“The Blender”
Friday, May 24, 2024Key Verse
“And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;” 2 Corinthians 5:18
Text — 2Corinthians 5:17-21
Message
A blender is an electric mixing machine used to mix foods or fruits by turning them into liquid substance. The blender in this piece is being used as a symbol to represent the reconciliation work committed into the care of friends of Jesus.
As friends of Jesus, you are called into the ministry of reconciliation. Always ensure that you walk worthy of the calling of God in your life so you can fulfil the reason why God brought you into this world. Be like the blender that mixes all kinds of fruits and blend them smoothly together to the point that you can’t tell the difference in character or conduct again because the light of Christ is now shining in you. Don’t always be the one tearing others down or be the one separating friends, but be an example of the believers, in words, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. (1 Timothy 4:12) There are great blessings for exemplary life. These include – promotion, protection, preservation, and provision of all good things of life.
