Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!

Philippians 2:21 "For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's".
We as children of God have to come to a few realizations before we can effectively walk this journey we have embarked upon. The first is this life we now live is not ours. The souls we are to lead to Christ He paid for, and the church we are members of belong to Him. We are just tools He uses in His garden of salvation, unworthy earthen vessels chosen to carry His precious word through out a dying land that all might live.

The word of God tells us this life we now live in the flesh, we now live through Christ. We have no say so as what we will or will not do. We are His servant, He is the master we are His bond servants. It is not about our will, our wants or even who we are. It is not about our salvation but the Savior who saved us all. They are not our souls we were told to compel to come to the Lord. It is not up to us who is or is not worthy to hear the good news. Jesus said go out and proclaim it to ever creature. Just like we don't know who is going to hell, we also don't know who is going to heaven, regardless of how many tickets they have in their hand. Jesus told us to proclaim the gospel to every creature. It is not our church, or even our ministry, we are just ministers in the ministry of Christ. We are members of the Church of the living God. Jesus said" upon this rock I build MY Church", not your church or your ministry. We don't even have a say as to where in the body we want to be, for it says "God has placed each member, everyone of them in the body where it pleased Him".

When and only when we truly come to realize this is about Christ and Him crucified,then and only then can we be effective workers in His vineyards bringing in the sheaves.
