To Seek God
To Seek God
This message is the continuation of yesterday's message.
2. The grace of salvation received could be grown in the receiver?s life, so that the person could grow exceeding their physical capacity and abilities. They will receive various divine potentials and abilities according to the word or portion of faith given by the Father in their life.
a. Grace of Salvation
When someone receives the experience of new birth, the Father gives them a heart that loves Him, thirsty and hungry of Him. To grow the portion of grace they received, someone only needs to follow that thirst of God. Ignoring the urge to seek God's reality in a higher scale - whatever the reason - will only make a person?s spiritual life becoming legalistic and religious. The life of the Spirit supposedly colouring the life of all New Creations starts to dim and vanish. When someone returns to seek God, however, the Father will return the blaze of that first love. God renews the momentum in their spiritual life.
b. The grace to keep growing in Him
When someone keeps on following the urge to seek God, they will find how the dimension of grace in their life increases. From their earnestness in seeking the reality of God and His word, Holy Spirit will keep on working, bringing many revelations of the word: the new identity in Christ; how to activate the power and authority in their lives as sons of the King; understanding the purpose and destiny of the Father they have to realise, the good works for their daily lives; understanding the reality and presence of the Holy Spirit as their partner of ministry on earth, etc, are some principal word revelation every New Creation must experience. The word and the Spirit will keep ministering, transforming and moulding the life of every New Creations into the individual Father has set.
c. The grace to obey
There is one secret of the Kingdom we have to understand: for those who 'have', more will be added to them; for those who 'don't have', what they (assume to) have will be taken away from them (Mat 13:12).
When someone keeps on outworking (cooperating with) the portion of grace working in their lives, they will have all the needed elements to keep growing in Him. The spirit of hunger and thirst of God will always be present and growing in their life; the meek, mouldable, teachable and wanting to change spirit will become the nature of their spirit man; the work of the spirit of prayer, understanding, and the knowing of God will always be present, resulting in a spiritual position which is ever-victorious, full of authority, influence and power to start manifesting in their daily lives. Always obeying the voice of the Spirit no longer becomes a struggle in their life.
d. The grace to know God right
The working of various spiritual dimensions in a person's life, especially the spirit of understanding and knowledge of God, will condition the person to keep growing in their spiritual stature. God will keep carrying them to manifest a spiritual position which is ever-victorious, full of influence, authority and power in day-to-day life. Our daily living keeps on reflecting the identity and presence of God that He revealed through His word to us.
Once again, remember, God desires to make our lives as His Temple on earth - a place or facility for God to reveal His 'All-...'(Knowing, Powerful, etc) presence to the life of mankind all around us.
e. The grace to serve Him
Ministry should be defined as all form of our action over our neighbour, sourced from our overflowing love expression to Him when we are able to capture the mind and heart of God for the people around us - we allow our hands, feet, mouth, resources, all our life to be the embodiment of the God we love when He is willing to do something to the people around us. That's the time when we will enjoy the real 'peak of life'. God brings us to find our destiny and He gives us the ability to fully realise it.
So, it could be said that a ministry is an opportunity given by God to us who could represent Him in certain areas of life that God has truly set for us. We will be able to function optimally just like that, like a fish entering water. #iLoveGod (Ps. Steven Agustinus)
