Memorise: “For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building” (1 Cor 3:9) Read: Philippians 1:20-2 |
| “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil 1:21). One attribute of a true partner with God is the readiness to remain in that partnership agreement until death in spite of the odds. God expects partnership with Him to go beyond a lifetime. Many believers who started as divine partners sometime ago have either renounced their agreement or down played its relevance.
In Acts 19:11-12, God could perform special miracles through the hands of Paul because of his undying commitment to divine partnership. Some people became committed to God just to try if it will work. If your purpose of becoming a Jesus’ Partner is to test if it will work or not, you may be disappointed. For instance, the period you want to test if you will receive the greater blessings by virtue of your seeds, may fall under Heaven’s period of probe. And if this happens, the blessings may not be immediately released. Your faith or seeds may be tested. This is one way God sieves out genuine from fake partners. Alternatively, the devil may use the seeming delay in obtaining results to tell you that it is a wasted effort. It is not! Results or not, remain constant in your sacrificial commitment and you will definitely receive your reward. It cannot be lost. Moreover, in every partnership agreement, there is a senior and a junior partner. The roles of each partner are clearly defined by the grade of partnership each belongs. God is the Most High according to Psalm 91:1 and if you let Him be the Senior Partner, He will do the bulk of what is expected in that partnership. For instance, Moses only lifted his two hands while God destroyed the Amalekites. In Joshua 10:10-14, while the enemies were escaping from the Israelites, God rained heavenly explosives on them. No enemy can escape when you partner with the Most High. I just returned from Italy. On arrival, my children brought some thick jackets for me because they knew I do not like cold weather. I did not even pray about the winter yet all the while I was there, it was sunny. If you are not His genuine partner, you cannot experience the You can only be blest and have peace and sweet rest, as you yield Him your body and soul. If you are a divine partner, there must be some sacrifice on your altar. Are those sacrifices, consecrations and pledges still there? |
