It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. When was the last time you told someone about the goodness of Jesus Christ? When was the last time you testified about the many wonderful things God has done for you? When was the last time you thanked the Lord for being there for you? When was the last time you did what the Lord said without trying to negotiate or bargain? When was the last time you opened your Bible and read God’s Word? When was the last time you replaced your complaining with praise? When was the last time you said “Yes” to God’s will and “No” to your flesh? Many times in life, we become bombarded with life’s daily demands. We find ourselves overwhelmed with daily tasks that pull us further and further away from what really matters. Have you ever been there? Are you there now?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. When was the last time you rebuked yourself from thinking God owed you something? I know it is easy to get caught up on “you” but be not deceived. This is not about you. This is all about the Lord Jesus Christ (Colossians 3:17). Allow me to ask you a very serious question. My friend, Are You truly on the Lord’s side? No matter what happens, are you truly committed to serving the Lord? Come what may, are you willing to stand on the Word of God. The Bible declares in James 1:8 – A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. There are so many people who desire to serve the Lord with stipulations. These are the people who say, “Lord I will do this, if you do this!” This Christian journey is far from easy. It is not a bed of roses but obeying God makes it easier.
My brother, my sister, Are You persuaded that nothing shall be able to separate you from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39)? There will be days when you will feel alone. There will be nights when you wonder if anyone still cares. During these times you must be certain that your life rests in the hands of Almighty God. The devil will do his best to detour you off course. he will try to make you curse God. The Bible declares in Romans 4:21 – And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Beloved, your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ must grow further than lip service. Your mouth should speak what your heart leaks. If Jesus is in your heart your mouth will always speak of Him. Are You on the Lord’s side? If not, there is still time for you! My Prayer for You: Father, help my brother/sister to fully submit his/her life over to You. In the name of Jesus … Amen!
