Word For 6/11/2022

 

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘LORD, LORD,’ shall enter into The Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does The Will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in That Day, ‘LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in Your Name, cast our demons in Your Name and done many wonders in Your Name?’ And then I will proclaim to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me you who practice lawlessness!’” Matthew 7:21-23

 

“Yet indeed I count all things loss for the excellence of the Knowledge of CHRIST JESUS my LORD, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain CHRIST, and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the Law, but that which is through Faith in CHRIST, The Righteousness which is from GOD by Faith; that I may know Him and the Power of His Resurrection, and the Fellowship of His Sufferings, being conformed to His Death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.” Philippians 3:8-11

 

“Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, bur one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, least, when I preach to others, I myself should become disqualified.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

 

Obviously Paul, the greatest evangelist ever, considered the possibility of missing GOD’s Will and Purpose and being rejected from His Eternal Kingdom.

We all need to make sure we are not sacrificing but obeying! Paul did not consider what he suffered to obey GOD’s Call on His life a sacrifice, but a duty – a responsibility of obedience; nothing more than what GOD required of him.

Seek GOD First!

GOD Bless, Bob & Charlene

P.S.

“And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of satan to buffet me, least I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the LORD three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, ‘My Grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boost in my infirmities, that the power of CHRIST may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, for CHRIST’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
