Ephesians 4:1-16

How to Grow in the Right Things So We Are Remembered for the Right Reasons:

1- A life lived worthy of the call of God consists of humility, gentleness, patience, tolerance in love, unity and peace. Can thee words be used to describe me?? We feel empty when these attributes are absent. If you will take serious the process of God's character becoming your character, don't be surprised when God's power becomes your power... you don't need a thousands reps once... you need one rep every day for a thousand days.

2- Jesus' resurrection and ascension was about being able to give the gift of filling all of us with His Spirit... this Spirit is for us to walk in the fullness of Jesus' example, and to equip and to build up others to do the same. Rhythmic exposure to both private and corporate times of the Spirit and Scriptures is what turns a common life into an uncommon one, and makes an uncommon difference within the common activities and interactions of your day to day... equip and build yourself unto equppiing and building others.

3- We are to be built in love. There is no theology apart from love, no tricks of success that can cover the activity of love, or ways of functioning that can replace the action of love. IF those around you question the love you walk in they cannot receive the love you want to give. Love grows us in all aspects at once, and a deformed faith is one that allows you to pick and choose the love you walk and give to others based off your feelings of the day... the who and how of your love has a direct impact on the when and why of God’s will for you.
