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, (KJV) 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.
Bible in one year: Acts 6-7, Song of Solomon 4:1-10
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.
