Moses to God: I have favor with You, You know me… Now, whatever you are doing in in MY life, do it in all these, the rest, the entire Body of Christ, as well!
God: I will bless you, be with you forever, and give you peace.
Moses: No, thats not good enough. It must be for everyone, even the weakest, most distracted and foolish believer. They all must come into Maturity, and fullness and oneness with Christ! This is what Jesus came for! This is the desire of the Son! His prayer! To be with them, forever, and them to be where He is, on the throne.
God: Ok.
God is looking for leaders who will not settle for being personally blessed, but will contend and not rest until all that they have, is also given in measure to the Body.
Musicians who teach others how to play, and to come into the presence of God, instead of settling for being in the limelight (such as that is, to whatever measure of influence and fame they may have), but will teach ‘the secrets’ of whatever it is that God has blessed them with. The practical, day to day stuff that works for them, and also imparting the more ephemeral (seemingly) activity of the Holy Ghost. Mantles, etc.
That is just one example, but it is far far far more than this. To have a heart, that we would contend for everyone to come into maturing, and to have the very indwelling Presence of God, and not just His blessings. Altho, I want those, too!
