Help Wanted

Job Title - Bondservants

There are many positions open for this opportunity. This job is available to anyone that meets the following requirements.

Qualifications; Must hate this present world and all that it offers.(Galatians 6:14) Must be willing to freely share all that is paid to them for their service. (Acts 4) Must not care for or pursue personal possessions. (1Timothy 6:7) Must be ready and willing to engage in battle with forces that are not of this world. (Ephesians 6) Must be willing to lay down their life for their friends. (John 15) Must have the Holy Spirit (Acts 1) Must be willing to be purged of sin, sanctified, and prepared for good works. (2 Timothy 3:21)

Job Description: The victorious candidate will first deny himself or herself. This will be represented by a change in lifestyle that will be evident to all around them. They will then take up their responsibility to serve God in and through the church. This will be done while following the lead of Jesus Christ. Once the candidate has completed these first steps they will then be asked to GO!. This position requires action. This is not a passive position. Those that go will engage in making disciples, tearing down the works of the devil, and setting captives free.

Warning – do not be fooled by other similar job offers that never really get to the end result of making disciples, tearing down the works of the devil, or setting captives free. These offers can be easily spotted as counterfeits by the offer itself. If it emphasizes community, belonging, low commitment, or anything else that appears to fill a need in your life and it does this above or before your recognition of your state as a sinner in need of forgiveness, it is likely a fraud. If the offer is presented in a light hearted and clever presentation separated by attempts at humor it might be a scam. The easiest way to avoid be taken by these false offers is to recognize that God is God and He does not transact with you He relates to you in order to transform you.

If you are interested in exploring this opportunity send your qualifications along with the answers to the following questions.

1. When did you receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit?
2. When was the last time you had the opportunity to lead someone to the Lord?
3. Do you feel that your faith currently resembles what you see portrayed in Scripture?
4. Do you really think that if you keep doing the same things over and over you will get a different result?

I'm glad I'm not the only bothered by this stuff.
