Complacency for the Counterfeit!!!

The Accuser of the Saints continues to shoot fiery darts all around us to keep us from pressing forward into his gates to save the souls of so many that are still lost. Another reason why the body becomes complacent is because they give up their passion to press forward in God’s Will, for an established title or reputation. Imagine this, Jesus goes forth throughout Judea and Jerusalem healing the sick and casting out demons. The people are all speaking of His greatness and His impact in their area. He has the best teaching and preaching heard around Israel. Jesus Christ decides to set up a church and becomes the first Pastor of the first mega church known to man. While that might have been great, that would not have fulfilled God’s purpose for His life. We would still be separated from God because Jesus choose to take the affections of men and the cheer of the crowd over the call of His Father. In other words everything that is “good” is not sent from heaven!!! The enemy can send prosperity, fame, and gain just as our Father can. We cannot settle with just a title because men are pleased with our gifting and we have made a name for ourselves in the church or the community. We must continue to press towards the mark of our creation!!! If leaving that title behind and all those cheering folks are left with no answer but you are in the perfect Will of the Father, you will be in Great Company!!! Our Lord and Savior experienced the same life, He pressed toward the “God” thing and not the “Good” thing!!! Be Encouraged!!! Have a wonderful life of enjoying the pursuit of why you were created on purpose!!!!!

John 6

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
1Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), 2and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick. 3Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. 4The Jewish Passover Feast was near.
5When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" 6He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
7Philip answered him, "Eight months' wages[a] would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!"
8Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up, 9"Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?"
10Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of them. 11Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
12When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted." 13So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
14After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world." 15Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.
