You are welcome to this post and as we move on, I want you to know we are here to learn from each
other.
Behind the Mask is an
issue among humans today but the Lord has revealed a way out. We are going to
look into this revelation step by step.
What Is A Mask?
Mask is not an object.
It is a lifestyle, a personality, a
nature, pretence, masquerade, disguise, camouflage, make – believe,
concealment, showing off, front wall, costume, deceit, deception, cover up,
hide, uniform, concealing outfit, routine, mannerism, habit, and practice of a life God has not ordain for your life.
Why Do People Wear This
Mask?
People wear this mask for
different reasons. Some of these reasons are fear, worries, doubts,
confusion, ignorance, insecurity, assumption and presumption. They wear this mask because they want to feel secured,
they want to feel accepted and they want to have a sense of belonging among the
people around their lives. They want to hide their past.
How Is This Mask?
This mask manifests
through attitude, thinking pattern
and manner of approach.

THE
WAY OUT
Matthew 11:28
Come
unto me, ALL ye that labour and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 4:19
And he saith unto them,
Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Romans 12:1 – 2
I beseech you
therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good,
and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Isaiah 43: 1 – 2
But now thus saith the
LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for
I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will
be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou
walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame
kindle upon thee.
Jeremiah 29:11
For
I know the thoughts that I think toward you,
saith the
LORD, thoughts
of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
1 Peter 2:9 – 10
But
ye are
a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an
holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him
who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; Which in time past were not a people, but are
now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained
mercy.
Revelation 1: 5 – 6
And
from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and
the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins
in his own blood, And hath made us kings and
priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and
ever. Amen.
Jeremiah
1:5
Before I formed thee in
the belly I knew thee;
and before thou camest forth out of the womb I
sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
John 15:3
NOW YE ARE
CLEAN through the word which I have spoken unto you.
COME
UNTO ME
+ FOLLOW ME
= RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
AND
I WILL GIVE YOU REST
+ AND I WILL MAKE YOU
= PREPARATION.
FOLLOW ME
There is an
instruction before us. “Follow me” is an instruction of which you have the
choice to obey or ignore. This introduces the fact that relationship is needed.
For you to follow; there must be a relationship between you and Him. This
instruction is a call into relationship. It’s an invitation into relationship.
It’s an instruction that leads one into a relationship with the Father.
One of the major
things you must hold on to is the fact that, God is more interested in having a
relationship with you than you being perfect. Your perfection lies in your
relationship with the Father. Without Him you can do nothing. He is interested
in having you back. You were lost and now, He has bought you back. He is more
interested in reconnecting with His lost Son.
He knows you are
not perfect and complete. He knows you are out of shape. He knows you are
naked. He knows you are confused and out of touch with His plans and purpose
for your life. You don’t know need to be afraid because He knows you.
The first thing
on God’s mind is; He wants you back and He needs a constant relationship with
you. Through that relationship He will make you complete and perfect for His
plans and purpose for your life.
A personal
relationship with God is the only platform where God has room to make and
prepare you into His own desires. Without it, a personal self development is
impossible. No spiritual growth without a personal relationship with God.
The starting
point of your relationship with the Father is “DIVINE ENCOUNTER.” This brings
you to the place of God’s Grace and Salvation.
God is
interested in having a personal relationship with you. His relationship with
you is defined. There is a drive behind Him seeking a relationship with you.
This drive is specific in nature; Divine
Purpose and Plan.
There is a plan
God wants you to discover and fulfill. Behind this plan is a motive. There is
an expectation behind that plan which is His purpose. These are the content of the
relationship God is seeking to have and share with you. For His end expectation,
He is willing to accept you the way you are. For the sake of His plan and
purpose for your life, He has forgotten your faults and mistakes. He’s greatest
expectation is you opening your heart to discover, know and understand His plan
and purpose for your life.
The starting
point of your relationship with God is an Encounter with God. God will draw you
close to himself for His plan and purpose.
AND I WILL MAKE YOU
You are not made
outside. You must enter the house through the door. You are part of the family.
He will make you within His relationship with you. In the process of His relationship
with you, He will make you. He will complete you. He will make you perfect in
every aspect of your life.
Every making has
a pattern. Every making process is specific in Nature. Every making process
carries the end expectation of God for your life.
I
= Father - Word – Holy Spirit.
WILL
= If you co – operates, willing or submits…
MAKE
= Prepare, design, train, adjust, complete, perfect…
YOU = Attitude,
Mind-set, Manner of Approach, Potential…
May the Holy Spirit grant you the understand and wisdom to break free from this mask in
your life in Jesus Name.
Jesus loves you so much.
You are Royal.
