The enemy has a new weapon, well it I snot really new it is just disguised differently. It is called pride, but it is hidden in a cloak of false humility which leads people to unknowingly take glory from God and at times defile the work of the cross. Many today profess to have ministries that is theirs which they claim to be doing God's work. We can't save anybody so how can we have a ministry which professes to do the work of the Lord. It is not our salvation, or gospel or even our souls. It is not our church, so how could it be our ministry, we are just ministers who serve in the ministry of Christ. We are members of the Church of the living God, workers in His vineyard. Jesus said" upon this rock I build MY Church", and the ministry you have been blessed to serve in still belongs to Him.
The word of God tells us this life we now live in the flesh,we now live through Christ, it is not us who live but He now lives through us.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 compell 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.
When and only when we truly come to realize this is about Christ and Him crucified, when we come to the knowledge that God didn't leave any part of salvation up to us for He said "you didn't choose me, I chose you", because we didn't have enough since to choose Jesus. Remember we shouted give me Barabbas. But we were chosen for His will, out of His goodness and to serve His purpose. So let us remember the true JOY of salvation "Jesus-Others-Yourself", and let us stand united as the redeemed of the Lord say so.
