THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE: DOING EXPLOIT WORTHY OF REMEMBRANCE!
“Then those who FEARED [REVERENTIALLY FEAR] the Lord spoke to one another, And the Lord listened and heard them; So a BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE was written before Him For those who FEAR the Lord And who meditate on His name. 17 “They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will SPARE them As a man spares his own son who SERVES him.” 18 Then you shall again DISCERN Between the RIGHTEOUS and the WICKED, Between one who SERVES God And one who DOES NOT SERVE Him” Malachi 3:16-18/NKJV
In life, you are either pursuing something or something is pursuing you. You are either being kept awake by something or else; something is keeping you awake. And you are either living by being relevant, pragmatic and intentional in life pursuit, or you are playing catch-up with laziness, slothfulness and blame-gaming others for entitlement. Know today that in the Kingdom of God in Christ Jesus stead, for our God to keep you in remembrance, there’s NO ROOM from staying STALLED and expects the heavenly signature. You are either going to be hot or to be cold, because there’s no in-between as being lukewarm with God.
“And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are NEITHER COLD NOR HOT. I could wish you were COLD OR HOT. 16 So then, because you are LUKEWARM, and neither COLD NOR HOT, I will VOMIT YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH . . . 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent . . .” Revelation 3:14-21.
Our Saviour and Lord doesn’t tolerate irrelevant atmosphere. Such degree and level of truancy is prohibited in the services of God for anyone wanting to be relevant. God’s gracious endowment and enduement is not for selfish blossoming without fruit. Recall that Jesus CURSED the fig trees with leaves WITHOUT FRUIT – because there’s no corresponding character to make up, show up and back up, such level of been greenish. Doing exploit, by bringing forth corresponding results is important in the Kingdom for all the born of God in Christ Jesus. For any that refused to be productive and results-oriented after being born of God is living contrary to the word, as such, such person must not eat or given any reception to encourage their stupidity and slothfulness.
“Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found NOTHING ON IT BUT LEAVES, and said to it, “LET NO FRUIT GROW ON YOU EVER AGAIN.” Immediately the fig tree withered away. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?” Matthew 21:18-20 [Mark 11:12-14]/NKJV.
“For even when we were with you, we COMMANDED you this: IF ANYONE WILL NOT WORK, NEITHER SHALL HE EAT. 11 For we hear that there are some who WALK AMONG YOU IN A DISORDERLY MANNER, NOT WORKING AT ALL, BUT ARE BUSYBODIES. 12 Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread” 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12/NKJV
In the Kingdom, the blessedness that’s endowed and endued with graciousness and gracefulness and lavishly poured upon us as Believers of God in Christ Jesus, is for a purpose, meaning, IT’S FOR DOING EXPLOIT; IT’S NOT FOR A SHOW, OR SELF-SEEKING OR HUMAN APPLAUSE. We need to be exploring, innovating, initiating and creating that good and goodness to advance the Kingdom cause of our God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, for the good of mankind while we look towards the glorious appearing our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in the grace. We are to be a living epistle in the grace that’s doing exploits unreservedly in the grace. For it’s a thing worth living through and through for the cause of the kingdom of God in Christ Jesus stead. Be the epistle that many can read the truth of God through and through in the grace.
“Those who DO wickedly against the covenant he shall CORRUPT with flattery; but THE PEOPLE who KNOW their God shall be STRONG, and carry out GREAT EXPLOITS” Daniel 11:32/NKJV
“Do we begin again to COMMEND ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you? 2 YOU ARE OUR EPISTLE WRITTEN IN OUR HEARTS, KNOWN AND READ BY ALL MEN; 3 clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart” 2 Corinthians 3:1-3/NKJV.
One primary and great inescapable, global and supreme tasks that is available to everyone to do – is to preach the Gospel. To turn the hearts of many to God in Christ Jesus. Helping your family members, your friend and colleagues to turn their hearts to God, for the righteous causes, it’s the best gift you can give to any. And God honours and remember such Kingdom services that advances the Kingdom cause and keeps the enemy at bay.
“Those who are [SPIRITUALLY] WISE will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who LEAD many to righteousness, [will SHINE] like the STARS forever and ever” Daniel 12:3/Amplified.
“Then the RIGHTEOUS will SHINE forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear” Matthew 13:43.
Therefore, it’s imperative that you get yourself on board now. You know that after salvation, you need to work out your salvation in the grace [Philippians 4:12].
I pray and challenge you today that you get on board to do things worthy for the Father God to be gracious and graceful of your labour of love, patience in hope and work of Faith.
