Theme: We are Prophets of Jesus Christ not Grace
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
There is alot going on as as we noted yesterday, many Ministers now work for the approval of man. Well we shall have to choose who is to be our Master.
👲🏽 People seem to be intoxicated with huge titles and they love to look to them more than Jesus Christ who they serve. A wave of teaching and doctrine alterations is what is killing ministers and ministries.
The use of word prophet in todays text is generally referring to ministry.
✍🏾 If we are to be ministers of the full Gospel of Jesus Christ then we need to go back to the basic Truth. We must not be ministers of "prophets of Grace" or prophets of judgement etc but we should be Prophets of the testimony of Jesus Christ
Grace and judgment are part of the Gospel not the gospel in its totality. Jesus Christ our Lord was anointed by the Holy Spirit to preach the Gospel, the whole Word of God and not just part of it.
📖 Scripture Reading📖
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And He said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 19:10
✍🏾 If you choose to be a Prophet of grace then you may not serving Christ Jesus our Lord but you are a self made servant and hence the message you present is not the true representation of Jesus Christ; your message is not the testimony of Christ🙅🏽🙅🏽.
People seeking their own glory have made themselves ministers of their own interest other than the message of Jesus Christ.
📖18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but He that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
John 7:18
✍🏾 Regardless of the ministry we are called to, Jesus is the center and He is the message, not His hand, His clothes not even His hair alone but the whole of Him. So Don't prophecy grace alone, also the judgment of God, don't prophecy the judgment alone but also the wisdom, the revelation, the witness, the healing and power of salvation not leaving out the repentance to overcome sin and win a soul back to the righteousness of God and Holiness
🐒 It is not wrong to desire to minister as long as you do the right thing and for the right reason which should be to serve the purpose of God. With the right motive, we shall manage to maintain the simplicity of our devotion to Christ Jesus our Lord
Ministry whether prophecy, teaching, Pastoring, Evangelising and Apostolic are just means of serving Jesus Christ - Our Master. Remember we are servants and He is the Master and Owner of the vineyard.
✍🏾 Our ministry should be an audible voice of Christ Our Lord, which is a representation of His still small voice 1 kings 19:12 but also He roars from Zion Joel 13:16.
Let us go back and back and be servants to the Master not the message only, if the Master changes the message we should still be servants and serve. If He gives a message of grace go serve, if He gives you a message of Holiness, don't say am a grace preacher I don't talk about Holiness. There is one God and Master to serve, don't make your interest in ministry become a god and start branding yourself things God has not called you to be and do.
🙇🏽♂ Remember we are servants of Jesus Christ so whatever message He gives us, that should we deliver to His People.
Shalom.
