IF YOU NEGLECT YOUR PURPOSE

NO REWARD!

The words of our LORD Jesus Christ is written in red ink in the Bible and this distinctly distingushes His Words from that of others. 

It means His words are superior to any other statements in the Bible 

The Bible is not just an account of direct words from the Father, it is also filled with human experiences. 

So when next you are reading the Bible, you must take cognizance of the words of our LORD Jesus Christ and  words spoken by others in line with their different experiences.

Our LORD made a profound statemet in Matt 16:23

"You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”.( you have no idea how God works)

Luke 16:15 is in the light of the above scriptures. What men celebrate and termed Success is not what Heaven terms as success in the Kingdom. What men applauds as been successful is not what Christ defines as being successful 

THE TALES OF TWO KINGDOM AMBASSADORS 

This is a tale of John the Baptist and Simeon, (Luke 2:25-34) the man who took our LORD Jesus Christ in hands in the temple and prophecied over Him.

 They lived in the same generation .

They were both Jews and seed of Abraham, God's friend.

They were raised by the Holy Spirit for specific ministry for the work of The Christ on earth. 

One ministry was popular and the crowd troop to it in the.wilderness. The other ministry was known only in heaven and recognised by the Holy Spirit. Yet, each played important roles in the life of our LORD JESUS.

While John the Baptist show forth the.grown-up man Jesus Christ to the Crowd, Simeon was.annointed and raised by the same Holy Ghost to present Christ to the physical Temple as the Messiah.

If Simeon had left His ministry because it was not popular, recognised and opened a ministry like that of John because the Crowd was there, he would have failed in his calling and probably deter God's purpose.

The place and position of the Saviour's presentation in the Temple would have been neglected, 

although God had ordained that a man raised by the Holy Ghost must be in the temple when Jesus Christ was.bought for dedication.

 If Simeon had left the location of his calling and assignment, Jesus Christ may not have received those prophecies at that time. Mary , the mother of God  in turn may have missed that important prophecy that showed the divinity and purpose of Christ. ( And the errors would have continued like that).

Every member of the Body of Christ is strategically placed with appropriate gifts/ anointing in specific locations and time.

 It is a linked chains of human network that must not be broken for the effective running of God's operations on earth.

Success in God' s view is the following

1. Receive your CALLING, PURPOSE,  with the necessary and appropriate GIFTS for it successful operations in its designated LOCATION.

2. Learn all you can about this specific calling and develop your gifts and ensure it becomes one thousand times  more and the least of it becomes a nation. It means you can use just one of your gift to affect nations of people. 

FOR EXAMPLE

* a man/ woman with a teaching gift in Sunday School that teach like 20 young people faithfully so that some of such become intercessors, apostles, prophets, entrepreneurs, technocrats, bureaucrates, politicians sent to  build nations of the world.

A Sunday School teacher taught young people who in turn affected nations.

 It means in God's tracking records, the Sunday School teacher will share in the rewards of the work of all those who pass through her Sunday school. ( I guess this where networking businrsses get their wisdom of downlines)

YOU ARE REWARDED.FOR DOING THE WORK, YOU RECEIVED FROM HEAVEN AND NOT JOINING THE POPULAR BANDWAGONS.
