(Nuggets from Romans 11:29)
God's GIFTS and CALLING are not subject to a change of mind. God does not RETRACT, WITHDRAW, RECANT or REVOKE His gifts both to His Angels and to mortal men.
Lucifer was an Angel in Heaven before his rebellion.
Ezekiel 28:12-15 highlights the extent of endowment Lucifer had:
- Lucifer was full of WISDOM,
- Lucifer was PERFECT IN BEAUTY
- Lucifer was BEAUTIFIED and COVERED with PRECIOUS STONES like SARDIUS, TOPAZ, DIAMOND, BERYL, ONYX, JASPER, SAPPHIRE, EMERALD, CARBUNCLE, and GOLD.
- Lucifer was the ANOINTED CHERUB that covered God's throne with his wings.
- Lucifer was PERFECT
Imagine the calibre of Angel Lucifer was, adorned with such GLORY and BEAUTY, but because of His rebellion, He was evicted from Heaven.
EVERYTHING WAS GOING WELL UNTIL SIN HAPPENED.
One would have thought that the moment he rebelled with his ⅓ of Angels, God would strip him of all the POWER, GLORY and EVERY GIFT he had, but God didn't REVOKE any.
This is the same POWER he is using today to DECEIVE the world and lure souls to hell.
God knew he would use these powers wrongly, and we have no right to question God's decision, because GOD'S GIFTS ARE IRREVOCABLE.
What about 'men of god', prophets, evangelists, and leaders in the household of Faith who are endowed with diverse gifts?
They heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils, perform miracles that show you clearly that they HAVE THE CALLING OF GOD ON THEIR HEADS, but unfortunately, THEY LIVE IN SIN whilst doing exploits for God.
They would feel COMFORTABLE IN SUCH SINS because the devil deceives them into believing that their gifts would commend them before God. To make matters worse, the devil would make such a person believe that the Spirit of God is still with them, not knowing that He departed long ago.
The fact that THE GIFT'S AND CALLING OF GOD should give you mixed feelings: EXCITEMENT as a GENUINE CHILD OF GOD, and WORRIES as an OLD PROPHET and BACKSLIDEN MIRACLE WORKER because GIFTS CANNOT SECURE A PLACE FOR YOU IN HEAVEN, ONLY THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT CAN.
BEING ENDOWED WITH THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT ARE WONDERFUL, BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT ARE MORE IMPORTANT; ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LIVE RIGHT, GET THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT AND UTILIZE YOUR GOD-GIVEN GIFTS WITH CAUTION, FEAR AND TREMBLING.
REMEMBER, LUCIFER'S GIFTS WERE NOT REVOKED!
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
