As you have opportunity.
You do.
We all will have opportunity.
Galatians 6:1-10
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, you which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness (being humble and teachable); considering your self, lest you also be tempted (to be overtaken in a fault)
2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of God (Love) [Hang it all on love]
3 For if (any) man think himself to be something (have arrived or knows God, when he is nothing ( doesn't know this about God, he deceiveth himself.
4 But let(every) man famous and unknown prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
6 Let him that is taught in the Word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us (the household of faith/ the church of the living God)not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 As {we} have therefore {opportunity}, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Especially to those who are of the household of faith.
This means the immature ones in the house,the snotty ones in the house, the weird ones in the house, y'all know it's all up in the church.
They are seeking God and if they are not the power that dwells in you may be the thing that changes their motive.
I'm going to sit here for the rest of the week.
The Word of God is for me and celebrities and elders and everybody else.
A lamp unto our feet and alight unto our path and the steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord.
Let me share a little bit about how I know when an excuse is being made as to why men don't want to fully follow God.
Why instead of taking responsibility for their own decisions folks blame people in the church for not fully committing to God.
the reason I know is not because I'm pulling a rabbit out of my hat, it's because I used to do the same thing.
You come to the church with high expectations because you know God can be counted on and maybe you have had a bad experience with an immature believer, but whatever that experience was God can fix it if you don't give up on Him.
Our expectations of others is always higher than what we expect out of our self, that needs to change.
We come in and we don't want anybody to give up on us but we are quick to give up on others.
I remember not wanting to ever be in church because of old women who would gossip, complain, say some of the nastiest things that I had ever heard, I'm talking about words that cut and none of it was to edification.
For a long time I used those women as an excuse to not come to my Father.
That's offence and that is exactly what the devil wants you to be is offended right on out of the blessing.
There are still women and men in the church young and old who have this issue but you know something nothing can keep me from the love of God, no height , no death, no thing.
Because I know God and I know that there is nothing that can come to me that can overtake me.
That there is nothing that anybody can say or do that God will not give me the grace to bear it patiently and in love.
I ain't saying it's right to lack compassion, I'm saying if you profess to know God, you know what he said, so don't give the world an excuse not to come to God.
The Lord told me not to complain about these women but to be the woman of God that I needed to be.
I could waste time complaining or being that testimony.
Murmuring sets you back whether you do it in private or public.
You may think that it's easy to judge and to "just give scripture" it looks to me like it's easier to complain about what someone else is doing rather than testify that in spite of what the circumstances around me are, I am going to follow God anyway.
No matter what the storm is and how you act I am going to walk in love with you.
This is what knowing God does.
It's easier if you don't want to really man up to just blame someone elses behavior instead of checking yours and being the catalyst for love.
I don't admire anyone who just points out a problem without being a part of the solution.
People don't like me, because I am going to tell them what God said and they don't want to hear that.
They in the church looking sideways at me trying to prove me.
But I ain't running out the door crying I can't take it because they don't like me or they don't speak to me.
If I run out of the church it's because I have been paged and have to go do my job, I ain't running for any other reason.
If you can be pushed off of God that easy, you don't know Him.
You can know Him and you can build up a stance in him that no matter what happens you won't complain, you will just take the position and be what God made you to be.
I'm talking to people today who was raized in the church, to folks who say they "know God".
If you know Him then you know that He is not going to hold you accountable for what someone else said or did.
As you have opportunity, you do.
I say that the saved man is a ministry that represents the Lord Jesus Christ in this earth.
We are not weak and pitiful but we are strong and able to help other people reach their goals.
If you want to support a ministry that speaks against the church of God and it's members I'm praying for you.
I say support a ministry that is taking the opportunity to be that love to the lost and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
This goes two ways.
When we profess to the world that we know God we can be merciful on both sides.
Love
