Out of The Larva cell
Thursday, July 7, 2022
The Honeycomb
When a bee starts out in life, it does so as a larva and the new-born bee does nothing but eat. In a real short time, the bee leaves the larva stage and steps out of its cell and begins immediately helping out. No longer does it have anyone feed it, it's helping to feed others. It goes very quickly from being ministered to ministering to others, the fellow bees. In this way, bees are a lot wiser than a lot of believers. You see, as believers, we tend to get into a mode of expecting others to minister to us and our effectiveness for God is hindered. Be free my friend. Forget about your needs, minister to the needs of others. Forget about having others love you, you love others. Forget about having others reach out to you, you reach out to others. Forget about having others bless you, you bless others. Because only then can we attain the maturity of Messiah. It's time for maturity. It's time to grow up and fulfill our calling and become conformed to His image. It all begins when you step out of the larva cell.

Today's Mission
Be the blessing to others in acts of kindness, show love, find a need and fulfill it, this is your calling to serve in His name.

1 Corinthians 2:5-7
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
I was unsure of how to go about this, and felt totally inadequate—I was scared to death, if you want the truth of it—and so nothing I said could have impressed you or anyone else. But the Message came through anyway. God’s Spirit and God’s power did it, which made it clear that your life of faith is a response to God’s power, not to some fancy mental or emotional footwork by me or anyone else.

We, of course, have plenty of wisdom to pass on to you once you get your feet on firm spiritual ground, but it’s not popular wisdom, the fashionable wisdom of high-priced experts that will be out-of-date in a year or so. God’s wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don’t find it lying around on the surface. It’s not the latest message, but more like the oldest—what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene. The experts of our day haven’t a clue about what this eternal plan is. If they had, they wouldn’t have killed the Master of the God-designed life on a cross. That’s why we have this Scripture text:

No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this,
Never so much as imagined anything quite like it—
What God has arranged for those who love him.

But you’ve seen and heard it because God by his Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you.

The Spirit, not content to flit around on the surface, dives into the depths of God, and brings out what God planned all along. Who ever knows what you’re thinking and planning except you yourself? The same with God—except that he not only knows what he’s thinking, but he lets us in on it. God offers a full report on the gifts of life and salvation that he is giving us. We don’t have to rely on the world’s guesses and opinions. We didn’t learn this by reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us person-to-person through Jesus, and we’re passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND WEEKEND.
