“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast”. (1st Peter 5:10)
Speaking on the theme “Messianic Alignment” (the alignment with the purpose of God), Apostle Offei Ankra-Badu said that the meeting was purposely to encourage ourselves and allow the move of God.
He said that any meeting of saints is like a training field because the actual event is out there in the world and looking at the text read in 1st Peter brings to our understanding that God is the God of all Grace and he is the one who has called us in his Grace and will honor us. Halleluyah.
God knew us before he called us and he changed our destinies through the acceptance of our Lord Jesus Christ. But the most painful thing is to be called by him and we do not answer because the answering to God’s call brings about blessing. I pray as you read this text may you not miss your calling in Jesus name.
Because we are called by God, we are assured of his presence anytime we go before him and we are not discouraged by the absence of someone since our focus is on him.
He further said that we have become the sons of God and need to justify the call of God upon our lives. That is to live a life that is worthy of the calling, whether in our offices, our homes, wherever we find ourselves we need to justify our son ship.
The call of God is to honor and not to disgrace us. He touched on 4 important steps to follow that will bring about the honor of God upon our lives.
- Being aligned with the purpose of God.
- Having a team spirit.
- Creating the badly needed dividing line.
- Forcing out our personal agendas for God.
In conclusion, He said that we need not to wait to understand what God is telling us before we act. In the economy of God, obedience brings understanding. If we want to understand God and his word before we act, then we will be late. Proper alignment removes all excuses.
