MANDATE:
NO NEGOTIATION!
Memorise: Brethren, let
every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. 1 Corinthians 7:24
Read: 1 Corinthians
7:18-24
If there was one Bible character who was sure of
his divine calling and followed it to the end, it was Moses. He gave no room
for negotiation with Pharaoh. But supposing after the initial demonstration of
power at the palace. Pharaoh reminded Moses of his childhood days when they
both grew up as princes in the same palace, and based on his antecedents
offered Moses a big reward or position in Egypt in place of his God-given
mission to liberate the Israelites? What would have become the fate of the
Israelites if Moses had compromised?
Today, several fire-brand preachers of salvation,
holiness, and . deliverance have negotiated their calling with the devil and
received in its place pleasure, worldly fame, glory, wealth and position. Have
you dumped your high calling and specific assignment for some worldly
considerations? Did God anoint you and send you to the streets or mission
fields and villages to win souls to Him as an evangelist but you accepted the
offer of some church to occupy a big post and be paid some big money and dumped
your original mandate? Remember, one day, you will account for the original
mandate and not the fake one the flesh or devil has given to you.
Any position, promotion or offer that takes you out
of God's original mandate is simply a negotiation for your calling and must be
rejected. It is worthy to note that your divine assignment is rooted in God's
covenant. For instance, the assignment of Moses was deeply rooted in God's
covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and any failure would have affected
God's covenant for Israel. God has a total plan for the Body of Christ but
gives every member of this body a piece of the plan - the one just meant for the
fellow. If you dump your original mandate for any reason, there will be a
vacuum. Just imagine as part of the body, a leg is missing, movement of the
whole body will be seriously impeded. God may have to do some juggling or
reassign someone else to do your assignment and this is why you must not
forsake your assignment Be true and faithful to it and do not let God's Kingdom
be at a disadvantage as a result.
KEY
POINT:
Father, let me never lose focus of Your mandate
upon my life.
