Dispensers Of His Goodness

-
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1Peter 2:9 AMP).


Our opening verse says He's called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. This means that you've been called and sent by God to manifest and administer the will, purpose, and character of God to your world; you have become a dispenser of His goodness.
Sadly, some think they've been called out of darkness, and are "journeying" into the marvelous light; no! You've been brought out of darkness and translated, transferred into God's marvelous light. In the mind of God, you're not trying to get there; you're there now!
Not only are you the recipient of God's blessings, or of His righteousness, you've also become the dispenser of His goodness. This is your job; this is your ministry; this is your life. It's what Jesus did: He came to reveal, demonstrate, and to manifest the will and nature of the Father. Now, He's given you the nature, ability, and authority to do the same. He's endowed you with the gift; the ability to reveal and manifest the will and purpose and character of your heavenly Father.
Now that you're born again, you've become a vent for His expression; the expression of His glory, love, and grace. Become conscious of this truth, and you'll never walk in confusion or despondency! Rather, your life will be an unending stream of the supernatural as you live out God's purpose—dispensing His goodness to your world.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your righteousness, which is revealed in me, and your glory that's in my spirit! I'm a dispenser of your love, kindness, goodness, and grace! Thank you for I've become the full expression of your character, will and purpose to my world, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Further Study:
|| Colossians 1:27-28 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: ||
|| Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ||

Everyday Holy

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.  — Genesis 12:1-2   Sometimes when circumstances get too big or seem to be different from what I want, doubts start creeping in.  What if this isn’t the right thing? What if I heard God wrong? What if I’ve made a huge mistake? What if I’m totally screwing up my child and she ends up living in a van down by the river? I get scared. I realize this doesn’t make me different from anyone else. We all like to feel in control of every aspect of our lives, and it’s hard to surrender that control. It’s hard to say, “I trust You” — no matter what. One of the few constants in life is that things will always change. And I, like many others, hate change. It leaves me feeling unsettled, unsure, and insecure as I try to find new footing in different c...

Very Great in the Little Things

-
This God is our God. — Psalm 48:14 “God is great in great things, but very great in little things,” says Henry Dyer. A party stood on the Matterhorn admiring the sublimity of the scene, when a gentleman produced a pocket microscope and having caught a fly, placed it under the glass. He reminded us that the legs of the household fly in England are naked, then called attention to the legs of this little fly which were thickly covered with hair; thus showing that the same God who made the lofty Swiss mountain attended to the comfort of His tiniest creatures, even providing socks and mittens for the little fly whose home these mountains were. This God is our God! A doubting soul beheld a robin’s nest in a gigantic elm and heard a still small voice saying, “If God spent a hundred years in creating a tree like that for a bird, He will surely take care of you.” God is so interested that He takes us one by one and arranges for every detail of our life. To Him, there are no ...
