Romans 12:1 tells us that we ought to
offer our bodies as a living sacrifice pure and holy before God, for
this is the perfect will of God. Some versions says this is the true act
of worship.
There are two wills of God. The permissive and the
perfect. The permissive works with principles while the perfect is out
of true worship , love and trust. Ishmael was born out of the
permissive will of God while Isaac was born out of the perfect will of
God . Saul became king as a result of
the permissive will of God while David became king as a result of the
perfect will of God. Samson's gift of strength was in the permissive
will that is why he fought the Philistines even when he was in adultery.
Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs when he was in the perfect will of
God but Ecclestiastis when he was in the permissive will of God.
One point is clear , what is led by the perfect will of God is backed up
by God , it is long lasting and has a good testimony. What is of the
permissive will is short lived and is always half baked and is limited.
Moses understood this principle and told God that he does not want to go
with an angel but with God Himself . The difference between going with
God and going with an angel is this. With God you have the full package
while with an angel you are limited in all ways. With God you are in the
perfect will, with an angel you are in the permissive will of God. This
is more evident when you compare Jesus' healing at the pool of
Bethsaida and how the angel did the same miracle.
It is this
principle that determines how long and firm a ministry can last . So ask
yourself whether you are in the perfect or permissive will of God.
Shalom.
Evangelist Steve Omodecx
