You are God’s conduit

‘...it is God who works in you...’ Philippians 2:13 NKJV

A conduit is a channel through which things like water and electricity move from one point to another, and you are God’s conduit! You are designed to be a free-flowing channel for Jesus Christ Himself. God has chosen you to be His ‘change-agent’ in the earth. In the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:10) the original Greek says, ‘Come thy kingdom. Be done thy will.’ Jesus no longer walks among us physically, but He has given us His mandate and all the power we need to carry it out. In other words, it’s going to happen through you. God promised Israel ‘Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours…’ (Deuteronomy 11:24 NKJV) We bring the influence and benefits of God’s Kingdom wherever we go. The problem is, our ‘receivers’ don’t always work. It takes faith to believe we actually hear God’s instructions, just as it takes faith to believe an unseen radio wave is passing through our living rooms. Because we’re confident of that reality, we tune in, receive and transmit. Scientists tell us that the greatest metal conduit is pure gold. According to the Bible, ‘…the genuineness of your faith…much more precious than gold…’ (1 Peter 1:7 NKJV) Certain obstacles can block our ability to receive and be conduits for God. If our hearts are hard, our wires are down or if we’re unaware of our identity as conduits, we go through life without tapping into the power God’s given us. We must be full of the Word of God and, most importantly, spend time in intimacy with the Lord in order to be God’s conduit.
