One of the most amazing things to me is that Believer as well as unbelievers fail to realize and fully understand that God see, God hears, and God knows, everything that goes on in His creation. There is nothing that He is not aware of. He is Elohim, total and complete sovereign, and El Elyon, the most high God. “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” (Matthew 10:30). Do we really know who we are?  “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 4:26). As His children, do we not want to do that which is pleasing in His sight? “But as many as received Him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed on His name.” (John 1:12). Are we not sons as well as servants?

            The god of this world has blinded many of us with deception. There is deception behind deception. As Believers, we are commissioned and there is a responsibility, because we are the ambassadors to this world. As ambassadors, we are the official authorized agents appointed to represent His sovereign government. We are on assignment for the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is not a place; it is His method of governmental operation. The monarch, who is in the preeminent position, in this case, God, heads the Kingdom. There is no democracy in the Kingdom. Whatever the King says, is what goes. Let’s not become confused with the Kingdom of heaven, which is a place.

            Our orders emanate from the throne room, consisting of “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:19-20). As we see the day of the return of the King approaching, we must enter into the continuous care of our character. For we are the expression of God in the earth, made in His image. Our personality, our thoughts, and all aspects of our character must be crucified daily. In other words, you must up all of your will and your desires, for His will and His desires.

            We know that “many are called, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 20:16). If you are chosen, you are selected and marked for a special purpose. “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained , that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain.” (John 15:16). To ordain is to establish and order by decree. l So your destiny has been decreed. You have been chosen. You were picked out especially for Him and He planned for you because it pleased Him. You are destined to live for His glory, taking the very paths that He has prepared. Everything about you is predestined. (Romans 8:30). There are no surprises in the script that has been written in the Book of Life concerning you, even down to the smallest detail.

            Since there are details past, present, and future, in the book that you are not even aware of, what makes us think that we as Believers can do just anything, say anything and get away with it? As His ambassador, His representative, His body in the earth realm, we must be His expression. His expression embodies the listing of the fruit of the spirit in Galatians 5:22-24, which should be evident in our walk. Everyone knows the location, but very few ever develop so that the result of the working of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Believer is displayed. The seed has been planted, but it takes much water, prayer, pruning, and time for the cultivation process to be effective.

            He see when we are patient, kind, and loving. He see when we are angry, rude, and intolerant. He sees the words that come out of our mouths as well as the motives (the truth in the heart) behind them. He sees and knows our faults and yet He si still counting on us to be His expression. He has already sent Jesus to shed His blood and be the sacrifice of our sins once. Now He needs us to be that power of influence for the salvation of many souls.

            Recently I was driving in the country and saw many cotton field ripe for the harvest. I also saw those that had been picked. Some of the fields still had cotton that had been picked over. I began to wonder about those that were picked over. Whose fault is it that they are ripe, but left behind? Was it the operation of the machinery or just neglect? There were some that had fallen to the ground, but no one looked back to pick them up. For those of us who are in the household of the King, He has room for more and does not want any to be lost. There are so many destinies to be fulfilled that are an integral part to His Kingdom. Have you completed the course of the vessel design, to be filled and used for the demonstration of notable signs, wonders, and miracles? He needs you to be His expression in the fullness to demonstrate His purpose as He observes the many empty paths that could be traveled that are prepared for those He loves.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord,

thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you and expected end.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
