FAITH DENIAL
Posted on: 16-05-2013
BUT IF ANYONE DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR HIS OWN, AND ESPECIALLY HIS FAMILY, HE HAS DENIED THE FAITH AND IS WORSE THAN AN INFIDEL. (1 TIMOTHY 5:8) This is one of the most difficult situations for many of us today. We may find ourselves caught in this situation by the old deceiver, who always looks any opportunity to deceive us, take us away from the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. We sometimes think family life as a burden of spiritual life, thereby blocking our spiritual growth with the master. Apostle Paul has explained in book of Acts “And because he was of the same trade, he stayed and worked with them; for they were tentmakers by occupation. (Acts 18:3)â€. Oh! This is a hard to digest ministry aspect which most of us avoid, preaching the gospel of Christ and working in an occupation. But godliness with contentment is great gain. (1 Timothy 6:6). Contentment is state of giving thanks to GOD in what so ever situation we are like Job. This is possible only with the following thing mentioned below. What is important for all of us a believer of Christ? Te body of Christ is comprised of fivefold ministry explained as “And truly He gave some to be apostles (1), and some to be prophets (2), and some to be evangelists (3), and some to be pastors (4) and teachers, (5) (Ephesians 4:11)†It is explained “But the ANOINTING which you received from Him abides in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His ANOINTING teaches you concerning all things, and is true and no lie, and as He has taught you, abide in Him. (1 John 2:27) â€. Because further prophet Isaiah explains “And it shall be, in that day his burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and THE YOKE SHALL BE DESTROYED BECAUSE OF THE ANOINTING. (Isaiah 10:27)â€. The master Christ who is called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace, gives an open invitation in book of revelation “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him and he with Me. (Revelation 3:20)â€. Today preaching of gospel is manifestation of the living word of living GOD as explained “For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. (1 Corinthians 4:20)â€. Power comes from anointing which is by the Grace of Christ, which is manifested to us for his Glory. The anointing breaks the bondage of yolk, God bless you with his anointing in Christ! Amen !
