Hebrews 3:1-3 (AMP)
SO
THEN, brethren, consecrated and set apart for God, who share in the
heavenly calling, [thoughtfully and attentively] consider Jesus, the
Apostle and High Priest Whom we confessed [as ours when we embraced the
Christian faith]. [See how] faithful He was to Him Who appointed Him
[Apostle and High Priest], as Moses was also faithful in the whole house
[of God]. Yet Jesus has been considered worthy of much greater honor
and glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honor than
the house [itself].
We, Christians, are possessors
of the nature of Almighty God. We are heirs and joint heirs with
Jesus Christ. We believe that God has a plan and purpose for our lives,
but yet many die without fulfilling even a fraction of that plan.
The
scripture text for our blog today says we have a Heavenly calling. The
plans and purposes God has for each life may not be popular, it may not
even seem logical in the natural because it’s, heavenly. Jesus would
have never fulfilled His earthly course if He was trying to make it fit
in with natural human reasoning. Man had a different plan and course for
Jesus' life, but He refused to veer from the Father’s plan.
Natural
man did not understand nor favor the course God had for Jesus, The Son of God. Many people tried to stop Him and talk Him out of it, but He stayed
loyal to His Fathers will. Be cautious about trying to redirect other
people’s lives just because it doesn’t make sense to you. If God is not
directing you to tell them to go another way, don’t be an accomplice to
the devil's plan to shipwreck or confuse someone else's course just
because it doesn’t appear right to you. After Jesus revealed to His
disciplines the course the Father had given Him to fulfill, Peter piped
up and rebuked Jesus.
“Then Peter took Him aside to
speak to Him privately and began to reprove and charge Him sharply,
saying, God forbid, Lord! This must never happen to You! Matthew 16:22 AMP
Peter
was very sincere in his human efforts to try to help Jesus fulfill his
destiny, but he was sincerely wrong. Every person’s destiny is very
precious and vital; we should always seek God through prayer and His
word before we begin counseling people about their destinies. You never
want to be held accountable for someone getting off course because of
what you thought their course should look like.
God has
different paths and administrations of the Spirit for different people.
We must let God be God. A Heavenly calling is just that...Heavenly. It
comes from God not man. The scripture says "we are all partakers".
Once
we seek God and find out what our part is in the body of Christ, we
must go forward with fervor and passion not allowing other people’s
opinions to stop our progress. God loves you and has a specific plan for
your life, but you must diligently seek Him with a pure heart. He will
reveal to you what you need to know, where you need to go and any other
specifics the Holy Spirit will show. Just go and flow with the Holy Ghost, He
is your guide! Be faithful to God and do all that He entrust to you to
do, with a joyful heart. Stay excited about the things God has given you
to do, so that He can fulfill His plans through your life and be
glorified. Press in to fulfill the heavenly calling in your life, today!
