To Be A Pattern

Luke 12:48(KJV); …For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

The responsibility of every child of God to whom much has been entrusted is to become a pattern to them that must come after.

Everything that is added to you, whether it is the anointing, glory or power comes with this responsibility.

Take the example of the life of Christ. He was anointed of God; He was mantled and crowned with wisdom; He was strong in power.

The testimony of His life is that whatsoever He did was a pattern to be followed.

The way He healed teaches; the way He related with His persecutors, disciples, rulers and children teaches; the way He responded to situations teaches.

There are those who look at the anointing and glory as a means to a better life for them; a way for them to have enough to feed their children and have bigger homes.

That is a narrow and shallow view of divine purpose.

You owe the world something and heaven is counting on you.

You must look at yourself as a pattern.

Your life must be that whenever someone looks at you, you are like a book that teaches them about God whenever they read it.

Glory to God!

PRAYER: Father God, I thank you for this instruction. You have invested too much in me that I can never be mediocre. Greatness is my portion and story. I am an epistle written by the spirit and read by all men. When the world looks at me, it sees the great work that you are doing in and by me. My life teaches and instructs. To the glory of your name. Amen.
