God's love Co-Missions, Con-fronts and Com-forts !
Here's how- firstly the LOVE Co-Missions with us ! How great !
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life !
Matthew 28:19
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing the in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them
to observe all the things I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you
always, even to the end of the age.
So these are the words of Jesus. He is with us always. He has given us
a mission. This missions is a co-mission - a mission to be done with Him
always. A mission is a military term: a specific combat operation assigned
to an individual or unit. Jesus understands warfare like no one else. He
knows the battles we encounter when doing our missions. That is why
we are Co-missioned ! Not alone ! And if you feel alone when the idea
to share the gospel comes to your mind - get surrendered yourself ! Get
in position to win, pray, trust, love and then possibly to speak ! Our
weapons are an arsenal of heavenly powers - designed to protect the
integrity of the gospel and we the gospel spreaders.
So then, God's love con-fronts -
Hatred is contrary to love. "Con" means against. Love is to come
against lovelessness, hatred, bitterness, depressive thinking and the like.
God's love confronts conflict with understanding compassions which fail not.
God's love confronts pain and sorrow with hope and openness of heart and spirit.
God's love confronts ignorance with truth told gently, in perfect timing for learning.
God's love confronts satanic lies with truly powerful promises performed by the power of an endless life.
God's love does all this and more. Sadly we try much of the above in our own 'love' efforts that
are sometimes stinky-fake and off-putting. Hopefully, we learn quickly to surrender our own
'efforts', die to self and live to serve only Jesus who alone is able to perfect all that concerns us.
And of course, God's love com-forts
God's love comforts all who Come-for-it !
God's love is a FORT - a come-fort !
Outside of God is no comfort at all - why is alcohol, drugs or
shopping not a comfort ? Because of 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 which tells us:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
mercies and God of ALL COMFORT. who comforts us in all our
tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any
trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
So we see the Bible Says God of ALL COMFORT. ALL means ALL
and that's ALL ALL means ! ! ! That's all !!!!
So may we be Co-missioned, con-fronters and com-forters in Christ alone.
May we understand what All means and believe it, now, is He believe-able ?
yup ! He alone is worthy of our trust - help us trust and obey, seeking no
other way, but to be found faithful when you do return. Thank you Lord !
Help us in our unbelief. Thank you that the only "relief for unbelief is belief !'
Help us All Mighty Father. Will you help us discover Your WITHNESS before
we ever ever ever try to WITNESS ?
