Sitting At the Feet Of A Title August 7th Devotional

Read:

18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions.

Colossians 2:19

19 He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.

One day in my devotion with the Lord, I asked the Lord, "Lord, what office or title have you called me to?" I pretty much knew what God has called me to, but I wanted to hear it from God. With hesitaion and impatience, I heard a voice within me say, "Son, I called you to an office of character! With a little more humbleness, I asked the Lord, "Lord what gifts have you given me?" The voice within me said, "Son, I have given you gifts of love! I was pretty much corrected and reproved that day. Now, we know that God does give us gifts and moves some in an office, but the Lord was trying to make a point to me that day. How many times do we get caught up in the title thing? You hear some say, "I am a prophet or apostle of God, and it just don't seem pure to me at times." In the last days we are going to see more ministers in the church get inflated by the things that they have seen. We are going to also see the worship of angels get stronger in the days to come, and this is so dangerous to the body of Christ. It will cause a mixture to get in. This mixture will cause a false growth of weird and crazy manifestations other than God causing a growth to the body of Christ. This is why it is so important to have strong teachers of foundation to keep things flowing in the church. We need the whole body to function by revelation of who is the head of the church which is Christ Jesus, and we need to sit at the feet of Jesus in our devotion and corporate worship. Are we sitting at the feet of a title today? Do we love the things of God more than God himself, and this is causing a false growth to the body. Lets pray right now together, and lets repent for this lack of true growth.

Prayer:

Lord, we ask that you will forgive us by your blood for not holding to the head which is you Christ Jesus. We ask that you will breathe the breath of your spirit upon any false growth, and that it will break away any faulty foundation that ministers have laid. Breathe upon us now Lord, and we desire to walk in character, love, pure revelation, and walk in truth and soundness of your spirit, Amen.
