THINKING WITH CHRIS CHRISTIAN VOL. 8

Don’t serve God until you discover what you are born to do for Him. What you are born to do for God is controlled by what you have the grace to do. What you can do for God is what He has wired you for. No two persons are born to do the same thing for God. Peter was different from James; they were separated by their assignments. It is your endowments that determines what you can do for God and it is the duty of your second person to reveal what you have. You will know your endowments after you have revealed your second person. If you serve God without knowing who you are, and what you should use to serve Him, you will only remain confused. If you don’t discover what you have that you can use to serve God, you will keep struggling to serve Him as if grace was not given to you but God does not want us to struggle.

Service is more of a “being” and “a becoming,” than “a doing.” What Moses, Elijah and Jesus did more in service was becoming worthy to serve. A carpenter can’t stand before God, so Jesus had to become Christ first before serving because only Christ can stand before God, not Jesus. Moses did not qualify to go to Pharaoh, only a god could. So, Moses waited for eighty years until he became a god. Don’t do anything until you discover that you have the grace to do it. You cannot serve God with a grace you don’t have. You may be able to start, but you can’t continue.
