Fit for Purpose

The normal man, the normal person, does not fit into the kingdom of God. We have to be reborn and molded, made, transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ before we can be used by Him in His kingdom. It is through our relationship with Jesus and our obedience to Him that we become like Him. But we have to YIELD to Him, firstly to repent of sin, of following our own mind, of doing what WE want to do and we must turn to Jesus, obey HIM, obey His words as also written in the gospels, SEEK Him, SEEK His Holy Spirit to come and dwell in us and then YIELD to Him so that He can transform us and change us to fit into the new mold.

Our groove needs to be changed, we need to fit into a new groove, the GROOVE of the Kingdom of Heaven. The change that Jesus works in us NEVER STOPS, it never ends, the molding, the forming, the sharpening, the shaping never ends. As long as we are alive the Holy Spirit will work on us, guide us, teach us and transform us into His likeness but WE MUST BE WILLING AND EAGER to FOLLOW, OBEY and SERVE. If we do not WILLINGLY serve, seek, follow and PRESS ON IN we WILL NOT enter the kingdom of heaven, we will not become useful and fruitful in the kingdom of God.

We need to SEEK Jesus every day, live in utter holiness and righteousness and MAKE OURSELVES AVAILABLE to Him, LISTEN to His Holy Spirit, OBEY and FOLLOW Him and then He can use us. Then we can be useful instruments in His kingdom. If we are not willing and useful and fruitful then we are worthless just like the branch that does not bear fruit, it will get cut off and burned. We must YIELD ourselves to the Holy Spirit. We must present ourselves for service in the kingdom of God.

The kingdom of God is about US FOLLOWING AND OBEYING JESUS CHRIST, SERVING HIM as LORD AND MASTER. Are you part of the kingdom of God? Are you in Christ and bearing the fruit of the Holy Spirit? Are you DOING what Jesus is guiding you to do every day?

May Jesus bless you.
