Matthew 8.21,22,23
"Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness"
Dear Friend in Christ, read the above Scriptures carefully, Lord is speaking to you and me now. Many times we get deceived by our busy work or ministry and think that we are following the will of God and are in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus cautions, doing work for the Lord is not important but doing the will of the Father and following His Word (Jesus), qualifies us for the kingdom of heaven. What is the will of the Father? Jn6.40, "And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day" Believing in Jesus..... believing who Jesus is, believing what He has done for us and who and what are we in Him ..is the will of the Father, we should go
one step forward by following Him.(Jn10.27)
Dear Friend, do not be deceived by your success in ministry, a ministry is good provided you believe in Jesus and follow Him. Do people around us see Christ in us, do they find Christ-like nature in us? If not it's high time we set right our lives in order. What a tragedy it will be on that day, having done wonders through our ministries, Lord telling us, "I never knew you, depart from Me"
This is the secret of the ministry that do the ministry fully believing in Jesus ie trusting Him, depending on Him, and following Him, then the Lord will rejoice and declare, "Well done, good and faithful servant"(Mt25.23)
Miracles, wonders will happen in Jesus' name, but what's the use if we are not acknowledged by the Lord!!
Now, let's take a decision to examine our lives, set right our lives, to grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, to be grounded in His Word, follow Him, so that our spirits are strengthened, and our spirits will take control of our souls. With this, we will walk in the spirit and we will be led by the spirit, thereby, "we will develop Christ-like nature in us," for our spirits are one with the Spirit of Christ. Word of God, which says, "For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God," shall be reality in and through our lives, because as the nature of Christ comes into our lives, our self will die, we will be gentle and humble, manifest Christ in and through our lives, live unto God, have burden for the perishing brethren.
REJOICE......YOU ARE THE FRAGRANCE OF CHRIST
