Unique, Yet Common !!!! (1 of 5)
Each of us must recognize that Daddy-God uniquely created us individually.
He created us in His image with the ability to live, feel, speak and do as He desires for us to do.
This is why personal relationships with God through Jesus Christ His son, is essential for us to discover who He has distinguished us to be.
This is especially true since we were born in this world of sin, which has marred our original perfect creation.
We must remain in constant contact with our great Creator so that we can learn how to flow in our unique gifting, talents and Kingdom mandates.
Others might not understand our unique make-ups, personalities, mannerisms, why we think or do as we do.
Nevertheless, we must remember that while others might not understand us, as we walk in obedience with God and are pleasing to
Him, we will maximize the distinctiveness of our existence.

In spite of our differences, there must be some areas of commonality among us.
Some areas of commonality are having a godly, fruitful and obedience commentary of our lives.
Each of us must complete God's assignments for our lives.
In the uniqueness of whom we are and what we have been assigned by Him to do, prior Christians'
testimonies of their lives should also describe the testimonies of our lives while reflecting our current day of activities.
Commonalities of 2 Timothy 1 8-So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord.
Acts 20:18-"You know that from the day I set foot in... until now, 19- I have done the Lord's work humbly and with many tears. I have endured the trials that came to me. 20-I never shrank back from telling you what you needed to hear, either publicly or in your homes.
|
Acts 20:21-I have had one message ...the necessity of repenting from sin and turning to God, and of having faith in our Lord Jesus.
22-And now I am bound by the Spirit to go to .... I don't know what awaits me,
23 except that the Holy Spirit tells me ...that jail and suffering lie ahead.
24-But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord
Jesus-the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.
26-I declare today that I have been faithful. If anyone suffers eternal death, it's not my fault,
27 for I didn't shrink from declaring all that God wants you to know.
28 "So guard yourselves and God's people. Feed and shepherd God's flock-His church, purchased with His own blood...

Unique, Yet Common !!!! (4 of 5)
We must never be ashamed of being a lover and spokesperson for the Lord Jesus Christ, no matter the price.
The price may be experiencing rejection of others, being talked about or even sacrificing our lives, as
more and more Christians are being required to do so in this day and time.
However, as Paul attested, so must we also, that his (our) life is worth nothing unless he (we) finish the work assigned to him (us) by the Lord Jesus.
That must be the common, supreme goal for each of us. We must be obedient to do the Lord's work.
Jesus paid for the salvation of each of us with His life.
Therefore, NO ONE goes to hell just because some people failed to do their assignments even though
they will have to answer to the Lord for not doing their assignments.
Rather, one's eternal destination of hell will be because they continuously rejected the many
opportunities, which Jesus provided for them to accept Him and repent.
|
2 Timothy 1 8-. ...With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News.
We must recognize that it is God who gives us the strength to live, move and to have our very being of existence.
This is why we owe Him our obedience to accomplish our Kingdom missions.
Yes, our journey will have heartaches, tears, difficulties and the like.
However, for completing our missions, there will be the joy of reward that will override those difficult times.
Therefore, with the strength God gives you, purpose to give back to Him, your will, love, praise, obedience and completion of assignments.
Then you will partake of the glory of the Lord's great reward designed for you.
God bless you.

Those are my priorities in life.

WORDS FROM THE HEART!
You are such an amazing woman of God. Absolutely beyond amazing person. Luv Dr Tonya Lewis! D T
Hey Dr. Lewis: Thank you for the words of wisdom and faith for the week. It is something how we can disregard others and only think of ourselves. I am so glad that Jesus loves us so much that He will not ever let us go even when we turn our backs on Him. We need to follow suit and not turn our backs on anyone. Love you lot's! Evangelist L V
Thanks Dr. T. A Great and timely word. I have made so many unwise decisions, but Thanks to Daddy God's Grace and Mercy, He cares. Just keep on reminding me that He is concerned about every detail of my life. Peace and Blessing to you. R. S.
