II. Zeal for Stewardship.
III. Limitless Boon.
INTRODUCTION
In the last series of this discuss, as enabled by God's infinitude of Grace , we were availed the capability to treat this thesis from its exordium to the first SUBHEADINGS - '' the law giver " today as much as the ever Gracious LIVING LORD GOD had granted us this opportunity, we will take the discuss to conclusion.
Howbeit Church, this thesis will be restrained to Scriptures, which is a completion, in perfection of TRUE WORSHIP methodology , which is in absolution , exercised by PRIMEVAL FAITHFUL TRUE WORSHIPERS OF THE LIVING LORD GOD, whose SACRIFICIAL conduct of worship, were , in the absolution of God's Gracious Will inscribed in SCRIPTURES , for the church to follow suit ,as to satisfy the RUDIMENT OF TRUE WORSHIP.
II. ZEAL FOR STEWARDSHIP: From our text in Gen 22: 1--18, in verse number 3 precise, you note the very duetro proto church Partraich, ABRAHAM , who in the will of Service, " rose up early in the morning" took his two young men , and took Isaac his son, the supposed victim for Sacrifice, and clave the wood for burnt offering, and rose up , and went into the place, of which God Almighty had told him.
From this scenario, you espy in convinction , ABRAHAM was so willing,in his fellowship with The Living Lord God. Willingness in Worship,breeds zeal for Stewardship, absent which there is, and can be no fellowship betwixt God Almighty and humankind.
The zeal is the fervency for Stewardship, Which encompasses the WILL, EMOTION, and INTELLECT for Worship, in which absence involved in worship, there in definition of absolution of True Worship, can be no completion of perfection of Sacrifice, hence ,no concomitancy of boon , which essence is Worship instituted .
See please, Gen 4:3--14, contrast now, Gen 8: 14--22, compare further please, 2 Chro 7: 1--22. Zeal for Stewardship is evident of commitment to worship, demonstrated in the Will to obey God Almighty, and the EMOTION to Sacrifice the SELF for GOD, in exercised INTELLECT to the knowledge of the requisite standard of the laws of God Almighty, as accomplished in HIS GRACE OF SERVICE.
From these references scriptural, King Solomon , whose name imply "" peaceful English" , "selim Aramaic" or " Frederick German" , his zeal for Stewardship to God Almighty, in his Willingness to build the temple , his Emotions for God, in the Sacrifices he made to accomplish the building of the temple, and his Intellect, in his study, and understanding of the temple architechtural plan , and building it in line with the plan, the required furnishing, cm necessary sacrificial victims needed for the dedication.
This process , when King Solomon in absolution of completion of perfection of Sacrificed Worship, concluded the Service, poised The Living Lord God, to release the due boon ,in respect to such SACRIFICIAL TRUE WORSHIP . Please, Church of Jesus Christ, note, King Solomon Sacrificed his time and energy to -
1. Survey the building plan of the temple.
2. See to it , the building was executed according to architectural plan.
3. See to it , the building was done according to the quality survey plan.
4. See to it , the temple finishing, cm furnishing, are in consonance with the stipulations of the book of the law, as provided.
5. To understand the need for the temple dedication, cm the quality of victims required as burnt offering { Sacrifices } unto The Living Lord God.
6. To understand The Living Lord God,in HIS capacity does not reside in edifices, as man does, thus had to reason with God Almighty in prayers to allow HIS divine Presence abode in the temple, to meet the need of Israel.
7. To understand the temple is not he's , but God's, and thus a meeting point betwixt Israel and God Almighty, thus hand over such property to The Living Lord God, who owns the Church.
So then church of Jesus Christ, to be True stewards of Jesus Christ, it is not in mere confession , rather, will be demonstrated in zeal for Stewardship, absent the slightest ulterior motives , away from which, there can not be Sacrifice, thus no True Worship.
Compare now please, Gen 6: 2--22. From this instance scriptural, it is deducible, the entirety of humanity suscepted to the trend of the devil, and pleasure gotten therein, against God's rule, save Noah , which restraint made him find favour in the sight of God Almighty, so much that The Living Lord God,decided to acquaint him with the destruction of the earth to come, through the vehicle of the deluge; and HIS intent to save Noah and family, by Noah making the gopher ark , of specified structure, breath, and length.
From this ensample, you note , had Noah not Sacrificed his SELF desires for God's rule, he would not have met the standard of fellowship with God Almighty, as to be informed, and have the directives of escape, and preservation of the animal life there after.
Note here Church of Jesus Christ, Noah Sacrificed his time to-
1. Listen to GOD ALMIGHTY, understand the deluge must be.
2. Understand, and lay down the architectural plan of the ark.
3. Lay down the quality, and quantity survey plan of the ark.
4. See to it , the ark was constructed according to survey plan ,cum quality assurance.
5. See to it the ark was completed on time, strict to quality control.
6. See to it he selected all living creatures, as specified to be in the ark ,male and female.
7. See to it all living creatures selected , cm his house hold enter the ark , and made sure ,he shut the entree properly.
Church of Jesus Christ, if Noah had not Sacrificed his entire being, WILL, EMOTION , and INTELLECT to worship, there in no wise would have been any bond betwixt him , and The Living Lord God, hence no fellowship, as such , no SAVING GRACE utilized, thus , no blessings in turn.
Compare now please, Philp 2:12. From this immediate text scriptural, espousing, it is in all clarity, salvation has been availed, but work must be done , in the fear of God Almighty, to obey HIS LAW, in absolution, " as though one in perfection of completion of fear shiver " in strict adherence to scriptures, in commitment of the WILL , EMOTION , and INTELLECT, to Service, having known every disobedience, is punishable before The Living Lord God.
See now please, Exd 34: 6--7, compare also, Heb 12: 23--29. In our contemporary time, the church of Jesus Christ, is seeking after signs and wonders, and miracles, absent the slightest move made , to Sacrifice the SELF for such worship, unlike the early church, who layed down themselves in Sacrifice for such Services.
Please compare Acts 4: 1--37. In this scriptural inference, you note Apostles Peter and John, who in the demonstration of their zeal for Stewardship, Sacrificed their time, in the praying culture, of the church, as founded in Judaism, see Acts 3: 1--26, wherefore they encountered the lame man in the temple gate ,named beautiful.
Being committed to Service as adherents of The Living Lord Jesus Christ, much more adent to HIS injunctions, to heal the sick, on the instance , in zeal for Stewardship, they discharged such obligation, in perfected absolution; upon which the lame man received instant deliverance, which action of virtue, grieved the Priests, captain of the temple, and sadducees, in that they do not want the good news of the death , and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ cascaded.
So then ,they apprehended the, Apostles Peter and John, till the next day, and threatened them after some private deliberation amongst themselves, never to speak the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ further; which threats made no impact upon the Apostles, who having been with our Lord Jesus Christ for three , and half a year, ante very moment, had Sacrificed in absolution, their lives, in perfection of the completion in the three constituents of their being. - WILL, EMOTION, and INTELLECT.
So , resultant then, had in perfection, the understanding of the personality of our Lord Jesus Christ, HIS doctrine, and essence of the gospel, to humankind, which so gave them, the boldness, to resist and silence ,such most dangerous assaults of the devil on the Kingdom of God Almighty. Hence they approached The Living Lord God in prayers , received much more unction, from HIM , and in boldness, function more optimal in spreading the gospel of TRUTH.
Were this incidence , in our contemporary time,, the church will give into this assaults of the devil, owing to absence of zeal for Stewardship, having not committed the Will, Emotion , and INTELLECT, to WORSHIP.
Church of Jesus Christ, since it takes three witnesses to establish any case in scripture permission, let us see another instance in Mt 4: 1--23. Here , is in completion, an eptome of calling into Christian ministry, and zeal for Stewardship in perfection. The Living Lord Jesus Christ, walking by the sea side of Galilee, saw Peter and Andrew the brother, in their business of fishing, then Jesus Christ, in the intent to make disciples for building of the church , and spreading of HIS gospel,called them to follow HIM, in the new business of soul winning for God Almighty.
In this foundation laying of the church of Jesus Christ, , cm the writing of scripture, the contemporary church utilize, you note these Apostles, in zeal for Stewardship , evident in the Sacrifice of their trio components of being, immediate, abandoned their occupation, and followed Jesus Christ our Lord, for indoctrination , and church planting, doctored ,in God's perfected absolution of WILL.
Please compare ,Mt 16:18, see also please, Acts 8: 1--8. From these Scripture instances, you note in the book of Mathew, The Lord Jesus Christ, establish on firm basement , likened to the rigidity of the rock ;HIS CHURCH, this being so certain an assertion, in the book of Acts, you note Saul's zeal in Judaism demonstrated in persecution of the church of Jesus Christ, entering their houses, arrested, and imprisoned them ,both male and female.
This very havoc upon the Church of Jesus Christ, wrought by Saul prior his conversion, never cause the early church deny the FAITH , rather they scattered , abroad spreading the gospel as they moved on. In this scenario, you observe, the early church, did Sacrifice in zeal for Stewardship -
1. Their lives.
2. The comfort of their homes.
3. The comfort of their businesses.
And so were able to make remarkable impact upon the earth with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, with divine signs and wonders following. On a vivid overview , of the overall comportment of the early church, in respect to scripture adherence, you understand they yielded ,in absolution, where perfection is paramount, to their aim of Service, the WILL, EMOTION, and INTELLECT,see please, Mt 16: 24. unlike the present day church, who desire much, the awesome Presence Divine, of the HOLYSPIRIT, in expression of extravagant, signs and wonders , away from the slightest Sacrifice of the totalism of their being to Stewardship
Church of Jesus Christ, how can a man hold back his WILL, EMOTION and INTELLECT from stewardship to The Living Lord God, please see, Lk 19: 58--62, and yet expect to have a knotted relations with God Almighty, with signs cm wonders following? Church please wake up fast and be zealous in stewardship to God Almighty, for the proceeds of such bonding to follow , unending, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
III. LIMITLESS BOON: From the scenario in Gen 22: 1-18, in evidence of clarity, espousing it is, upon every Sacrifice, which the church of Jesus Christ is required to make, in zeal for Stewardship, to The Living Lord God, in every step of such yielding to SPIRIT of TRUTH , in expression of this exclusive Service, in Worship, which the church of Jesus Christ is called into, The Living Lord God, is ever present in the personality of the HOLYSPIRIT , to suffice the demands of all times, where beit , not minding.
See please, Philp 4:19, compare now 1chro 28: 19 - 20. Having x-rayed these scripture inferences, beyond the face of possible contradictions, it is not stupendous to avow, every task upon the Church of Jesus Christ, carries within it the sufficing Grace , for it's accomplishment, in the perfected Will of GRACE of the calling, so then, this being the datum ,why in the being must the church of Jesus Christ contemporary, suggest, many a flemsy justifications, for incapacitation to accomplish the calling in stewardship to Sacrifice to worship ?
Is it not clear from all expression of indication, the contemporary church of Jesus Christ, is operational, void zeal for Stewardship, in it's completion of obligation, perfected in absolution.? Hence, this tendency of her recurrence , in gripe, of the rescinded powers of the demonstrative appearance, of the person, of the all powerful HOLYSPIRIT, which is the blessing, obtained in a none limitation measure, from a Sacrificed Worship.
Compare please Acts 1: 1- 8, see also, Acts 2: 1--21. From these inferences scriptural, you observe, our saviour Jesus Christ, enjoin HIS disciples to tarry for the coming of the personality of the HOLYSPIRIT, for empowerment, as to disciple nations unto Jesus Christ our Lord, of which we are a product of the injunctions; and in the immediate text scriptural, you note all the disciples heed to the injunctions,. with a singularity of accord, tarried at at place in earnest expectations, of the un failing HOLY SPIRIT, who in abruptness came upon them all.
Thus all of them were filled in the Holyspirit, and were enabled to utter diversity of languages, alien to them , in respect to education, and association. Looking at this scenario, it is pellucid, in all mannerisms of clarification, as in absolution perfected, the disciples, in order to receive this exemptional blessing from The Living Lord God, see please, Joel 2: 28--30, have in exception to Sacrifice their -
1. Freedom of movement.
2. Time.to attend to self.
3. Personal businesses
4. The comfort of their homes.
All these Sacrifices the Apostles made to attain this supernatural limitless blessings, the contemporary church scrabble about, but, are very relented to Sacrifice to worship. In verses 16-18 of Genesis 22, you note , God Almighty swear by HIMSELF in favour of Abraham's Sacrifice to worship, having not with held even his only son , of his old age ,Isaac from HIM.
Note church of Jesus Christ, for every Sacrifice conducted towards The Living Lord God in stewardship, on the instance, the attention of God Almighty is drawn, thus HE open up the avenue of limitless boon upon the steward,. Let us see these divine pronounciation in distinction -
1 ." I have sworn by myself,saith the lord" applying come what may, the pronouncement remains irreversible.compare please, Jere 1:11- 12, see also ,Ish 55: 10--13. The Living Lord God is so much more laddened with blessings everlasting, who in perfection of HIS loving kindness infinitude, had called the church of Jesus Christ out from the wicked world , to share from HIS infinitude of boon, which only is accessible, through a Sacrificed fellowship with HIM, HIMSELF, being sacrificial to humanity in essence.. compare Psm 21:1--13.
2. In verse 17 of Gen 22, Abraham the faithful sacrificial steward, was confered with the blessing of his progenies , being as innumerable, as the stars of heaven, and as the sand of the sea shores . This aligned with Psm 21: 1--13, you note God Almighty, had sworn ,by HIS sovereignty, to Sacrifice the entirety of HIS making , to see to it , the generation of Abraham, is / will not in anyway hampered in fruitation, not just that, but prolific in kind.
Note more church, the length of timing, it will consume , in process to attain this, and understand God Almighty had Sacrificed much more of such HIS time , and attention towards the generation of Abraham, to see to it's accomplishment. Compare please, Exd 1: 1--12,. Juxtaposing this immediate text scriptural to Gen 22 verse 17, it is evident, away from The Living Lord God making a Sacrifice of HIMSELF towards HIS WORD , and Grace of timing, human vehicles of the devil would have disrupted the accomplishment of HIS assurance to Abraham, the Sacrificial faithful.
On the Converse Abraham was bound to reap the boon of his Sacrificial Worship conducted towards THE LIVING LORD GOD, the SACRIFICIAL FAITHFUL TO HIS WORD. Note more church, this pronouncement of boon upon Abraham, is limitless in nature , and cross generational, to the effect, the seed of Abraham Jesus Christ, the decent of King David , of the tribe of Judah, is to posses the gates of HIS enemies..
Please see Mt 1: 1-25. In this inference scriptural, Jesus Christ, having grown up ,at the very age of twelve began HIS ministry Which culminated in HIS Sacrificial death at Calvary cross, at the prime age of thirty three, to disband the devil, possession of humanity gate of living, having all , in captivity of endless sinful living against God Almighty,. Jesus christ having so triumphed , please see Rev 1:18, built HIS church, and confered so an endless boon upon her, over the gates of hell.
Please compare now, Mt16:17-19. From this Scriptural inference, immediate, you will note, the very church of Jesus Christ is bound , in fellowship of un limited blessing from God Almighty, culminating from the at- one - ment , made by our Lord Jesus Christ at Calvary cross, provided she will in Sacrifice to Worship, exercise before The Living Lord God, where not so done, the devil will yet dominate her proportional existence.{Possess her gate }
Compare please Col2: 14-15, see also Col 1:20.
3. In verse 18 of Gen 22, The Living Lord God ,assured Abraham, all nations of the earth will be blessed in his seed. In this divine assertion, you observe, the accomplishment in the personality of our Lord Jesus Christ , the decent of Abraham, the Hebrew. If we may pry ? To what degree of veracity can we vouche for this divine avowal absent bias ?
Let us see now Jn 3: 14--18, compare also Jn 1: 11--14. From these Scripture inferences, you observe the blessings of eternal bliss with The Living Lord God, our Lord Jesus Christ, the very seed of Abraham availed humanity in entirety , through the expiation of the sins of the entire humankind, to them that believe, and brought about, an everlasting concillation betwixt God and man once again, .
Please compare now 1 Jn 2: 1-2, see also Jn 1: 229--31. Overviewing these two scripture inferences, it is evident, away from the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ, the blessing to Abraham precise, and so to humankind in macrocosm, there would have not been anything like the unqualifiable blessing of Salvation, which brought forth God in HIS separated SPIRIT personality abode with humankind in ubiquity once more, not just that , and in giving diverse gifts to the Church of Jesus Christ, to disrupt the devil's totalitarian of power over humankind on earth.
Compare please, Eph 4: 7--12, see also, 1 Cor 12: 3-13. Imagine what life would had looked like, had the church of Jesus Christ not existed on earth? And worst still, had the personality of the HOLYSPIRIT not filled the church. All these blessings being enjoyed now , which are all for the very essence , Abraham Sacrificed the totality of his being in Worship to The Living Lord God; much more his seed Jesus Christ crowed HIS stewardship to God Almighty, by sacrificing HIS SINLESS life to bring about an everlasting concillation betwixt God and mankind.
The contemporary church, is so happy enjoying these priceless blessings, and much more most eager , to draw from the overflowing spring of the manifestation of the HOLYSPIRIT unequalled, endless power, but most unwilling to Sacrifice herself, in Holiness unto The Living Lord God. How possible is it church? For every blessing ,there is always a Sacrifice , for every input, there is always an output, for every pay ,there must be work done,. If you so desire much blessings from God Almighty, then you must be willing to Sacrifice, the totalism of your being ,in God's vineyard, where not so done, you will keep complaining, and always be lacking.
Compare please, Heb 11:6, see also please, Gal 6: 7-8. From these references scriptural, you note The Living Lord God, reward those who in diligence seek after HIM, in Sacrificial Worship, according to whatever they sow in HIS vineyard. Church of Jesus Christ there in existence is always an ENDLESS BOON , IN THE LIVING LORD GOD, ACCESSIBLE ONLY THROUGH OUR SELFLESS SACRIFICED WORSHIP CONDUCTED TOWARDS HIM.
CONCLUSION: From all indications, it is now overt church of Jesus Christ, SACRIFICE IS RUDIMENT TO TRUE WORSHIP CONDUCTED TOWARDS THE LIVING LORD GOD. It is this very Sacrifice made by the church of Jesus Christ in stewardship, that make for a devoted ,{ committed} Worship, hence, the tendency, of the Service, done , " in spirit and in truth " . See Jn 4: 23-24. If the SPIRIT of WORSHIP , who is of the Living Lord God, is upon the Church, see please Ish 61: 1-9, in innateness then , all her stewardship will be in reciprocity , of God's SPIRIT in her, in the light of devotedness. { Sacrifice}.
There is no differing , from God's attitudinal approach, to humankind, and the church of Jesus Christ in precision. Unless on this SACRIFICIAL ESTATE , the church of Jesus Christ conducts her Worship towards The Living Lord God, NEVER CAN SHE EVER MEET THE BOON, EMBODIED IN TRUE WORSHIP., WHICH IS THE ESSENCE OF WORSHIP. True Worship as it were , is Sacrifice in conduct.
See please, Ish 2: 9-31, compare also, Psm 51: 16-19. From these instances of scripture, you note, the material offerings tendered to The Living Lord God, in Worship by the contemporary church, is quite un acceptable to HIM, because the self personality , is not first Sacrificed, in the Worship. The Sacrifice of the self personality, is the completion of the yielding , of the WILL, EMOTION and INTELLECT, to worship, which when so done ,breeds in absolution, a perfection of adherence, to the injunctions, of The Living Lord God, which carries within it limitless boon.
Church of Jesus Christ, wake up and posses your possessions, OBEDIENCE TO THE LIVING LORD GOD IN ABSOLUTION, IS THE SACRIFICE TO TRUE WORSHIP IN PERFECTION. Please compare now, Lk 9:23--25. In this reference scriptural, you note The Living Lord Jesus Christ, categorical state " deny himself, take up thy cross , and follow me" . What then does it involve to deny oneself church? Is self denial not in the RESTRAINT OF ONESELF FROM THE GRATIFICATION of PERSONAL DESIRES? Following after Jesus Christ as contained in the text, verse 23 precise , strait involves, SACRIFICING ONES PERSONAL CHOICES FOR THE CHOICES OF THE MASTER, IN SERVING THE MASTER.
Note more church, no man Whosoever, can serve two MASTERS, at a given time, see please Mt 6: 24, you can never serve { please }yourself, and at same time serve The Living Lord God, The SEPERATED PERSONA., In so far this interim is involved . Note moreso church, the word " daily " as involved in the assertion, portrays a recurrence of a Sacrificed stewardship, so long as life tarry in the church.
In verse 24 of the mediate text Luke, it is very clear the term Whosoever as implied therein ,apply no matter whom , the office involved not minding , that will save his life , , and will not Sacrifice , the totalism of his being, in Service to The Living Lord Jesus Christ in HIS vineyard, will in perfection of completion loose his whole being in hell fire condemnation. Indicating neglegence to this clarion call to Sacrificed fellowship, tan amounts to gross disobedience to the MASTER, which disobedience is sin , and every sin, where not redressed on time, tan amounts to severance from God Almighty, even unto eternal death.
For this course , is the querry in verse 25 , of Luke 24 raised, " what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world , and loose his soul "" die untimely, " or" be cast away from God Almighty" in hell? Church of Jesus Christ, SACRIFICE IS RUDIMENT TO TRUE WORSHIP, AWAY FROM WHICH THE CHURCH IS ONLY PLAYING AWAY HER TIME. SO PLEASE WAKE UP TO YOUR RESPONSIBILITY WHILE THERE IS YET GRACE OF TIMING.
Please church your queries are much welcomed, as they will be addressed in consonance with scriptures, the MIND OF THE LIVING LORD GOD FOR SACRIFICIAL TRUE WORSHIPERS.
