Response-Ability
What is your response-ability?
Are you morally accountable, reliable and trustworthy.
Matthew 25:14 is the parable of the talents.
n it the master gave responsibilities - based upon abilities.
Two acted responsibly and one did not.
God holds people accountable – both good and bad.
What did He say to the two?
Well done! You have operated in good faith with your response-abilities.
Luke 12:48 For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much be required:
What is required for you to receive the things that God offers you?
It’s your ability to respond in good faith. You must be response-able.
Here’s the way that it works:
- OFFER = You hear of it.
- EVALUATION = You hear of the reputation of the one making the offer.
- ACCEPTANCE = You convert the offer into a contract.
- COMMITMENT = You sign on the dotted line or make a verbal commitment.
- CELEBRATION = From the moment you commit
to the contract, you should begin praising & thanking God, (using
the shield of faith), and continue until the contract is completely
fulfilled.
- FULFILLMENT = You receiving the fruit of the contract.
Your reputation, (or righteousness), completely throughout the above
process, is based upon your response-ability, be it Good or bad. TGM

Living In
Agreement
by Tim Greenwood
|
Where there is agreement, strength is multiplied.
In addition 1+1 = 2, but when one shifts to agreement something called synergy must be factored into the equation.
Let’s say one 2x4 can support 100 lbs, but if we put two of them together, you’d think
it would support 200 lbs. (100 + 100 =200). But you’re not factoring in
synergy (the power of agreement) for it now multiplies what it will
support to nearly double, almost 400 lbs.
This works with people too. When people enter into agreement, synergy
comes into play and multiplication occurs, greatly increasing the
potential far beyond what each individual can produce on their own.
Ecclesiastes 4:9 says that two are better than one, because they will have prosperity.
You may say, “I’m just better off by myself.” No, the Bible says that “two are better than one.”
Vs. 10:
- Two create a better return for their work.
- Two mean that there is help in weakness or times of trouble.
- Two means that there is warmth. (Naturally and spiritually).
- Two can defend themselves better (during a battle).
Agreement is a contractual relationship.
Today, the SELF is being elevated above all else. Serve yourself,
seek oneself, know yourself, watch yourself, live for yourself, lift
yourself, embrace yourself, acknowledge yourself, honour yourself.
An independent, self-willed person thinks only of themself. Arrogance,
me-ism, selfishness and self entitlement – is so against the Word
and will of God.
Understanding the value of agreement is rapidly being lost in today’s
society. And as a result, the benefits of sharing and caring about
others and lifting them up and coming into agreement with others is
also diminishing.
Live in agreement: With the Word of God (Luke 5:5).
Peter gives all of his reasons why not (disclaimer) and then - never the less, “at Your Word”.
- Peter came into agreement with Jesus.
- He committed to Jesus’ Word by his word.
- He entered into a contractual relationship in good faith or faith.
You too need to start
converting what Jesus said and what God said: those promises, those
good faith offers; into good faith contracts – by coming into agreement
with Him.
- The doctor may say “You’re going to die”! But the Word says: By His stripes you are healed!
- The world says “It’s impossible” – But the Word says “All things are possible to him that believes”, (or comes into good faith agreement).
Not only in emergencies like
911, not just after you’ve exhausted every other means, not as a
parachute or a fire extinguisher – but make agreement a way of life!
Live in agreement with those God has connected you with.
Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, “A three strand cord is not easily
broken.” Rope or cord, woven in multiplicity is much stronger
than a standard one or two strand rope.
The Old Testament: says that not everyone can work alongside of just anyone. “Don’t yoke an ox and an ass together.”
Why? Because the brute force of the ox would end up just dragging along the reluctant, self serving, self-willed ass.
The two must AGREE WITH EACH OTHER, compliment and work well with each other – before they come into agreement.
The same thing with sheep and goats. They just don’t work well together because they have completely different mind sets.
And finally: 1 Corinthians 1:10 says that we should make living in agreement our way of life!TGM
Every promise in the Bible
is a Good Faith Contract
