The kind of quality that God requires from His warrior
nowadays is not the usual kind of trait. How long you have been a Christian is
never a matter when it comes to the end of the world, the same thing goes to
the frequency of you attending every program your church has developed, or
every service your church held, it is NEVER a matter.
What matters in the eyes of God is about how far
you let yourself to be shaped and created by God, so at the end you will come
out in the exact shape with the total fulfillment of God’s requirement to be
His bride.
Speaking of being shaped and created, one of the ways to execute it is for us
to be processed
Usually, in the journey of being the obedient Christian, you
may find yourself at one particular time when you disagree with God. And that
is very normal. Being processed, being battered and bruised come
hand-in-hand. To be the eagle in your Christianity life, you have to be renewed
in order to be powerful again. If we look more closely in the case of an eagle,
when its getting old its starting to lose its strength and when
eagles are about 30 years old, they go through a renewal process. They find a secret place high in
the mountains and begin to claw at their
face and tear out the feathers that have
been damaged over the years. As a result, it bleeds badly. But this is necessary for the eagle in order to renew its strength. If it did not do this,
it would not be able to live to its normal
60 years of age.
And what eagles teach
us about our Christianity life? Sometimes, God will reveal when it is the right
time for you to really have to let go of things. God wants us His child to
learn to let go of disappointment and debt, because those who owe you will
never be able to pay their debt. Instead, Jesus sacrificed Himself to pay the
debt that He did not owe you, and that’s MORE THAN ENOUGH for a total lifetime.
For you to be
qualified, firstly let go of what is weighing you down, remember you can never
be able to soar upwards if you are still holding on to what aging you
spiritually and what holding you back in the fulfillment of God’s destiny in
your life. Let go of the ownership of your own self, you are not the owner of
your life, God is! Therefore, let His will be fully happening in your everyday
life, in every breath that you inhale. Maybe, we suffer a lot, we suffer more
than those whom we know in life, we think of how unfair life is, maybe there
are a lot of struggle to follow Jesus because it is a
big deal to enter the
promise land of God.
So I pray for us to
experience the fulfillment and completion of the promise of God not just
because of our action, what we have done or what we have been giving out to
Jesus because honestly our action will never be enough to compete with the
greatness of God’s promises. Let us experience God in a whole new dimension and
high level because of our commitment to Him, because of our heart for Him.
