A CALL TO KNOW THE LORD!
Many people struggle with life because they have not or do not build their lives on Christ and all that He is. Some who grew from religious homes never really endeavoured to know Christ for themselves except for the sermon on the pulpits in the churches they visited or attended. Others build assurance in the seemingly perfectly moral picture they have created of themselves over time. Many more stay glued to online and TV ministries to have a sense of spiritual awakening or consciousness. But your life needs to be fully structured on the person of Christ else it will not work, neither would it count as anything in eternity.
For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
- I Corinthians 3:11 NKJV
As a little boy, I always saw my parents engage our family in a morning fellowship. We had Bible studies and prayer. Everybody would share their take-home from the session. Later in our adult lives, many of these routine activities would go on to shape the foundation I needed to know the Lord, hunger for more of Him, and manifest Him; and I didn't need to be a preacher then. In recent time past, when I had always had personal struggles in my walk with the Lord, because it was built on a foundation, and with systems, structures and patterns, I am not only able to revitalise my spirit, but also stay aflame, bring others into fellowship with the Lord, and do exploits.
When Jesus began his earthly ministry, he would often take his disciples away from the crowds into the mountains: for fellowship with the Father and among themselves, and to culture the twelve whom he had chosen. For three and half years they stayed with him. Not only did their lives change. They also got to be transformed to look like the master and carry along to their generation the news of His saving power and grace. When they stayed with Jesus, they got 'made'.
[13] Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. - Acts 4:13 NKJV
There have been truths in God's word and in the kingdom that have been responsible for growth, establishment and exploits of the saints. All these foster understanding through structures in the kingdom that enable us to have the experiences of heaven in our character and everyday experiences. All these said, the focus of all things is that all men may look like Christ, and to be MADE, you must follow after Christ.
