IS THE WILL OF GOD A LOCATION?
The old song of the church says, 'I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord. I'll be what you want me to be." Among the desires that rise out of the new convert is a desire to please the Lord and to do what he wants them to do. That is a result of a submitted spirit and a yielded heart; all I want to do is please the father.
Then the challenge begins. What is the will of God for me, and how can I fulfill that will or purpose? Unfortunately, a fair amount of our mentors, those who teach us the way, are not entirely free from the worldview of the church and the kingdom of God. So, Alas, big is better, and the more power you have, the more you can get done for God. A big church, an extensive TV ministry, a ton of books, etc.
The world view that the church often looks through tells us that the will of God for you is where you go and what you do. And if you go to the right place and do the right things, you will please God and be in his will, his purpose for your life.
So when we are introduced at the preachers' convention, someone says this is brother Fred he's got 300 in his congregation.
And this is brother Bob; he's got 6000 in his congregation.
Guess who gets to preach at the convention and sit on the front row, brother Bob of course, because he has proven the worldview that the church has that big is better.
So if the will of God is not a location or a big and powerful ministry, what is it?
Jesus had a simple way of bringing truth into clarity.
We are no longer striving to live by the 10 Commandments, which most people fail in. Jesus said forget that that's dead and gone.
Here are the two Commandments that I give you.
Number one," love the Lord thy God with all your heart, soul and strength, and mind." Luke 10:27
Number two "Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
That is the will of God for you today, my friend, and when you complete that, everything else falls into place. When he told us to go into all the world and preach the gospel, it's only accomplished because we love people, not because we have power or gifts.
We can love because it's God's love in us that we give out.
