God Has Need of You!

Luke 19:28-36

28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’” 32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.” 35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road. 

We are God's inheritance. We are His spiritual resources - special instruments - His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, that He had before-ordained that we should walk therein. He has need of us!

'THE GOOD SHEPHERD'

Seeing with New Eyes

2 Corinthians 5:16-17 - 16 Consequently, from now on we estimate and regard no one from a [purely] human point of view [in terms of natural standards of value]. [No] even though we once did estimate Christ from a human viewpoint and as a man, yet now [we have such knowledge of Him that] we know Him no longer [in terms of the flesh]. 17 Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!

Paul makes it clear that we once viewed Christ from a "worldly" point of view, but we do so no longer.  We no longer view Him as merely "a carpenter's son" from Nazareth, but as the Son of the Living God!  Likewise, the Apostolic Way Makers must also be able to see the lost through new eyes. In order to do that, our minds must be renewed by the Word of God (Rom. 12:1-2).  To receive a fresh perspective, two things are required:

The Fire of God!

Many of you have celebrated the launch of my new book, "The Way Makers - Ambassadors for Christ..."  Thank you so much for your support!  However, there is an urgency in my spirit.
"The Way Makers - Ambassadors for Christ, Preparing the Way of the Lord" is more than a Christian leaders' guide complemented by personal testimony.

Although part of my call is to edify, equip and empower men and women of God who believe they have an end-time assignment; it is much more than that!

Lifestyle Evangelism - Walking as Children of Light

Eph. 5:1-11; 15-16   Way Makers fulfill their call under the anointing of the evangelist.  In these last days, those who are lost and dying are looking for authenticity - the real thing.  In this passage of scripture, we are first admonished to imitators of God as well beloved children imitate their father (vs. 1).  One of the primary ways of doing that is to love one another and esteem one another just as Christ loved us (vs. 2).  Jesus said they will know that you are my disciples by your love for one another. 

Paul further urges us to put off the deeds of darkness and walk as children of light (vs. 8).  Our conduct speaks more about who we are than our words.  If we continue in disobedience, we'll have no inheritance in the Kingdom and the wrath of God will be upon us (vs. 5-6).  "For the fruit of the light, or the Spirit, consists in every form of kindly goodness, uprightness of heart, and trueness of life." (vs.9)  Our lives should always exhibit conduct that is pleasing and acceptable to God (vs. 10).  And when we do this, we prepare the way of the Lord to convict of sin, righteousness and judgement.  "...let your lives be so in contrast as to expose, and reprove and convict them." (vs. 11)    

So then, "look carefully then how you walk.  Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise, sensible people, making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil." (vs. 15-16).  This is when we are to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.  God will open doors for us to bear witness to the truth and saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.  This is what lifestyle evangelism is all about!   

Way Makers this is your hour to let your lights so shine, that men might see your good works, and glorify your Father in Heaven!  Amen!
