Fulfilling purpose in life and ministry

The following are keys in fulfilling purpose in life and ministry and staying true to the calling of Christ;

1. Making Heaven is the hallmark and prize for our earthly ministry. No one should trade the prize -making heaven for anything else in the world, else the calling/earthly ministry and labour will be in vain and a waste.  John14:2-3, Phil 3:20

2. A life of holiness in ministry and in walk with Christ is non- negotiable. It's a key requirement. Lev 11:44, 19:2, 20:26, 21:8 1 Pet. 1:15,16

Those who bear the vessels of the Lord should be holy Isaiah 52:11, Ezra 8:28a
3. Flee every appearances of evil (whatever is, resembles or is perceived wrong or evil, no justification makes it right or good/holy) 1 Thess 5:22-24

4. Your body is no longer yours as a vessel of God, you have been bought with a price - the blood of Jesus. Your body is now the temple of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit should not be grieved.
What is done with and to the body matters to the owner - God. Rom 12:1-2, 1 Cor 6:12-20.

5. Integrity is a key value. Being found honest, truthful and true.  2 Sam 22:26, 1 Chronicles 29:17a, Prov10:19, 28:6 NLT

6. Repentance plus Restitution is key elements in the Christian walk.
Repentance is turning from the wrong way. Restitution is taking a right action to correct a wrong action; peacemaking with those we cheated or offended, compensation/repayment fpr what we wrongfully took, etc.  Rom 5:1, 12:18.

7. The ministry and calling is God's idea and no one should use the wisdom of man but the Holy Spirit to function in it. Anything other than this is self-institution and not God's. 1 Cor. 2:1-5

8. The grace and calling of God upon the live of any individual is invaluable to God.  
Therefore, the anointing and the carrier must be respected. Psalm 105:15
Uzzah died for touching the ark of God wrongfully. There are many arks in earthly vessels  (humans) that should not be touched wrongly.  2 Samuel 6. 

9.  There is always a way of escape - flee and/or genuine repentance 1 Cor. 10:13, 1 John 1:9

Conclusion 
Think about all these: 2 Tim.2:7, Matt 18:15. Be true to the calling. 
God help us all. We will finish our Christian race well and in victory in Jesus Name. AMEN.

Forgiving others

It is very important and required of us to forgive others when they offend us. Yes, some offence can be so painful that we feel they cannot be forgiven. We may even feel justified to hold people in unforgiveness because of the magnitude or sensitivity of their offence against us or even others. But what does our evenly father wants us to do? "To forgive everyone their offence." How easy is that? Yes, It is not always easy but it is possible by God's grace. Remember we can do all things (including forgiving) through Christ that strengthens us. We can start by willing to forgive and let go, ask God to help you, tell Him how pained you feel and how difficult it is to let go, be sincere about your feelings (He knows anyways) and then trust and depend on the grace of God going forward. Simply say "God help me" whenever the ill-feeling comes up. Do that each day until you are completely healed. Yes, healed. Forgiving is a healing process; you have been wounded, bruise...

Forgiveness

When we do what is wrong, we need forgiveness to be set free of guilt and make peace with the one that we have offended. Same applies to when others offend us, we are to forgive them their offence against us. As humans, we think there are offences that are hard to forgive or cannot be forgiven but there is no offence too hard for God to forgive us, likewise God wants us to forgive anyone who offends us. Do you feel you have not sinned? Do you feel you have sinned and cannot be forgiven? Do you feel some has offended you and can never be forgiven? Let search God's Word together. The word of God below is an assurance that you can be forgiven; 1 John 1:8-10 New International Version If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him (God) out to be a liar and his word is not in us.

Lies leads to hell But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and ALL LIARS their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8 ESV) 3. Lies bring about shame and disgrace The righteous hates falsehood, but the wicked brings shame and disgrace. (Proverbs 13:5 ESV ) 4. Lies make us lose position as God's delight. Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight. (Proverbs 12:22 ESV) 5. Lies shorten period of relevance or appreciation. Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment. (Proverbs 12:19 ESV) 6. Lies relegates a man to a low status What is desired in a man is steadfast love, and a poor man is better tha...
