INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME OF THE BLOG


When an artist decides to make a painting, he "conceives" a picture. He then takes out the canvas, brushes and paint. After getting out all he may need, the artist starts picking out the colours and brushes he wants to use...then; he begins! Now, somewhere during the process of this painting he comes to the point where he decides to use a very fine brush to put in the some detail on the painting, but for some reason that brush just does not want to work...and having to finish the painting, the artist chooses another brush which even though it is not as fine (able) as the previous brush becomes a skilful wand in the hands of the artist, not due to the capabilities of the brush...no, due to the willingness!

Mat 22:14 for many are called, but few are chosen...

I believe this scripture does not refer to God having favourites and therefore does not want to choose some, but rather because some are consistently refusing God's grace and love to shape and mold their hearts.

Do you realize just how much God loves you...? He created the universe with words, yet He took the time to mold, shape and create you...this has to make you wonder; who is this God that thought of me before the foundation of the earth and if He thought of me, that must mean that I am worth so much in His hands...?


LET US NOT BE SYMPTOM TREATERS BUT CHARACTER BREEDERS!

Many of us seek to do the following:

Matthew 10:8 Amplified Bible

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

And we should, but more than that we should seek the character of God, cause all of the things mentioned in that scripture are symptoms of something that has taken its root and started to bear bad fruit and so when we seek to raise the dead, cleanse the leper, heal the sick and cast out demons we treat the symptom and not the cause. I do seek to do all this, but more so I seek God to instill in me His character, so that first of all I am firmly planted and rooted in Him and then I can help others to also seek Him to lay the axe at the root of a bad bearing tree that wants to grow and therefore the tree never gets time to grow and bear bad fruit but instead they can learn to be planted and rooted in Jesus and that will cause them to bear good fruit for He is health, He is life, He is freedom, He blessed and glorified.

When God lets revival take place through us, will we have the character to carry it (Because when we seek to do all that is mentioned in that scripture, we seek revival cause that is what it causes)? For if we are not firmly rooted and planted in Him, when His overflowing goodness comes we will be uprooted and swept away by the force of His love forgetting our referential obedience and fear of Him.

Let us then get one step ahead of satan seeking Gods heart (His character) because then when His glory comes we will be able to stand and be used by Him for His glory and not our own!

THE CHARACTER IS WHO GOD IS AND WHAT HE FUNCTIONS OUT OF AND THAT IS...

LOVE


THEREFORE GOD CHARACTER IS LOVE AND LOVE IS...


GOD'S GLORY IS HIS CHARACTER AND HIS CHARACTER IS LOVE!

 GOD'S GLORY reveals HIS CHARACTER which stems from HIS LOVE that draws us to HIS GLORY.
2 Corinthians 3:18 Amplified Bible

And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from (one degree of) glory to (even more) glory which comes from the Lord, (who is) the Spirit.
