THE\u00a0KINGDOM LIFESTYLE:\u00a0IT\u2019S\u00a0ABOUT COMMENDING AND COMPLEMENTING –\u00a0NOT\u00a0ABOUT COMPARING!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For those who\u00a0compare are not wise in\u00a0the\u00a0grace –\u00a0that’s\u00a0the\u00a0fundamental truth of\u00a0the\u00a0Gospel,\u00a0irrespective to all. In\u00a0the\u00a0realm of grace by\u00a0the\u00a0Holy Spirit,\u00a0kingdom affairs and lifestyle are\u00a0about ensuring God\u2019s\u00a0goodwill\u00a0in each other,\u00a0not\u00a0self-gratification at\u00a0the\u00a0expense of another through comparison,\u00a0undermining\u00a0God’s\u00a0graciousness\u00a0and gracefulness in another.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0kingdom advancement of God is to keep\u00a0the\u00a0enemy at bay for\u00a0God\u2019s glory and\u00a0humanity\u2019s good;\u00a0it’s\u00a0not in\u00a0the\u00a0hands of any individual, no matter how highly men applaud them. Instead,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0about God\u2019s\u00a0approval, accreditation,\u00a0attestation\u00a0and commendation, as seen in\u00a0Christ Jesus. God’s approval\u00a0is possible for\u00a0all in\u00a0the\u00a0grace through\u00a0THE\u00a0WORD, except one is REPROBATE to\u00a0the\u00a0TRUTH of\u00a0the\u00a0Gospel of\u00a0our\u00a0God in Christ Jesus\u2019 stead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man ACCREDITED and POINTED OUT and ATTESTED [APPROVED] to you by God with [the\u00a0power to perform] miracles and wonders and signs which God worked through Him in your\u00a0[very] midst, just as you yourselves know”<\/i>\u00a0Acts 2:22\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Study and DO your\u00a0best to present yourself to God APPROVED, a workman [TESTED by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, ACCURATELY handling and SKILLFULLY teaching\u00a0THE\u00a0WORD OF TRUTH”<\/i>\u00a02 Timothy 2:15\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“EXAMINE yourselves, WHETHER ye be in\u00a0THE\u00a0FAITH; PROVE your\u00a0own selves. Know ye not your\u00a0own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES?”<\/i>\u00a02 Corinthians 13:5<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore,\u00a0don’t\u00a0give in\u00a0to\u00a0the\u00a0Licentiousness of men\u2019s applause, comparing yourself to fellow Believers or Ministers in\u00a0the\u00a0Gospel of\u00a0our\u00a0Saviour\u00a0and Lord Jesus Christ. For those who indulge\u00a0in such\u00a0comparison are unwise\u00a0having deviated from\u00a0the\u00a0faith of\u00a0the\u00a0Gospel. They are creating envy, strife, malice, and affliction, hindering\u00a0the\u00a0goodwill of others in\u00a0the\u00a0kingdom as\u00a0it’s\u00a0written:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even from ENVY and STRIFE, and some also from GOODWILL: 16\u00a0The\u00a0former preach Christ from SELFISH AMBITION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to ADD AFFLICTION to my chains; 17 but\u00a0the\u00a0latter out of LOVE, knowing that I am appointed for\u00a0the\u00a0defense\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in PRETENSE or in TRUTH, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice”<\/i>\u00a0Philippians 1:15-18\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I pray that humility rules and reigns,\u00a0submitting\u00a0to\u00a0the\u00a0Kingdom\u00a0cause\u00a0of\u00a0our\u00a0God. For\u00a0our\u00a0God exalts\u00a0the\u00a0humble and despises pride and arrogance in\u00a0the\u00a0grace\u00a0[1 Peter 5:5-7; James 4:6].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Be Blessed in\u00a0the\u00a0grace, with\u00a0the\u00a0spirit of complimenting and commending one another in\u00a0the\u00a0grace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN\u00a0THE\u00a0CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Look at [this obvious fact] which is before your\u00a0eyes. If anyone is confident that he is Christ’s, let him reflect and remind himself that even as he is Christ’s, so too are we. 8 For even though I boast rather freely about\u00a0our\u00a0power and authority, which\u00a0the\u00a0Lord gave for your\u00a0upbuilding and not for demolishing you, yet I shall not be put to shame [for exceeding\u00a0the\u00a0truth], 9 Neither would I seem to be overawing or frightening you with my letters; 10 For they say, His letters are weighty and impressive and forceful and telling, but his personality and bodily presence are weak, and his speech and delivery are utterly contemptible (of no account). 11 Let such people realize that what we say by letters when we are absent, [we put] also into deeds when we are present \u2013 12 Not that we [have\u00a0the\u00a0audacity to] venture to class or [even to] compare ourselves with some who exalt and furnish testimonials for themselves! However, when they measure themselves with themselves and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding and behave unwisely. 13 We, on\u00a0the\u00a0other hand, will not boast beyond\u00a0our\u00a0legitimate province and proper limit, but will keep within\u00a0the\u00a0limits [of\u00a0our\u00a0commission which] God has allotted us as\u00a0our\u00a0measuring\u00a0line\u00a0and which reaches and includes even you. 14 For we are not overstepping\u00a0the\u00a0limits of\u00a0our\u00a0province and stretching beyond\u00a0our\u00a0ability to reach, as though we reached not (had no legitimate mission) to you, for we were [the\u00a0very first] to come even as far as to you with\u00a0the\u00a0good news (the\u00a0Gospel) of Christ. 15 We do not boast therefore, beyond\u00a0our\u00a0proper limit, over other men’s\u00a0labors, but we have\u00a0the\u00a0hope and confident expectation that as your\u00a0faith continues to grow,\u00a0our\u00a0field among you may be greatly enlarged, still within\u00a0the\u00a0limits of\u00a0our\u00a0commission, 16 So that [we may even] preach\u00a0the\u00a0Gospel in lands [lying] beyond you, without making a boast of work already done in another [man’s] sphere of activity [before we came on\u00a0the\u00a0scene]. 17 However, let him who BOASTS and GLORIES boast and glory in\u00a0the\u00a0Lord. 18 For [it is] not [the\u00a0man] who praises and COMMENDS himself who is APPROVED and ACCEPTED, but [it is\u00a0the\u00a0person] whom\u00a0the\u00a0Lord ACCREDITS and COMMENDS”<\/i>\u00a02 Corinthians 10:7-18\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SUMMARY:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0message emphasises\u00a0the\u00a0importance of living a kingdom lifestyle that focuses on commending and complementing others, rather than comparing oneself to others. Comparison is unwise and can lead to envy, strife, malice, and affliction,\u00a0ultimately hindering\u00a0the\u00a0goodwill of others in\u00a0the\u00a0kingdom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

  2. Humility is Essential<\/i><\/b>: Humility is crucial for kingdom living, as God exalts\u00a0the\u00a0humble and despises pride and arrogance.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Comparison is Unwise:<\/i><\/b>\u00a0Comparing oneself to others is unwise and deviates from\u00a0the\u00a0faith of\u00a0the\u00a0Gospel.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Focus on God’s Goodwill<\/i><\/b>: Kingdom affairs and lifestyle should focus on ensuring God’s goodwill in each other, rather than self-gratification.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
