…BUT YOUR WILL… 2
“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.” Luke 22:42 (Berean Standard Bible).
Beloved, by the revelation of scriptures, and from previous discussions we had in other episodes of Machaira with Apostle Bennie, we will realize that man has a crucial role to enact in the fulfillment of God’s eternal plan and purpose.
Just as I mentioned in the first part of this discussion; God as the creator has an intention for His creation. Just as every inventor has an intention for his or her invention.
God made us to be His workmanship unto good works (Ephesians 2:10).
He also designed man to have an organic partnership with Him.
God didn’t make man just to exhibit His creative ability.
When He made man:
– He gave man a spirit (Zechariah 12:1; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Isaiah 42:5; Numbers 26:22), so that man will be able to relate with Him. Remember, God is a Spirit (John 4:24).
– He made man a living soul. Genesis 2:7 (which includes the mind, the will and the emotions).
God gave man a mind (Psalm 139:13-16) to be able to reason.
– He gave man a will to make decisions and choices (Genesis 2:16-17; John 1:12-13).
– He gave man emotions to feel and interpret his or her experiences and He also gave man a body to function in this physical world. (See also 1 Thessalonians 5:23)
These items reveal how God designed man in other to have a well structured partnership with him.
By these items it becomes possible for God to work together with man to achieve His eternal purpose through time.
These also reveal how man can choose to live independent of God. Though man can only achieve God’s intention when He has an interdependence with Him.
Surely, God made you to partner with Him to achieve His purpose.
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV)
God doesn’t force you to live and function according to His will.
To work with God and experience true fulfillment, you must willingly make a decision to function according to His WILL.
Noah has to make a choice to believe in God’s word to build an ark before the flood. Others had the opportunity to join him, but they refused.
Abraham had to willingly leave his father’s house to a land God will show him. And through that step of faith, all nations were blessed through him.
Joseph had to make a decision to honor God and to reject Potipher’s wife.
David had to make a choice to stand with the Lord and to stand up for His people.
Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah decided to stand with God and not to bow to any other God, irrespective of the threat and danger.
Despite the persecutions, the apostles and disciples of Jesus did not turn away, but continued to preach and spread the gospel of our Lord.
You can decide to do things according to your will or according to the will of God.
The choice is with you.
It is time to say, LORD not my will BUT YOUR WILL!
Selah
