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised;  it may be that the Lord will work for us.  For nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few.”  7 So his armorbearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go then; here I am with you, according to your heart.” 8Then Jonathan said, “Very well, let us cross over to these men, and we will show ourselves to them.

1 Sam 14:8  Webster

8Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to these men, and we will discover ourselves to them.

Let’s See What God Will Do?

If you read further in the chapter, you will see that as Jonathan and his armorbearer took action and went to the enemy’s camp, God sent a localized earthquake and destroyed their enemies….

Maybe they told you, you can’t own that kind of house,

Or you can’t have that kind of job,

Or you will not get healthy.

Or your ministry will never reach the men in your community.

Doors that seem closed from a distance – will open by the time you get there – if God sent you over there. Move toward it, and see what God will do?

Very few people live their lives; most people simply exist from day to day, letting life happen to them.

The truth is that we will never find our reason to be here on planet earth until we connect with the purpose of God in our lives. But living life just like everyone else, with our minds fixed on the world’s way of doing things will not enable us to make a significant mark on our generation.

Unbelievers “toil and spin” (Matthew 6:27-29). In a godless system where every individual is on his own in making his life work, worry is the driving force and manipulation of people and events to personal advantage is the order of the day.

Any Christian who chooses to live that way, just like everyone else, will have to become good at duplicity: one face for Church and one for getting what they need from the world. One face for being nice to people on  Sunday and another for dealing with the toughness of the world.

The world’s system will never crown you champion without putting skeletons in your closet, and then it will use those skeletons to exert leverage over you.

The Kingdom of God works by sowing and reaping and trusting God for your harvest while you sow your life as a seed into His purposes. And the blessing of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow to it.

Which way is it going to be in your life?

I encourage you to let God love you. He will never reject you and He does not condemn you. His love brings out the best in you, so yield to Him today and trust Him to take care of you as you operate His system. No one can do you like Jesus and He will never mismanage your life!

Come, let us move toward the things that God is showing us, and there we will discover ourselves

Praying For You As Always.
