Are you Christ’s donkey? The present Church of Christ is not seeing the measure of signs and wonders the early Church saw because we have much fewer donkeys of Christ than they had. This poses as a big limitation to the manifestation of God’s power in our time. This post encourages you to become a true Jesus donkey and then walk on blessings.
Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road - Mark 11:7-8 (NKJV)
Even so on your part, when you have done everything that was assigned and commanded you, say, We are unworthy servants [possessing no merit, for we have not gone beyond our obligation]; we have [merely] done what was our duty to do - Luke 17:10 (AMPC).
Many Christian believers truly want to serve God but they are not fully ready to be His donkey. This may be due to ignorance, pride or greed depending on their level of understanding. What they seem not to understand is that being Christ’s donkey draws blessings to them, including material blessings.
A donkey is seen as a lowly animal compared to a horse. Jesus rode on it as a king into Jerusalem, however, it was the donkey that rode on the clothes and leafy branches spread on the road for Jesus. So, you being Christ’s donkey gives you the opportunity to get the blessings while He gets the praises. Unfortunately, this is not the case with the church presently.
Many people are serving God but Christ’s manifestations are limited in their ministry because they are either sharing the podium with Christ or are more interested in their bellies (Romans 16:18): what to have, eat and wear (Matthew 6:25-34), and so mix God’s will with theirs. Read more...
