READ:
MATTHEW 11:28-30
The Bible
clearly teaches that we are into partnership with the Almighty. The fact of a
partnership presupposes that there would be partners. Partners are not equal in
rights. There are seniors and juniors in a partnership. God is a senior
partner. He is the Originator and Executor of the divine enterprise. He creates
all things. You can only be equal to Him when you too can create all things!
And for as long as human beings remain incapable of this, He remains the Head
of any business, family, and ministry. Although when the power of God comes
into operation in your ministry and miracles begin to happen, the tendency or temptation
is to dispense with or diminish the status of the Senior Partner. This
ultimately leads to destruction because a house that forgets its foundation
will surely crumble. Without the foundation there would not have been the
house. Jesus is the beginning, the foundation. Without Him, you and your
ministry are nothing. The passage also says that He is the first-born from the
dead, the first-born of God. In all the cultures of the world, the first-born
is given preference. Lot ended up so badly because he did not let Abraham, his
elder, choose first. Lastly, because God is the Senior Partner, He has the
final say. If God is not allowed to give the final say in your life you will
make grievous mistakes and enter into damnation ultimately.
MEMORISE:
GENESIS 17:1 –When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram
and said to him, I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.
