5 – The Grace of God
2 – A Faithful Witness and Being Set Apart
And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
– Ephesians 5:2 NKJV
Grace to Advance
Religion trains us to think the worst thing that can happen is to do something wrong — to fail. But Jesus teaches the worst thing that can happen is for you to do nothing at all! Are you ready to fight through this with me?
In Matthew 25, Jesus tells a story about a man who was afraid to do what his master had commissioned him to. Instead of taking the master’s coin to the marketplace and gaining more, for fear of losing the one coin, he simply did nothing. When the master returned from a trip, the man gave him back the single coin. The response is shocking…
You wicked and lazy servant… you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming, I would have received back my own with interest… take the (coin) from him… and cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” – Matthew 25:14-30
Apparently, God takes advancement and multiplication very seriously. In this parable, His wrath is displayed not at mistakes made in moving forward but in the mistake of refusing to move at all. Don’t miss this point!
Jesus came to give us abundant life. To reject it out of fear is to say His sacrifice is not enough. And if it’s not enough for you, it’s surely not enough for your friends, family, and co-workers, so there’s no need to share Jesus with them. If this is your mindset, you will never advance His kingdom or His plan for your life. You don’t want to hear yourself asking, “Why is it so hot in here, and how did I get in this handbasket?”
Grounded in Faith
Declare!
It is time to step out in faith and “Go for it!” God has not given me a spirit of fear, but power, love and a sound mind. He is calling me out of the valleys and into the hills where there is no place for fear. I love the Lord and will stand up and Go wherever He sends me.
