The harvest.

Galatians 6:8-9
And let us not be weary in well doing:for in due season we shall reap, if we
faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men,
especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

I love the New Living Translation (NLT) of verse 8 as it is translated in this way, "Those who live to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the good." For the Light has served it's purpose in me that my actions and therefore my desire is to please Him that called me from my sinful nature. I doing good, the reward is everlasting in Hebrew is 'owlam which can be translated as eternal, the vanishing point where in the effort to please the Spirit we die of our old selves and a new nature/creation becomes my identity In Him.

As stated in the twelveth division of Paul's epistle to the Romans, he pleads, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world:but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

This is my reasonable service unto God for all He has done for me. Today we took the time to intimately express the cause to which we were purposed to desire after the Will of God for our lives. There is nothing better than to break bread with fellow believers to gain a better appreciation of His awesomeness. Great God you are. Thank you for the opportunity to live In You, this life is far better than the former.

Looking forward to being in worship with Madidi Baptist Church congregation of Pretoria, South Africa under the leadership of Rev. Dorah Maotoe, so much so that I am unable to rest as I am filled with the expectation of the move of the Spirit as we fashion ourselves in service and standing beside one another as the Body of Christ.
