Exodus 9:16 “But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you MY power, so that MY NAME may be proclaimed in all the earth.”
Meant Two!
We follow HIM WHO knew no sin; whose grace alone sufficient…
…WHO took our blame upon HIS NAME; each stain and act — malicious.
So keep your vows to chase HIM now and not to doubt HIS promise…
…since those souls who do not follow GOD remain in faithless bondage!
As we then are well positioned to extend CHRIST’s loving rescue…
…let us freely speak of CHRIST WHO saved us to live as we’re meant to!
As HIServant eternally grateful that CHRIST’s sacrifice and resurrection gifts us to freely live as HE intended,

Devotional: Romans 8:28 “And we know that for those who love GOD all things work together for good, for those who are called according to HIS purpose.”
Some of the freest CHRISTians I know of are/were those who wholly knew they were HIS bondservants.
Watchman Nee is one such example. He chose not to escape China but to stay and preach to those HE felt called to.
To those he felt he was meant to evangelize.
Acts 6:26 “But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you…”
Often imprisoned, he declined man’s offer of freedom to do as he felt GOD calling and drawing him to do.
That’s someone who knows whose child they are.
That’s someone who knows that being HIS bondservant is THE priority over any other role.
May we both then keep the same focus and devotion…as we’re meant too!
Amen and amen!
