God wants us to fly on eagle's
wings. We saw that last week. He wants to work through us and bring
His Kingdom to this fallen earth. He only wants us to be willing to
be used. His Spirit will then flow through us into a broken world
and bring healing where possible. He will even pray through us,
when we do not know how to pray, He will literally do everything,
we just need to be open that He can flow. We need to be spiritually
minded and focus on the things that are important to God. He is a
good, good Father, amazingly generous. He will provide in all our
needs as we go out and make a difference for Him.
And all this is possible for us due
to what Jesus did for us. The Good News is that our sins are
forgiven and that He lives in all His power and might within us,
ready to change the world:
"For I am not ashamed of the
Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for
everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek."
Romans 1:16
The Gospel of Christ is the power
of God. It brings forth God's mighty power within us. Sharing and
declaring the Gospel of Christ will provide us with power. It
brings salvation to everyone that believes. The word salvation here
means Soteria in Greek. This word Soteria means "welfare,
prosperity, deliverance, preservation, salvation and safety". Thus
the Gospel of Christ brings all these wonderful things to us. Why?
Because we are part of His Kingdom and in His Kingdom is His life
and peace. His death and resurrection opened up the way for us to
enter into God's presence with confidence and peace. We can come to
Him as part of His family. We can come to Him today:
"Behold, now is the accepted
time; behold, now is the day of salvation." 2
Corinthians 6:2
The day of salvation is now. The
day to prosper, to be delivered and to be safe is now. It is not at
a future date when we have left this earth. No, the Word of God
tells us that it is now. But notice, to 'prosper' doesn't
necessarily refer to earthly riches. No, to prosper means to be
within God's Will, to do what He called you to do, to walk within
His perfect will for your life.
The Gospel of Christ is indeed Good
News. He came to set us free from this world and to provide
salvation for us now, today. And when you are free from this world,
true living starts. It is immensely exciting. Start living from a
heavenly perspective. Spend time with God and ask Him to show you
what it is that He expects of you. Ask Him to show you your life
from His perspective. It will surely liberate and free you from the
pressures of this life. He will give you advice and show you the
way to walk. You needn't stress and worry if you have Him by your
side. He will tell you exactly what to do. All you need to do is to
spend time with Him and follow His advice. Is that too much to ask?
I don't think so. Time spent with Him is time well spent. It will
save you much heartache in the long run.
Thank you Father for the good news
of Your Son! Thank you that He did everything to free us from this
world. Thank you that He came to give us salvation. Help us to
rather focus on You and Your Kingdom than on this life. We love and
praise You. Amen
