FAITH CAPSULE: Are you answering to any title that is in line with the assignment of God?

Acts 19:1-20

What is your title before God?
Answering titles in the place of engaging tasks is a responsibility that counts before God.
Answering titles, in the business of God, demands giving yourself to God, not impressing the world because God is watching all with no exception.
Answering the title of your choice but not of God is self-deception. 
One with self-deception will be conversant to telling lies, to deceive and manipulate the world.
Are you answering to title for what God did not call you to be?
The Bible records the story of Apostle Paul answering the calling of God, with the title as Apostle of God.
The documentation of Paul compares his calling by God to the Jewish exorcists that call themselves and not by God. Acts 19:11-17 records, “Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” Also, there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them and prevailed against them so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus, and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.” 
Are you assuming a title to take up an assignment before God but not living life with a task, pleasing God?
The written word of God is for learning to understand and know to navigate this wicked world, to live life for the glory of God. 
Learn to know the documentation of itinerant Jewish exorcists that gave themselves to answer the title that is not of God.
Are you seeking God or seeking a man with the title?
What is your title? 
Are you self-appointed one with titles such as Apostle, Prophet, or Pastor, parading as one that is answering to the calling of God?
You need no man to help you for deceiving yourself with a title.
Do not live life like the itinerant Jewish with the experience of mockery that exposed them as a deceiver of their world.
Give yourself to the given task of God in your life, not just answering to your choice of the title.
Come out of religion and give yourself to the reality of Christ. 
The judgment of God is not asleep but will come at His appointed time.
Live right, engage the task of God that is more important than the assigned title you answer.
Your engaged task counts more than title before God!

Prayer for today:  Ask that God fill you with the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding to live life for His glory.
