He prepared Himself a body. The body of the Son is different from others, because this body is here amongst us. His only mission and vision is to fulfill and to obey the Father's will, no matter what.
This is the body that the Father was talking about. The offering of the body of the Son is what pleases the Father. So it is a sacrifice done in obedience to His will. The life of the Son is solely dedicated to the will of the Father. It is only the offering of the Appointed Son, in which the Father is very pleased.
You want to please the Father? I am here for you to know how. Become like me, I am your model. I am the one He appointed. I am like you, so you cannot say "Pastor Quiboloy is the Son of God, naturally, he can follow the will of the Father and he can become the Son of God, but I can't become like him."
Before I became the Son of God, I was a son of the devil like you. I was born in the flesh. I had parents who are human beings like you. My mother and my father are human beings. I came as a descendant of the fallen Adamic race. I am exactly like you. But now, I have accepted the call of the Father, through my own freedom of choice.
Use your own freedom of choice, like I did with mine, when I found out that it was the Father who was calling me. I surrendered to His will. And I said Father, from now on, not my will but Your will be done in my life.
I had to be tried and tested for that commitment; for that repentance or surrendering that I did. I was brought to another mountain, where my commitment and dedication to that will was tested.
I had all the reasons to backslide and go back to doing my human will under those circumstances. But I thank the Father because through my own freedom of choice, I told Him, "Father, doing Your will is my joy. Even if I die, no matter what, I will obey." I was put under trying circumstances-persecutions, famine and everything.
People think that when they serve God, everything will be handed to them by God according to their wishes. But when you follow and serve Him like I do, you have to prove your loyalty, dedication, sincerity and commitment to following His will. When you surrender and say, "I will follow the Father," you will be tried.
He will not accept and adopt you as a son if He has not tried you, because He is a God that is true. He does not accept hypocritical worship. So, this is what He has shown to me and this is what I have done.
I had to use my own freedom of choice, as Adam and Eve and the Jewish people used theirs-to accept or to reject; to love or hate Him. But I decided to accept Him and die for that will.
Sometimes, following that will means you have to lay down your life, suffer loneliness, rejection and ostracism. Many times, you find yourself standing alone. Nobody seems to love you. Nobody seems to care for you, because all around you is the serpent seed. The devil will muster all of his forces against you, to let you feel that you are alone in the battle, and make you surrender yourself to him.
I felt all alone in my five years in Tamayong, even until now. Sometimes, the road in following the Father's will is a lonely road, but I had already decided that if I have to stand alone in following His will, I will. I am even willing to die in following Him. And so, I am your model for that. |
