To be Christian is to be in partnership with God – working in tandem with Him and one another. We are to have daily interaction with Him for this partnership to work.
As co-workers, we are tasked with revealing the reality of
God to those around us.
Some Christians do not quite get it, they do not understand
their role. They have a one-dimensional perspective, believing that God is too
far removed for any intimacy between them and God. That is an unfortunate
misunderstanding of the part they play in God’s restorative plan.
“For we are God’s coworkers, working together;” – 1 Corinthians
3:9 (NRSV)
Apostle Paul said that we are co-workers with God; without
Him our work here is not complete, yet without us His work here cannot be
completed. We are the ones who carry out God’s plans on earth. God sees you and
me as invaluable contributors to what He is doing.
When you said “yes” to rebirth, you became a
participant in the work, not a mere bystander, not a junior in the firm but a
partner in the Corporation.
You must understand that your role is important, your input
is of value and God is interested in your voice, your ideas and your desires.
This physical world needs to be repaired, working together is the way to fix it. Everything you learn along your spiritual journey is not to be kept hidden in you, you are meant to turn it outward. Share your experiences of God with others – testify, so that the manifestation of God is released.
Our role is to partner with God as His co-workers in
bringing heaven to earth. It is a shared responsibility, working together to
actualize God’s purpose, God’s vision, God’s plan.
Beloved, please understand that you were not created by chance. You are here for a purpose and to perform an active role in the fulfilment of that purpose. God needs you, your existence matters, your assistance matters, your role in this life is important.
Amen.
