ARE YOU DOING THE WILL OF GOD?
Being a servant of God,are you doing his will?
It is important for you to know God’s will and do it in order that you may please him.
What then is the will of God?
Let’s read the scriptures below:
John 6:37-40;
“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine will, but the will of him that sent me.
And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, THAT OF ALL WHICH HE HATH GIVEN ME I SHOULD LOSE NOTHING, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And this is the will of him that sent me,THAT EVERY ONE WHICH SEETH THE SON, AND BELIEVETH ON HIM,MAY HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE:and I will raise him up at the last day.”
This is the will of God, that”all who have come to Jesus, not one of them should get lost” and “every one who looks to Jesus and believes in him may have eternal life.”
It means that for any servant of God to do the Lord’s will perfectly,they must live on these TWO VISIONS;
1.)They should ensure that they “make people look to Jesus and believe in him so that they may have eternal life.”
2.)They should make sure that”Of all who have followed Jesus,none of them gets lost.”
While he lived on earth,the Lord Jesus founded his ministry on these two great visions and walk in them.For this reason,his heavenly Father testified that he was well pleased with him.
If you want to please God,make sure that you lead people to safety which is found only in Christ by pointing the way to him.So that they may look to him and put their trust in him.The Bible says that there’s rejoicing in heaven over one dinner who repents.To bring pleasure to God and make the heaven joyful,we must win as many souls to Jesus as we can.
It’s not just enough to show them the way and then abandoning them!T accomplish God’s will,we are to ensure that all who have believed in Jesus grow and stand firm in Faith,and also that not even one of them is lost.We are to shepherd and take of them;being careful lest we cause any one of them to decline spiritually or backslide.In other words,we have to ensure they abide in their salvation and hold fast to it.
John 15:16;
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit,and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.”
Note that the Lord says “he has appointed us to bear fruit”and that “the fruit we bear should abide”. Having ordained us to bear fruit, Jesus adds that this fruit should abide.That is,the fruit we bear should not just last for a while but it should be there to remain.
There is a time when the Lord asked Peter if he loved him indeed.Jesus then told this disciple these words:
John 21:15-17;
“So when they had dined,Jesus saith to Simon Peter,Simon,son of Jonas,lovest thou me more than these?He saith unto him,Yes,Lord;thou knowest that I love thee.He saith unto him,FEED MY LAMBS.
He saith unto him again the second time, Simon,son of Jonas,lovest thou me?He saith unto him,Yes,Lord:thou knowest that I love thee.He saith unto him FEED MY SHEEP.
He saith unto him the third time,Simon,son of Jonas, lovest thou me?Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time,Lovest thou me?And he said unto him,Lord, thou knowest all things;thou knowest that I love thee.Jesus saith unto him,FEED MY SHEEP.”
The Lord told Peter to do two things:to FEED and SHEPHERD his flock.We also have a responsibility not only to feed but also to tend.We shepherd people so they do not regress spiritually.Through this,we make our fruit to abide,and, thus, God’s will is fulfilled.
Acts 15:36,40-41;
“And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas,Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord,and see how they do.
And Paul chose Silas , and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
AND HE WENT THROUGH SYRIA AND CICILIA, CONFIRMING CHURCHES.”
Are you doing the will of God?Are you working to draw men to Christ?Do you make people abide in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ?If you are doing all these,be encouraged that whatever you do is great and commendable.
John 4:34-35;
“Jesus saith unto them,My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Say not ye,There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold,I say unto you,Lift up your eyes,and look on fields; for they are white ready for harvest.”
May the Lord help us to do his will.
Maran atha!
