Life's River Ministries Called of God, the Father, to minister to a dying world by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Spiritual Insight

Life's River Ministries, P.O.

Box 10662, Goldsboro, NC 27532·Wednesday, December 13, 2017·

We are a state registered Non-Profit organization in the state of North Carolina. This page is dedicated to assisting you in understanding how to see yourself from God’s perspective and overcoming situations and circumstances that will seek to move you from the course God has set for you. In your daily travels along this ‘Life’s’ river you will also see many vessels, of all shapes, sizes and colors. A large number of them have been on the river a lot longer than you have and will undoubtedly be marked ‘Christian’. Yet, as you thoughtfully scrutinize them, in your passing, you will discover that most of them are dilapidated because they carry the title and lack the substance. In your astute observation you will also notice that this is true because the cargo they are transporting is other than what it is supposed to be. However, you must not let this be a pretext to discourage or divert you from your goal, for you and they are not headed to the same destination. They have somewhere along the way, for whatever reason, failed to adhere to the instructions they were given. As a result, they have become presumptuous and are now a leaking eyesore that is listing and hopelessly off course. They now exist as a mere flotsam and jetsam drifting aimlessly downstream. As you cautiously move past them, maintain your complete confidence in and keep your heart focused on God, for He is the one who has charted your life’s course. He strategically placed each of us on this captivating river. He wants us to travel it from its embryonic source, through its calm and malevolent waters, to its predetermined destination. In all circumstances you encounter, don’t forget those who are less fortunate than you. Psalm 41 King James Version (KJV)

41 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3 The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

To all of my sisters in Christ Jesus: For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Jesus Christ and the Church:

Jesus said He would build His church, but He chose to do that through us. It’s a divine partnership. The church consists of His purpose and power, our calling and responsibility.

I often marvel at the fact that Jesus chose us, but I can see how it works.

The more we mature in our faith, the stronger the body of Christ, (The Church) becomes.

The stronger we become the greater our reach with the gospel of Jesus Christ extends.

The greater the influence of the church the more we can serve those in need.

The church is truly the hope of the world because it carries the truth of Jesus Christ, and the extension of God’s love.

His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 3:10-11

I honestly cannot think of, a more challenging, more inspiring vision than to partner with God Himself to change the world.

Yet, Monday arrives and reality hits
How do we encourage first time guests to come back a second time?

How do we help a struggling married couple to decide against divorce?

How do we inspire enough volunteers to serve in the kid’s ministry?
How do we help feed so many hungry and hurting people?
How do we handle conflict inside the church?

Suddenly it feels like we left the lofty vision of heaven and traded it for ministry that requires grit, resilience and courage. It’s like we traded glorious for grind.

Jesus never said ministry would be easy, but He did say He would always be with us.

That “with us” – that incredible partnership, (not an equal partnership but fully together), carries expectations.

Perhaps the idea of us having expectations of God is not fully appropriate, but we certainly have hopes founded in God. For example, we hope for His presence, power, favor and grace. We count on and trust His promises for these things.

And, Jesus does have expectations of us, the body of believers, His Bride, The Church.
