The Messenger OR The Message

Where should our focus be IF we claim to be teachers, preachers, messengers of The Kingdom of God?
(Proverbs 25:13).. As the ~cold of snow~ in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.. BUT!
(Proverbs 13:17).. A wicked messenger falleth unto ~mischief: BUT a faithful ambassador IS health….
There are links to sights that promise sound message in God’s Written Word, BUT, when you address that link to read: “The Message of The Gospel”, what you find IS a promotion of self… Look AT ME what I’ve Got, What I can offer, and the message *IF* There Is any *IS* a tiny one paragraph of few words, that IS Lost in the jargon of the writer that has elaborately designed a site for their own promotion…..
This IS NOT the way Jesus Taught, This IS NOT The way IT IS Written That Jesus Taught, AND *IF* we are going to proclaim The Gospel Message, That *IT* Be Received, shouldn’t we humble ~~Ourselves~~ at least to a level of belief, obedience, TO The Written Word, The Commands That God THE Father Gave us, Through HIS Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ… Keeping The Message ~Pure~ and unadulterated by the world or our own praise, honor, and glory of self?
(Malachi 2:7)… For the ~priest’s~ lips should keep knowledge, AND they should seek the law at his mouth: for ~he IS the~ “messenger of the LORD of hosts.”
(Malachi 3:1)… Behold, I Will Send, MY messenger, and he shall prepare the way before ME: and the Lord whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His Temple, even the Messenger OF The Covenant, Whom ye delight IN: Behold, He shall come, saith THE LORD of hosts…
*IT* Was Prophesied, by messengers of THE LORD! AND THEN!
(Matthew 3:1).. In those days came ~~John the Baptist~~, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea. AND THEN JESUS SAID!
(Matthew 11:10-11).. “For this IS he, of whom *IT IS Written*, behold, I Will send MY messenger before they face, which shall prepare the way before Thee…” Verily I say unto you, “Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding, he that ~~IS Least~ in the Kingdom of Heaven, *IS* greater than he.”
NOW take a moment to really consider what IS Written, AND don’t take what I have written, but open your King James Version of The Bible or an older version and read *IT*. Consider the Words That ARE Written, carefully, Pray sincerely that The Holy Ghost guide you into ~The~ knowledge that Jesus Christ would have you to learn, and share, with a “repentant, obedient, heart and mind… and let The Holy Ghost reveal the content of *THE Message* unto you, for the messenger that delivers *IT* IS the least of ~all~…
AS John the Baptist, did not abide in fancy temples, lined with gold to deliver the message of the Coming of God’s Kingdom, The Savior, The Son of God. He did not wear fancy robes, eat t-bone steaks, and caviar, but lived in the wilderness, and ate locust and honey, BUT faithfully paved the way for Jesus Christ THE Son of God…. He never promoted himself or bragged, “Look AT *ME*, how the LORD has blessed me with worldly things because I am good and I came before Christ did he? Consider this in the preaching and teaching of The Gospel OF Christ, and The Kingdom of God…. When either hearing or delivering the message.
Even Paul, had a thorn in the flesh to keep him from rising up to be ~TOO~ high on himself, in proud vanity of the world and It’s goods.
(II Corinthians 12:7).. And ~lest~ I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of revelations, there ~Was Given~ to me a “thorn in the flesh”, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure….
Then What Did Jesus Teach OF: Attitudes, Gratitude’s, Lifestyles?
(Luke 12:31).. “But rather ~~SEEK~~ ye The Kingdom of God, AND ~~ALL~~ these things shall be added unto you…. (We don’t gotta go out shopping for: fame, glory, riches, wealth, fortunes… Because we don’t need any of that To teach of God’s Kingdom, and *IF* we are teachers of God’s Kingdom we really need to Keep ourselves out of this life style Because, to promote IT tarnishes our witness before The LORD and man…
(James 1:11) for the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withered the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in ~His Ways~…
When we rise up in ~pride~ over our beauty, our intelligence, our talents, our gains, we are putting ourselves under the ~rising sun~ of destruction that withers and destroys our testimony of of The Kingdom of God…
We would do well to teach our children this, rather than teach them to follow the world in it’s fads, trends of beauty, make believe, and such….
(Jeremiah 9:23-24)… Thus saith The LORD, “Let NOT the ~wise~ glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let NOT the ~~Rich~~man flory in his riches: But, let him that *Glorieth* glory in This, that he understand and knoweth ME, That I am THE LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and ~~Righteousness,~~ In the earth: FOR IN These things I Delight,” Saith, THE LORD…
(Luke 17:21) .. Again Jesus Said, “Neither shall they say, Lo here! OR , Lo, there!, FOR Behold, The Kingdom of God *IS* within you.”
(John 3:5) .. Jesus answered, “Verily, Verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom OF God.”
So, there is definitely something that we, the clay, must do, and that something IS, we must humbly bow before The Potter in humble obedience, adhering TO HIS Will and Way, not attempting to preach the Gospel in our own, defiant proudness in our accomplishments, our amasses of wealth, what we can do… For without God we can do nothing… So our walk and our talk MUST reflect our humbleness in serving The LORD, IN worshiping The LORD, IN Testifying of: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost, and our manner and attitude MUST reveal our humble Thankfulness of HIS Mercy, not our accomplishments……
A good rule of thumb for “Christians”. *IF*, you feel the need to tell someone that you are A Christian, Then maybe you’d best take another look into the mirror of your life… At your manner of dress, IS your fleshly body covered well or do you reveal every skin cell on it? IS IT covered with the tattoos of Satan’s world? What does your face reveal? Is your make-up akin to Jezebel’s? What does you attitude reveal? Better than thou because , I AM Something Else? IF, a person IS A True follower of Christ, their walk in life, manner of dress, state of mind, *Attitude* of humble obedient thankfulness, will reveal The Kingdom of God within themselves… A Testimony of itself.
