PECULIAR PEOPLE
Memorise
Behold.
What manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called
the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1st
John 3:1
Read
1st John 3:1-7
1 Behold, what manner of love the Father
hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the
world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it
doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear,
we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And
every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also
the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And
ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever
sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he
that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
KJV
MESSAGE
Are you still
in charge of your life or have you surrendered everything to God? Are you still
special before God or have you travelled the path of rebellion and
self-government? Exodus 19:5 says:
“Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and
keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all
people: for all the earth is mine.”
Those who are
peculiar to God usually appreciate the privilege of being called children of
God. They will always want to obey the voice of God and walk in His ways. May
you not reject God in Jesus’ name. The moment a person rejects God, goodness
and mercy will never come across the path of such a person. As a peculiar
person, you will never experience the trouble those in the world are
experiencing because you are special to God. As you trust God in all your ways,
you will always be exempted from the evil that befalls those who take over the
affairs of their lives through self-government.
Peculiar
people cannot go where others go. They cannot wear the kind of body revealing
clothes that others wear; they will not fall in love and out of love like
others do because they are governed by the love of God. They will not sleep
when they are to be working, they will not be feast while they are to fast.
Total submission to the will of the Almighty God is what makes an individual
peculiar. Those who are peculiar have become grafted to Christ and they don’t
know what crisis are all about because their God controls situations and
circumstances in their favour. You are not like the others, you are special
before God, and only Him can help you show forth the glory He has put inside of
you. As a peculiar person, your ears are programmed to hear Him.
“And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying,
this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand and when ye turn
to the left”
You will have
an undeniable access to the secret of God for yourself and the benefit of
others. God has created every one of us with great potentials, but
unfortunately, some people do not realise these potentials because they refuse
to submit their lives to the Creator. Becoming peculiar starts from knowing the
Lord Jesus and discovering your purpose in life, you leave the level of being
just a believer and you move into the realm of son-ship. At this level, you
become empowered for exploits and you begin to fulfil destiny in grand-style.
Key Point
Every peculiarity in life
begins in Christ.
