Being a Good Conductor of the Lord

UV 1317/10,000 Being a Good Conductor of the Lord
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

Revelation 3 v 15
God expects us to either reject Him outright or be zealous and enthusiastic for Him. He cannot stand those who are neither here nor there, who are noncommittal and lethargic in their faith and its expression. He cannot be second place in our order of priorities. He expects us to be good conductors of His holiness, His Word, His presence, His blessings, His visions, His teachings. We are to be good conductors of the sanctification that comes from the blood of Jesus.

Our works of faith will reveal whether we are good conductors for the Lord. When we conduct the heat of God’s word, even our enemies and barriers will melt like melt in His presence. When we carry God’s word in our hearts, we are literally carrying God in our hearts. When we conduct the promises of God, we are conveying the blessings, power and grace of the Lord. When we are whole hearted in our love and commitment to the Lord, we are declared good conductors. We are the equivalent of precious metals for the Lord- like gold and platinum in human economy. We are “cold” either when we do not believe the Word or when we believe but do not obey. Our conduct should be aligned with the precepts that the Lord has taught us.

We are good conductors for the Lord when we are witnesses, in all that we say and do, of His love, mercy and grace. We are good conductors when we are filled with the Holy Spirit and are guided by Him in all our decisions, actions and reactions. A good conductor should have a high melting point in order to avoid melting while conducting the high levels of heat to which it is subjected. Similarly, our faith, endurance and persistence should be of a high order so that we overcome the difficulties and challenges we face in life. Our love for God and others should not decline over time but it should grow in all knowledge and judgement. Good conductors are also malleable. We should not at the same time be rigid and judgemental but be flexible so that the Lord can shape up as He wills and wishes. We should not struggle or wrestle against God or resist His move in our lives.
