“For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ” 1 Corinthians 12:12
The Body of Christ is a unit that makes up of many parts. God in His sovereignty, through the Holy Spirit, distributes different spiritual gifts to different parts of the Body. Every believer has a unique calling and role to play in God’s Kingdom.
In life, there will always be people who try to squeeze us into their moulds. They will pressure us to fit into who they want us to be. They may be good people and may mean well. But the problem is that they are not the ones who have created and anointed us to be who we are supposed to be. God is. If we are going to be all that God wants us to be and live in His perfect will for our lives, we cannot change our God-given mandate with every criticism that impinges upon us, no matter what. If we live our lives to win the favour and approval of others, we will have to go through life being manipulated and squeezed into their box of who they think we ought to be.
On Judgment Day, we are not going to stand before people to give an account of our lives, but instead we are going to stand before the Almighty God. He is not going to say, “Why didn’t you do what so-and-so told you to do? Why didn’t you fit into their mould? Why didn’t you take their opinion?” No, He is going to ask, “Did you become who I created you to be? Did you stay true to what I put in your heart?” We must stay true to who God has called us to be.
The odds were against us when we incorporated this fire ministries in 2007. Not only did our new ministry not get any help from any Christian organizations, some pastors, due their lack of insight of our calling, used their power of influence and connection to discredit and isolate us. Even our mentors succumbed to the pressure of the pastors, removed their spiritual coverings and disassociated with us, but the manifest presence of His fire and glory has never departed from us. It grows, instead from glory to glory. Praise God!
We stayed true to our calling without COMPROMISE out of fear of men, nor be a people pleaser. We have never departed from our God’s ordained calling of the impartation of fire impartation and spiritual gifts. As a result that we stay focused on mission that God has called us, our ministry has never experienced the lack of resources and finance. The Lord has also opened doors for our ministries to expand beyond borders.
The 11 minutes sharing by Benny Hinn how he almost destroyed his ministry. We almost fell into the enemy’s trap to stray out of our main focus and calling too, but God’s grace and mercy were upon us and He confronted it to lead us back into the main focus of our calling to be in His perfect will for us. Praise God!
There are two kinds of sin before God; one is the sin of rebellion, not faithful in obeying what God has told you to do (1 Samuel 15:22-23). The other is doing what God has not told you to do (Matthew 7:21-23).
To God be the power and glory for ever and ever. Amen!
God bless you!
