Transparent moment. I retreated from ministry in my cave for a while. For various valid reasons. At that time in my life I had succumbed to how people treated me and retreated. So now I am out of the cave and I refuse to retreat this time. However I am grieved, by many things. Today I am grieved by the quarreling amongst believers, leaders even. I’m grieved by peoples need to exalt a title above everything; above God, above character, above reputation, above integrity, above wisdom. Insecurities have driven motivations to be seen and heard which tells me even with the title many still don’t know who they are in God. There are other things but I will not list them. This very song comes to mind by Blue Magic called “Let The Sideshow Begin”. I’ll put the lyrics at the end.
I just want to say this. Whatever God has called you to, do it with this purpose and this purpose in mind only, to please the Father, To Do His Will, With His Heart and Most Importantly With His Spirit. If you are truly walking in His Spirit there is no room for insecurities, there is no room for pride, there is no room for arrogance and self loathing. Repent and leave it all on the altar. Get back on your knees and seek the Father for the desires of the Kingdom and not of this world. Many of us say “More of You God and Less of Me” but you really don’t meant it. You want a name for yourself. You want to be famous. Jesus even had to tell His disciples, the least of you is the greatest among you. They were quarreling amongst each other as to who was the greatest. Jesus told them unless they humble themselves as little children! My God! I pray we get it before His return I pray we truly do.
The enemy has used social media as a temptress and many have fallen for the trick:
- The lust of the flesh
- The lust of the eye
- The Pride of Life
Many use social media to stroke these lusts of theirs in the name of ministering the gospel but it isn’t so.
We are not to be ignorant of the devils devices. Consecrate yourself ask the Father to show you those “little foxes” in you that spoil the whole vine.
Love you and I hope we get it. This message was impromptu and not rehearsed and Holy Spirit led. I won’t apologize for it. If you’re upset by it take it to the Father.
Love you and please share the Good News.
Let The Sideshow Begin by Blue Magic
Hurry, hurry, step right up
And see the sideshow in town
For only 50 cents
Step right up, hurry, hurry
Before the show begins, my friends
Stand in line, get your tickets
I hope you will attend
It’ll only cost you 50 cents to see
What life has done to those like you and me
See the man with the broken heart
You’ll see that he is sad
He hurts so bad (so bad, so bad)
See the girl who has lost
The only love she ever had
There’s got to be no sadder show to see
No doubt about it
Satisfaction’s guaranteed
So let the sideshow begin
Hurry, hurry, step right on in
Can’t afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
Let the sideshow begin
(Hurry, hurry), step right on in
Can’t afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
See the man who’s been cryin’
For a million years
So many tears (so many tears)
See the girl who’s collected
Broken hearts for souvenirs
It’s more exciting than a one-man band
The saddest little show in all the land
So let the sideshow begin (hurry, hurry)
Hurry, hurry, step right on in
Can’t afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
