 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.  John 14.31

The example of submission displayed by Jesus is what God expects from each one of us. We were saved from the rebellious spirit, which started a riot in Heaven in the beginning, taking along with him one third of the angels. Afterwards, when he defeated the first man by the way of temptation, the devil stripped off the authority that was given to Adam. But, now, once we are delivered from him and his filthy influence, we must submit ourselves to the good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2). 

The world needs to know that God is our Lord, and because of that, we submit ourselves to Him. Your goal must be to make of the Omnipotent as the only Lord over your soul, spirit and body, so that you have all things conserved for the coming of Jesus. Then, we will enter a world where there is no moth and no rust (Matthew 6:20), nor sin, where there will be no remembrance of sad and bad things that take place here on Earth. 

Christ showed that He loved the Father when He fulfilled the mission He was given by God; likewise, we must look at what the Omnipotent gave us to do and never give up. Even if no one helps us, or even if they hinder us, this must not serve as an excuse for us not to love the One who is holy and has called us to His holiness and His fear. Those who have this feeling are like a light in the middle of a corrupt generation. 

Jesus followed the Father´s recommendations fully, not deviating from them at all. Those who wish to please God must also not allow rebelliousness to come into their heart. On the contrary, in every situation, they must be aware that another Spirit dwells in them, the Spirit of God. Live in such a way that all your actions are done with love and wisdom. 

You will not be ready to be used by the Lord while you have some personal reason guiding your path. Dedicate yourself to do His will, even if you don’t feel the calling to take part in the ministry. Now, every Christian was made witness of Jesus, and because of that you must never allow yourself to be led by any anti-biblical feeling. Stay firm, and on the day of reckoning, you will be approved. 

As a beloved son of God, take up your cross every day – the mission which was entrusted to you – and follow the Master. Therefore, always be ready to do what God tells you, no matter how you are physically or spiritually feeling. Fulfill your mission is the duty of all those who care for their salvation and don’t want to miss it. Make sure the Lord sees you fulfilling His decision concerning you. 

The task God gave you is noble. When you accomplish it, you will discover that you are loved by the Father and by the Lord Jesus. So, get yourself prepared to be honored by Him at all moments, and never run from the battle. After having taught you, the Eternal One will take you to wonderful assignments. May your name be in the list of those who are approved! 

In Christ, with love,
