Main Text: I Peter 1:22 I would like to encourage you in finding ways to exercise the gifts that God has placed in you for such time as this for beautiful is the fellowship of saints together with one vision. You are beautifully unique in God’s plan for the Body of Christ. There is no one else that can fit your calling and purpose. Please know that before God formed you- He knew your specific place in this earth found in Jeremiah 1:1. He knew what gifts and calling that you would have for the Body of Christ. In Ephesians 4:1, Paul calls us to walk worthy of the calling placed on our lives. Remember that your life is the Christian mission. You have been called to gather the harvest with meekness and longsuffering. We are given gifts for the perfection of the saints to build each other in the faith for this purpose. We need each other more than ever. Rest in the knowledge that you were called for this time from the foundation of the world as in Ephesians 1:4 for his good pleasure of His will. We are pilgrims in this earth as heavenly citizens to walk in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Please hold on the gift of God which is your faith. Faith is the expectation of things not seen for He is our peace. Our foundation is built upon the apostles and prophet with Jesus Christ as our cornerstone. We are stones that are fitly joined together for the holy temple in the Lord. The Holy Spirit dwells with us as we are one as the Body of Christ. Find your place in this time and work in the calling that God has given you. We need each other through these troubles- You are someone’s solution. Fight the good fight of faith to remember God’s promise to you for you are lovely in God’s sight. Everything is by God’s purpose and plan. Romans 8:28 says that we know that all things- the good, bad, and ugly- work together for good to them that love God that are called according to His purpose. We must alway know and believe that His purpose is best for our lives.
Prayer of Victory:
In Jesus Name Lord, please help me to understand that I am lovely in your sight as I strive to find my place in these troubled times. I know that I am uniquely made to gather the harvest at this time as events are governed by your Divine purpose. As I hold on the gift of God which is faith. I expect peace to preside in my heart as I meditate on your Word. Operating in the gifts so I am jointly framed with my brothers and sisters in Christ will be my mission in this life. Many things that are happening I do not understand but know that You are forever in control. I am under your protection as I move according to Your will. This place is not home as I travel in heavenly places in Christ. Please let me remember that my life is the Christian mission as I gather the harvest while there is time. Make me sensitive to other’s needs to know that I have placed on the earth for a purpose. Amen and Amen.
