Qualifying to Work With God (Criteria for Divine Partnership)Exemplo

LET YOUR HEART TREMBLE AT THE WORD OF THE LORD, ALWAYS

Another category of men that the Lord will work with are men who tremble at the word of God. We must not become people familiar with God so much that they don't tremble at his word anymore. As a matter of fact, it is the easiest thing to do in the ministry. Because you are a carrier of the oil and a speaker of the word of God, the enemy can move you to a place of familiarity with God.

Elisha served Elijah, and Gehazi served Elisha. While Elisha walked in intimacy with Elijah, which brought him to a place of respect for the anointing, Gehazi, on the other hand, developed familiarity with Elisha, which caused him to think that God does not talk to His prophet all the time. The sin of familiarity is equally responsible for how people now commit atrocities with impunity in the body of Christ today.

Whatever happens, make sure that, as a Christian, you do not get to a place where your heart loses that quality of trembling at the word of God. Do you still tremble at the word of the Lord? In the work of the ministry, especially as ministers, we can get so familiar with God himself that we think He has given us a special license to disobey some written scriptures. We can be deceived to believe that He has given us a special status in the kingdom to be His assistant, that you can do something and say it doesn't matter.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive grace never to slip into familiarity with your word and grace to maintain the quality of trembling at your words all the days of my life.
