Amos
3:3 Can two walk together except they agree.
You are welcome to STRETCH YOUTH SUMMIT. In this month of
May, we shall be looking into a topic the Holy Spirit has instructed me to
teach through His Grace. Last month (April),
we looked into the issue of ‘DANCE WITH
ME’ and the Lord was able to deal with certain issues we’ve over looked.
Praise
God!
Today, from our text
for this seminar, I want you to know that the ability to agree and walk with
people is God’s intention and plan. This seminar is going to be the
continuation of last month’s seminar (Dance
with me).
Last month we discussed
that we have being created to dance and dancing lies in every thing. Its God’s
will for us to dance with the Holy Spirit, dance alone and dance with the
people surrounding our lives. In this seminar, I will be using the terms of ‘dancing’ for ‘walking.’
Dancing according to
the last seminar was all about how to dance
with the Holy Spirit, how to dance
with your self and how to dance
with the people around you. In today seminar, we shall continue by making you
to see that dancing is
actually walking.
What
is walking?
According to our case
study in Amos 3:3 – You will understand that walking is all about cooperating,
and teamwork. It requires a willful agreement on both sides.
Jesus is our standard
and in his earthly ministry, his foot
prints, he left behind for us to come and walk in. He was able to set a guide
line for us to follow. This foot prints have become the constitution of love,
every human in Christ must stick to if they must succeed in life. The
constitution of love is the constitution of life because life without love is
full of hurts and pain. In other to conquer pain and hurt, get the constitution
of love (the foot prints of Jesus).
The Foot prints which
serves as the constitution of love is not a thing or object but it is a
lifestyle, or a system, operating as a person. This foot print can be seen in
three dimensions which are as follows
-
My world
-
Your world.
-
Our world.
Talking about ‘world,’
I want you to see it as a method, a pattern or a system. Jesus dwell and
operate in these three dimensions, leaving them for us as foot prints which is
the constitution of love for believers in Christ.
My
World…
My world is what can be
described as who I am and the system that runs in my life. This is a fixed
reality through the intention of God for my life. My world is my life and every
thing God has ordained for it to be.
Just like we learnt in
our last month seminar (dance with me),
my world is all about my song. In a clear tense, my world is all about my
purpose, my calling, my vision and my assignment in Christ Jesus.
My world is all about
my talent, my skills, my ideas and how God has designed them to function. My
world is my world because it is different from every other world. It is not
different in nature but it is different in system or rhythm. That is to say,
I’m human living among my fellow human but I function in a specific unique way (according to the expectation of God).
My world is who I am in
Christ. My world is the kind of knowledge the Holy Spirit reveals to me. My
world is the kind of understanding and wisdom the Holy Spirit permits me to
access. My world is the nature of my character, my mind-set and my manner of
approach.
My world is how God has
designed me to function and this is attached to the intention of God for my
life. I can’t just live, talk and do things like every body. I was not created
by God to be every thing, be every where and do every thing. God created me to
be a specific personality and I have my limitations. My limitation is dictated
by his purpose for creating me.
My world is the
platform for the expression of God’s plan for my life. Is the place where every
prophecy, vision and dreams ordained by God comes to reality. This is a place
where God relates with me personally according to his personal interest for my
life.
Jesus had his own world
and before he started his ministry, he found where it was written about his
world contains and what should be expected from his world. He read and I quote;
the Spirit of the Lord is upon ME
for he has anointed ME to
preach the Gospel. That scripture was about him and him alone. That is his
world. Other people can behave different and go free but as for him, he is bond
by that statement because that is what God has ordained for his life.
My world is a system
God has programmed to be FRAMED
through this scripture. My world is the REVELATIONAL
TRUTH about me and my existence. My world is who I am and who I am is the
function of what I have discovered in the scriptures about my life. My world is
who the word of God reveals me to be.
