Everything that I do is motivated by
the love that I have for My people. But, I also have another motivation and that
is for My name’s sake. I am not a man that I should lie. I am a God of
righteousness, integrity, honesty, and I am always found to be trustworthy.
Great is My faithfulness. This is my reputation, and these are the things that I
am known for.
My people are to be witnesses of Me, and that means that they have a
responsibility to honor My reputation. That means that My character should be
formed in them, and displayed through them. My people that are called by My
name, should be found motivated in their actions and their words to guard My
honor, and to be beyond reproach for My name’s sake.
Oh, say many say that it is all about Me, with never a thought of how their
actions are dishonoring My reputation. There real concern is not about Me, but
about themselves. My eyes are going to and fro over the earth looking for those
that are motivated in everything thing that they do, and everything that they
say for My name’s sake.
If only, I had a people that were really only concerned about the fact that
other’s see Me through their lives, even in the smallest things. If only, I
had a people that were more concerned about My reputation, and less about
theirs. Then truly the word would begin to be fulfilled as My word is made flesh
through those that are called by My name.
Oh there are those in the midst of My people that want to be a part of the
five-fold ministry. They want to be Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Preachers
and Teachers, and yet they are not concerned with My reputation. There are even
more concerned with positions and they lie, steal, and cheat to attain these
titles. They have no, or little, integrity and it blasphemes My Holy name.
The word commitment is foreign to many of these. Commitment to them is saying
one thing and doing another. Doing what they want to do, rather than what they
promised that they would do. They don’t know what it means to keep their word,
and be steadfast in their actions. They are neither concerned about their
reputations, and have no regard for mine. Their actions even cause Me to be
judged, for these are the people that are called by My name.
I will expose the hearts of those that hold their reputations so dear, and I
will reveal those that honor Me for My name’s sake. Watch now as I raise up a
people, that I will be honored to say that they are called by My name. Their
every motivation will be to bring glory and honor to their God. Their concern
will not be on themselves, but they will always be conscious of raising a
standard for others, and bringing honor again to My name. Oh, I am raising up a
people that will be held in high esteem in heaven, because they hold their God
in high esteem in the earth. And these shall be witnesses of Me, and My Kingdom.
