The responsibility of our call in Christ

You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
John 15:16 (NKJV)

World Changer: *God’s grace allowed us that Christ chose us to be his beloved disciples and to be able to share the gift of our salvation so that many may be saved and enjoy eternal life with Jesus in heaven.
God wants us to take much fruit and that the fruit may stay in us his children, the ones that have been born again so that everything we ask the Father in the name of Jesus, He can give us.
Each person that now walks in the will of God may remember the circumstances in which they were living before surrendering to Christ and realize that they were walking in an aimless life, without peace, without hope living in an uncontrollable depression, until the moment they repented and had an encounter with God and received Jesus into his heart as his King and Lord (Romans 10:8-13).
*Therefore, because we were called to be servants of God, now our responsibility is to reach many souls that are totally destroyed and live looking for false hopes that the world offers and that is why we, as God’s children have the responsibility to teach them what the Bible says about Jesus, because He is the only way, the truth and the life to be reconciled with God and go back to Him (John 14:6).
Let us have as a goal to love Christ and his call on us, because it is the only thing that will have value the day we stand before Him to give an account and verify if we did and were faithful in what He commanded us to do.
Today is your day of salvation if you declare Jesus your King and Lord, your hope of glory and your victory to change the world (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Our focus is on Christ

Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:10-11 (NKJV)

World Changer: Strengthening our call is an urgency for all those Christians who wish to remain firm, against the adversities with which the world tries to distract us and separate us from God. Strengthening our calling is spending daily time in prayer, listening to God as a child does with his Father. Strengthening our call is spending time studying the Bible, to get to know God more every day and we can understand our call.
*If we do all of the above, then by God’s grace He will keep us from falling and to walk firm in his eternal purpose.
*It is a priority to understand our call since our qualification in heaven will be based exclusively on how much we obeyed God in all the things He commanded us to do. It may be that he gives us five talents, or three talents, or just one, but in any case, we never bury any of those talents, rather we have the responsibility of multiplying them, because if we were faithful in a little, then God will give us much when we reach eternity with Him (Matthew 25:14-30).
*It means that God will not qualify us for trying to imitate the calling of other people, but for specifically identifying our calling, because from there God will make the decision of where we will spend eternity.
Our focus always has to be to seek and do God’s will by his grace and in his way and not ours. Therefore, if we live focused on Christ and pleasing him in our daily lives, it will be almost impossible to slip and lose our calling, because the power of God will always sustain us as children obedient to his will.
Today is your day of salvation and to strengthen yourself in your calling and purpose, so that Christ may be your hope of glory and your victory to change the world (Romans 10:8-13, Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57 ). Hallelujah.

We walk by faith and not by sight

For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)

World Changer: When we surrender to Jesus and start to live a new life we need to learn that our lives will be based in our faith in God and not in human reasonings like it happened before believing in Jesus.
Faith is the certainty of what you wait and the conviction of what you don’t see, this means that from our relationship with Jesus our responsibility is to be each moment praying and believing that our prayers will be answered in the time and way God decides.
By faith we understand how God constituted the universe, by the word that He declared, so that everything that we now enjoy was made of what was not seen (Hebrews 11:1-3).
We are also taught about many heroes in faith such as Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, and many more who lived according to their faith and some died without having fully received what was promised, but looked at it from afar and believed and they understood that this would happen, even though they left this land because they were only pilgrims and foreigners (Hebrews chapter 11).
*Now, we also have a personal challenge to maintain our faith in the promises that God has given us, in which we must trust that they will be fulfilled, be it in us or in our generations because God is looking at the long term and even for the future eternity our calling as children of God.
Therefore, may the circumstances that sorround our lives not be affected because God wants us to maintain our faith in Him above all of what is happening this moment arround us, believing that God wants the best for us if we stay firm by his grace in our call.
Today is your day to believe in Jesus Christ and surrender to Him, to be saved and for Jesus to be your King and Lord, your hope of glory and your victory to change the world (Romans 10:8-13, Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Faith in God is to believe without seeing

For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)

World Changer: Abraham is the person with greater faith of which the Bible relates that he walked without ever looking back, or doubting all the advice that day by day he heard from God.
God commanded him to leave his land, relatives and his father’s house, to go to a place that still did not even have a name, but nevertheless he believed, obeyed and left.
Abraham surely being a man of advanced age was comfortably established in the lands of his father, and he would inherit them without a doubt, but he preferred to go out without looking and obeying his Creator.
Abraham left as God had told him and immediately after he had to go through a famine in the land that forced him to descend to Egypt risking his life, that of his wife and that of his tribe and God also gave him the victory during that time of need.
*We, the Christians that have been born again, are going to be demanded by God to have this same faith and we can be sure that each one will be asked something different to leave behind, and begin to trust in the promises of God so that he can take us to the promised land that He has prepared for us.
Now it is very important that on this day we stop and ask ourselves how much we have understood about eternity that really is our final destination? We are not walking only by the needs and promises that God gives us to live in this world: food, room and clothing, but we are fighting a battle day by day to be in our heavenly abode when we reach eternity with Christ.
That faith has to be the one that today is the foundation of our Christian walk and today is the day if you have not yet believed in Jesus to come to Him (Romans 10: 8-13).
Christ in us our world-changing hope of glory (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Christ in me and not me

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)

World Changer: It has to be very clear to us what Christian means and it is nothing less than a person who with Christ is crucified together and no longer lives, but now only Christ lives in him, and the faith of the Son of God is that which accompanies him until the last day of his walk here in the Earth.
A Christian has given the place of his life to Jesus, and now allows him to be the one to guide, advise, govern, instruct, and everything that person needs now will depend on his relationship and intimacy with Jesus and obviously if this person is given to Christ, rivers of living water will flow over his life and the love, grace and mercy of Jesus in him.
*We must imagine a vehicle driver that decides not to drive anymote and give control of the steering wheel to an expert, and so we come to be when we give Jesus full dominion and authority to direct every step of our life. He can take us to the end of our journey, which will be nothing less than heaven and eternity with Him and with our Heavenly Father, but the price will be to die to ourselves, to our Self and to our carnal ideas that brought so much destruction before convert (Colossians chapter 1).
Today is the day to give God the wheel of your life if you haven’t already (Romans 10: 8-13).
May God’s mercy and grace allow us to make Christ our hope of glory and our victory to preach to the world (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

God’s mercy has kept us

By the mercy of the Lord we have not been consumed; His mercy has never been exhausted! Lamentations 3:22 (CRV)

World Changer: God’s word will always be a balm for those who embrace and love her and who guide their lives through her. Reading the Bible has to become a habit in us because from it every day we will take advice that will impact a thousand generations as God told Moses (Deuteronomy 7: 9).
Before Christ, many of us were guided by our thoughts or feelings (the flesh), many of us went to consult soothsayers and fortune-tellers, all of which God hates (Deuteronomy 18: 9-13) and obviously that was a curse that brought to us life destruction for our families, relationships with other people, our jobs, in short a total bankruptcy due to not knowing our Lord Jesus Christ or having not received Him in our hearts as our Savior.
The Christians that now read the Bible have understood that God was many times at the door of our hearts knocking so that we would open to Him to fix and change everything that was t destroyed (Revelation 3:20), but many didn’t open and we waited until everything was totally destroyed to open the door and let Jesus enter in us (Revelation 3:21-22).
*Let us learn this day that God’s mercy chose us before the foundation of the world to be received as children of the Most High but this only happens when we voluntarily deliver ourselves to Him (Ephesians Chapter 1 and 2).
If we want to understand our past, present and future, let’s spend time meditating on the Word of God in the Holy Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to remove any veil that prevents us from understanding how vast and precious are the promises of eternity that we have because of our faith in Christ and His mercy.
Today is your day to embrace the mercy of Jesus if you haven’t already (Romans 10: 8-13).
Christ in us our hope of glory and our world-changing victory (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Giving testimony of the Gospel of grace

But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

Acts 20:24
New King James Version (NKJV)

World Changer:
Each Christian that has been born again must have this same compromise that Apostle Paul mentions here and he or she must behave ignoring the lies and threats of this world and put Jesus in first place to be able to also finish the race in this earth with great joy, giving testimonty to all of the wonderful work that Jesuschrist did in His life through the Gospel of grace.
When we talk about God’s grace, we are not only referring to the gift of salvation that Jesus has given us through His sacrifice on the cross and resurrection from the dead but we also refer that Jesus has placed His risen life within us and by that same grace we have died to sin and the sinful life of Adam, being born again in holiness (Romans 6: 1-14).
*Also the Gospel of grace allows us to live day by day in holiness because we no longer depend on our own strength but from the power of the Holy Spirit that God gave us from the day we were converted to Christ. And for that reason we have now been made children of God (Romans chapter 8).
Today is the day for anyone who wishes to receive this great salvation by grace, ask Jesus for forgiveness for all their sins, repent of them, and invite Him into their hearts to be their King and Lord (Romans 10: 8 -13).
May God’s grace always allow Christ to be in us the hope of glory and our world-changing victory (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Purpose and grace of God

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:10 (NKJV)

World Changer: All born again Christians can embrace this beautiful scripture because that is God’s heart when He looks to each one of His children, of those chosen that He predestined and who opened their hearts to their Creator and received Him as a beloved Father.
God wants us to understand that the ransom of our life was paid with a very high price because it was the precious blood of His Son Jesus Christ and that is why those of us who now serve the Lord, we need to understand His eternal purpose so that we are not entertained in pleasures and temporary things of this life and of course that to achieve it we will need the grace of God acting in us.
Apostle Paul begged three times to God so that he would take away a weakness that he had, but God answered that he would not do it, that he would leave it in the life of Paul, so that this Apostle would understand that in his weakness, God was going to glorify himself. So he could live in peace trusting in God’s power and purpose for him (2 Corinthians 12: 1-10).
*Also in our weakness we will need of God’s grace tu fulfill His eternal purpose to receive Jesus’s holiness in us and to be able to walk in the process of sanctification that starts since the day of our conversion.
So no one trust in their own strength or talents to obey God, because we will be what He wants by His grace. Today is your day of salvation if you have not yet surrendered to Jesus (Romans 10: 8-13).
May God’s grace allow Christ to always be our only hope of glory and our victory to change the world (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Our awakening is to the glory of God

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31 (NKJV)

World Changer: Apostle Peter gives us an excellent explanation and teaches us that each born again Christian, according to the gift he or she had received, he or she must minister to others, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. And if anyone speaks, let him do so according to the words of God; And if anyone ministers, he should minister according to the power that God gives, so that in everything God may be glorified by Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and all the empire for ever and ever (1 Peter 4: 10-11).
This great responsibility has to be a priority for the Christians that are fighting against the opposition of this world, knowing that what is good is called bad and that they want to institute everything bad and consider it very good (Isaiah 5:20).
Throughout our walk on this earth, the Bible says that trials will come of which we should not be surprised, but rejoice because we are participating in the sufferings of Christ, so that when His glory is revealed and we are in eternity with Him, which is our final goal, we will rejoice with great joy (1 Peter 4: 12-13).
*Therefore, none suffers as a criminal or for meddling in someone else’s; But if anyone suffers as a Christian, do not be ashamed but glorify God for it, for that will bring great reward when we stand in front of the judgment seat of Christ (1 Peter 4: 15-16, 2 Corinthians 5:10).
If you still do not know that you were created to participate in the glory of God, today is the day that you can surrender to Jesus, ask Him to forgive you all your sins and invite Him to live in your heart as your King and Lord (Romans 10: 8- 13).
Christ in us our hope of glory and our victory that will allow us to preach the gospel to change the world (Matthew 28: 19-20, Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.

Servants of all for the love of Christ

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.
2 Corinthians 4:5 (NKJV)

World Changer: Before being born again Christians we all lived in sin far away from God’s will until by the grace of our Lord Jesuschrist it was revealed to us the Gospel that was undercover among the ones that get lost, among those that walked blind and unbelieving without the Word of God and the glory of Christ shining on us.
But from the day we converted and the life of Christ shone on us, then darkness was gone and the light came to our hearts to be able to have faith and hope in the Son of God (2 Corinthians 4:1-6).
Being a servant of God means not only being under the will of Jesus, but also that we can serve everyone, especially the family of faith (Galatians 6:10).
In the Gospel of John our Lord Jesuschrist speaks very deeply about what it means to be a servant, which He proclaimed Himself. And His testimony accompanied Him when before the Passover feast, He washed the feet of His disciples to the surprise of all of them, but He told them that now they would not understand it but they would do it later.
Jesus said you call me Master and Lord because I am, so if I have done this with you, you also wash each other’s feet. If they learn these things, they will be blessed if they do them (John 13: 1-17).
*Today, we too may not have had the privilege of washing someone’s feet but we can serve and love our neighbor as true servants and children of the Most High, so that those same promises of blessing may also reach us.
Today is the day of salvation (Romans 10: 8-13).
Christ in us our hope of glory and our world-changing victory (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57). Hallelujah.
