Are you alive?

Matthew 28:18-20 clearly tell us to go out and tell all the world about the salvation Jesus offers us and to disciple them.

We are all called to this ministry? Are you living it?

You as a Christian are called to a life of ministry, to take up your cross and to follow Jesus, so if you are called specifically to the Salvation Army, that then means Officership, and the only exception is if you are called to something else.

Christian = actively living out the great commission

Living a life calling yourself a 'Christian' and not following Jesus' commands is more ironic than canidates of the Prayer Warriors session not having a half decent prayer life or the Ambassadors of Holiness session being endulged in their sinful nature.

Therefore calling yourself a 'Christian' and not following Jesus and his every command makes you a liar - you are not what you say you are- therefore breaking God's commandment and therefore condemming yourself with your own words.

Are you called to something specifically? A plumber by order by God? Did God specifically command you to become a teacher, or a scientist? If not, and you have been saved by Jesus by His grace, then you owe your life to His service, all the days of your life.

What's your decision? John 6:60 shows a great example of many followers of Jesus that hit a point where they moved from their calling and what Jesus was trying to get them to move into - they all ended up missing their final glory. They were offered the true food from God but didn't take it, I pray that you don't miss your opportunity and the purpose you were born for.

There's nothing better than God's purpose for your life.

Seek after your true calling now, don't waste another day! Pray, pray, pray.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

John 6:51

Are you being who God created you to be

What is the purpose of your life?

Isn't it amazing to know the creator of the universe, who created the Heavens and the Earth, the creator of atoms with the tiniest neutrons, protons and electrons, and the God who showed off by creating galaxies and flinging stars into the sky, created all this with the purpose of your life in mind at the exact same time!

If a tree decided to want to be a cow and didn't do what it was supposed to do, what a waste that would be, but it would also effect the balance of all other ecosystems and in turn the world would be effected - the same with your life - are you who being who God created you to be?

If this creator of the universe and of the atom had a purpose for my life that was as perfect as these other things, that is awesome! It blows your mind, doesn't it! So who wouldn't live that life?

I heard the other week how you can make God laugh! Ready for it.... tell Him your plans!! The God of the universe has the most amazing plan for your life, better than you could ever imagine, and you want to make plans for your own life, that really is funny.

So as you reflect upon your life, are you living out that awesome plan for you? If not, it's never too late, ask God for forgiveness and then pray that He will move you into His plan. Step out in faith, it may seem scary, but He hung the stars in the night sky, I can guarantee He can look after your life.

Go further than just a boring meaningless life that the world settles for, push into the things of God and your true purpose today. What does that mean for you?

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11
