Your Unique Role

Dear Friend,

Once again I found myself wondering about the magnitude of what is expected of me (and other born again Christians) and it’s been burning in my heart for a while. This Sunday I heard my pastor saying that the year 2007 is a year of manifestation. Wow! many will just jump at this prophetic utterance without pondering a little bit about the role they will have to play to see this manifestation. This is a very serious calling from the Spirit; I feel a need to start manifesting the very essence of my being but it calls for discipline, diligence and determination.

I was listening to a musician’s lyrics this morning on my way to the office; the guy was saying that when he comes again to this earth, that he will become a prayer warrior and a born again Christian. I was shocked that he didn’t want to be a born again Christian and prayer warrior right now. I think this is the appropriate time to address this issue just in case someone feels the same way. The bible says ‘it is appointed for a man to die only once then face judgment’. Each person has one life to live on this earth and then die to face judgment'. I still haven’t truly gotten past the fact that my aunt was called back home without my full interaction with her, I’m happy she did exploits for God and showed the true love of God to mankind, but I grieve because I didn’t make the most of the time with her. I truly miss her but she has passed the baton to us and the race still needs to be won, we must run and ensure that we win this important (and only) race.

This life is a very serious life indeed and it is best to thrive to receive the spirit of wisdom and understanding in the knowledge of HIM who has called us out of darkness into HIS marvelous light. With the acquisition of the Spirit of wisdom and understanding in the knowledge of Christ then we can truly do exploits and manifest the greatness that is in us for the good of mankind.

If we are uncertain about what God expects of us, we need to study the scriptures particularly the New Testament books. However, we need to ceaselessly seek God’s face through fasting and prayers to know the unique purpose of God for each of our lives. I’m still going through the process with full anticipation that he will hear and answer me.

Dear friend, the Christian race is a process with a definite outcome, we need the oil of grace to sustain this process and function effectively in this world as true disciples of Jesus Christ in order to boldly do the things he has called us to do.
