The gifts that we have been given, are these to compete with or to complete and to serve one another?
Our economy and the world system is set up in competition as proof of our successes and yet the Prince of Heaven, the one that the Father made the richest of all, came down Excepting a body, being made a little lower than the poorest of the angels and made Himself of no reputation for our sakes.
He did this to make us complete in His Father so we might have a hope of being part in the true riches, the Father of Life.
So as our pattern of success what then should we do? Should we do as the world 🌍 does and compete with one another or as son of God did and complete one another.
For God so loved the world 🌍 that He sent His only begotten Son!
We are one body with gifts differing so that we can be complete in our services to one another.
Don’t we by making ourselves the servants of Christ become His Free Men in His service?
What stops the return of Christ, isn’t it the filling up of His body, with our remaining brethren, how will His body be filled up if we don’t complete our commissions?
For our work for Him we receive Wages and with these wages we can by both oil for our lamps 🪔 as we wait for the bride groom to return and for meat so with the protein that the meat provides we can grow up into the full stature of Christ our Lord.
There is only one commission but there are many jobs within His body. If we do these job well then there is a reward, but let’s not forget His commission to us all.
Matthew 28: 18-20
And Jesus came and spoke to them saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
“Go therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit,
“Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
Always remember in this commission, that “ Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world “! Let’s pray for open doors 🚪 and for the words that we should speak when our opportunities arise, and to serve one another from pure hearts for a reward in His Spirit while we are still alive!
