BIBLE READING: Matthew 7:21-23
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
MESSAGE:
Would it not be such a disappointment to have done so much for God, and then on the last day, when you expect to receive a crown, He says, “I never knew you”? My dear child, you really need to be sure that you have a relationship with Jesus while you are here on earth. You need to check thoroughly if your faith is truly from your heart and not just to deceive the public.
The fact that you call yourself a believer or firebrand is not enough because 2 Corinthians 10:18 says: “For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.” It is not about what you call yourself but what God calls you. It is important not to get carried away by mere religious activity but rather pay attention to bearing the fruit of the Spirit.
Conduct a self-check today: is your lifestyle in line with God’s word? Are you genuinely studying your Bible daily, praying in tongues, fasting, and evangelising for the purpose of God’s kingdom, or are you only doing these things to show that you are a spiritual person? Please note that no ‘ceremonial Christian’ will make it to heaven.
PRAYER POINT:
Lord Jesus, let my relationship with You remain genuine, and let everything I do be inspired by the Holy Spirit.
