Assistant who wants to “BE” for God…

Today’s post will be very short and simple, but it will enable you to ponder and think well about your words before pronouncing them, so that there’s life behind them and not just because others are saying the same thing.
Lately, this phrase has been used a lot: “I want to “BE” for God!”
Many mention that they don’t only want to do, but “BE”!
However, we have noticed that these words turn out to be a “system” and not a lived reality. I say this, because as I was hearing someone saying this phrase: “I want to “BE” for God…” I myself asked God within me: BE for God? After all, what does it mean in a clear and practical way? Show me my God!
It was then that came to my mind the word BE, which is “loaded” with deepness and that reveals in essence, what it really means to “BE” for God.
Note and analyze with me:
Sacrifice vs. egoism, individualism;
Surrendering (100%) vs. retaining, not giving;
Revolt vs. accommodation, excitement, anger.
So I can conclude that to “BE” for God is to “BE” of sacrifice, surrendering and revolt. But sadly many live contrary to that, being selfish, individualistic, retain and do not give up their “I” … living an accommodated life, always in the sameness, presenting to God the same sacrifices … thus getting the same results as always: FAILURES AND FRUSTRATIONS.
And now, you will think twice before speaking that you want to “BE” for God?

Although I am not an assistant, I do want to be for God, not just ‘do’. I believe the desire should be within you whether you have a title or not. It’s always good to prepare yourself for the blessing that way when you receive it, you won’t lose it. So before we receive any title such as asst. , pastor’s wife, bishop, etc … We should have the desire “To be” (sacrifice, surrender, revolt) planted within our hearts just like Abraham did!

The only way that qualifies us to be of God.is daily sacrifice.

Thanks Mrs Viv, I have learned that this word “BE” carries a great value of meaning.
