Am I Doing Great Things For The Kingdom Of God?
May 11, 2020
We are celebrating our American Independence Day this week on the 4th of July. This holiday is a significant reminder of the sacrifice that our forefathers did on our behalf to gain freedom and independence. Jesus was our great sacrifice, who stood in our place to die for our sins, so we could be free from death. How many people understand freedom is not free, it comes at a cost? Jesus paid the price and not only did he give us freedom and life but he allowed us to reconciled back to our Father in Heaven. Jesus redeemed us so we could continue His ministry after He returned back to the Father.
John 14:12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
As followers of Christ we are called, anointed and appointed by God to do greater works than Jesus did. You are a joint heir with Jesus and a son or daughter of the most high. You are called to ministry as a messenger, king and a priest. All these roles are part of your true spiritual identity as a citizen of Heaven.
You can know your identity but not walk in the power that God gives to His children. Identity without power is not going to further the Kingdom, it is not going to take back territory from the enemy, it is not going to heal the sick.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere... Acts 1:8
Jesus did miracles because God was with Him. God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power and He went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil for God was with Him. Acts 10:38
· Jesus delivered the captives because He was anointed with the Holy Spirit and power
· Jesus had results because the anointing is for action
· No anointing, no power, no action
· For 30 years there were no recorded miracles of Jesus, yet He was just as much the Son of God for 30 years as He was for the 3 ½ years of public ministry
· Jesus was born of the Spirit of God
· Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost
· He had all the nature and character of God for He was fully God and fully man
· But His public ministry did not begin until He was baptized in the Jordan river and the Spirit of God descended upon Him in the form of a dove and God anointed Him at the time
Do you need a fresh anointing? When life's struggles and stress begin to tear down your anointing, it's time to come back to your Father. Every day you need a fresh touch of God to see the results of God on your life. Jesus was our example, as He maintained a fresh anointing by seeking the presence of His Father in His life.
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are Sons of God.
You are called for such a time as this! God wanted you here at this time and place for a reason. As a follower of Jesus, your purpose is to carry on His ministry to the ends of the earth. Spend time with the Father, you will find your anointing and spiritual power return! Share the Good News of freedom that Jesus paid for.
