But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

I Corinthians 12: 31

It is good to be used according to the gifts of the Holy Spirit considering that that benefits greatly everybody, once countless sinners are led into being saved. Well, a person being privileged with that feels rejoice in their soul. Yet, even being an instrument of God as He has allowed me to be, still there is, in my inner being, the feeling of sadness for not enjoying everything from The Lord. The thing is that when I hear that someone has passed away into eternity without being saved I feel guilty for not having manifested more of the divine love in my life which, if happened, could have led such person to The Kingdom of God.

Those who are called up for the healing ministry, just like Jesus was in His days, will do really well for humanity. Yet, that gift is missing among us. How many people would not have had their leg cut off if, for instance, the servants of God were more powerful in prayer? What to say of those women that lost their breasts due to a mammal cancer, or of people that were born blind, deaf and those who came into light with a handicap and so on and forth? Healing, in the Name of Jesus, is perfectly possible considering that The Word of The Lord assures us that those who believe in Him will perform works even greater than those He did in His time (John 14: 12).

Nevertheless, even though someone might be fully used by the Almighty One in His work, still there is a way even more excellent we need to be acquainted with: the love of God. With that feeling in us we begin enjoying the same power that operated in Christ working at ease. Jesus did not only heal the sick, but He also cast out demons and He performed all kinds of miracles as He always took people towards God in a manner that nobody would dare having any doubt of the love of our Father being present in His live.

That excellent way would turn us into truly ambassadors of The Heavens considering that we would do the same works that our Master did in His days. We could have conquered the Samaritan woman’s friends, all the other Levis’ friends who are expecting to get the invitation to The Gospel inside the tax office apart from the soldiers’ mates that would have been certain that Jesus is not a trickster because His Words would have changed their lives forever. The Church needs people with the full understanding of what the work of The Lord really is like!

Love makes each servant of God a well-successful person in their duty. Today there is plenty of investment but few results. Meanwhile the world is falling into the hands of the enemy. We are arrogant enough to say that we are ambassadors of The Heavens! Yet, we miss out on the seal of The Most High which is His love at work in our lives. Where are the miracles? Where is the Christian behaviour? Where are the words and the results similar to those of Jesus’?

We have to spend time reading The Word of God and meditate on IT, next we are to follow suit our Master, just the way He taught us. Thus, nobody else will keep being insensitive as they watch us being used on the most excellent way.

In Christ, with love,
