MESSAGE
Making it to
heaven isn’t an easy thing to achieve. It makes a firm decision to make it there
irrespective of what others may be doing. Those engaged in self-righteousness,
laziness and hypocrisy will not find a place in heaven. There are many people
who are heading for destruction because they refuse to obey the commandment of
the Almighty God. They do just what they want, but on the last day, the
judgement of God will not spare them because nobody can escape that day. Open
Heavens Thursday 17 November 2016:- Narrow is the way This is
why you have to be serious with your Christian walk. Confessing that Christ is
our Lord is not sufficient to earn us a place in the kingdom of God. Apostle
Paul in Philippians 3:10 said:
“That I may
know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his
sufferings being made conformable unto his death.”
There is a
higher expectation from those who will make it to the kingdom of God, and this
is why we need to understand that we need the help of the Almighty God. Jesus
said there are people who profess Him as Lord everywhere they go, but not all
of them will make it to His Kingdom. Are you a Pastor, Evangelist, Teacher,
Apostle or an intercessor? All these are not sufficient to make one enter into
the Kingdom. In other words, you can have all these titles and still miss the
narrow way if your life is not in line with the pattern of Christ.
Are you still
living your life as a natural man? If yes, you cannot go through the narrow
way. The natural man will have to be redeemed through the Blood of Jesus before
he can access the narrow way. Those who are not living their lives in
accordance to the dictate of God cannot make it through the narrow way. Those
who are still slaves to sin are far from the narrow way. The way to eternal
life is for those who are redeemed through the Blood of the Lamb and have
crucified their flesh. They have become alive to the realm of the spirit. The
narrow way is for those who are walking in the spirit and are no longer
fulfilling the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). You have to
make up your mind to be free from every bondage of sin and condemnation of the
devil. Your life will have to be directed by the Holy Spirit, so that you are
no longer ruled by your natural desires. Only those who manifest the fruits of
the spirit in their lives will be able to go through the narrow way. 17
November 2016 Open Heavens. If any of the fruit is absent in your life, there
is an urgent need to do a self-appraisal before it becomes too late. The narrow
gate is for those who know Christ and have lived their lives for Him. If your
life is not confronting to the purpose for which He died, then you have to run
to the cross for salvation.
Prayer Point
Father by your
grace, please help me to make it on the last day.
