Bended Worship Ministry

There’s something that happens in the love of God. In fact many things happen. We are speaking here of God who is the Almighty…to whom there’s nothing that’s impossible. How can I live before this reality and see His very love that was shed abroad in my heart?

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ–to the glory and praise of God. Phil.1:9-11

First, there’s an abounding [and that is more and more] in knowledge and depth of insight. The believer will see this. He sees himself growing even as seeks to humble himself [and sometimes God even provides those humbling situations- 2Cor.12:7]. God always do these things as we see in this prayer, these are His clear desire and expectation. He will always give grace to one who will so desire and answer to God’s expectation.

Second, derived from growing in knowledge and depth of insight [1Cor.2:9-16; 2Peter 3:17-18] is the capacity to discern what is best. And what is best but the unfolding of God’s plan that He has for you. What do you see when a believer grows in knowing Christ? You will see him laying down his life. He will have the compelling love of Christ stirred in him. Is this not what’s its says there on Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God–this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.” See what happens? There will be a growing capacity to approve what is God’s will and not just that, but His good, pleasing and perfect will. God’s word will always speak as one!

Third is the fruit of righteousness and this is what God is after…that we should be fruitful. But it’s the fruit of righteousness and not just some fruits. God is after a bountiful harvest! He desires us to harvest! Is this what you see in your life? Listen to this word in Hebrews 12:11 that is in the context of discipline [God’s love will always discipline], “No discipline seem pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have trained by it.”

Do you see yourself growing in knowledge and depth of insight? Do you see yourself becoming able to discern what is best? Are you harvesting? Know that God’s love does not end at the cross. His love will always seek a fruitful work in you.

This is God’s will.
