MORE JESUS


The kingdom of God is about Jesus
living in us who belong to Him and follow Him. If Jesus is living in
us we will be like Him, the world will see Jesus in us. What we do,
how we act, speak, react and the things that interest us show what is
inside of us. Many Christians are worldly. There is no difference
between them and the world, the unbelievers. Others are full of
religion. Some are full of demons. Most of them are full of
themselves. A tree is known by it’s fruit.
You cannot educate a person to become a
child of God. No amount of Bible study, preaching, indoctrination,
coaching or motivation can change a sinner into a saint. At heart
that person will remain a sinner and what he is will be manifested in
his deeds, his life style. You need to be born again to become a
child of God. You need to be born again to enter the kingdom of
heaven.
Jesus will only come into your life and
make you new, born again, if you RECEIVE Him. “But as many as
received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of
God, even to those who believe in His name, 13who were
born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of
man, but of God.” John 1:12,13. You need to INVITE Jesus into your
life and RECEIVE Him as you Lord and Master. You will only become
like Him if you submit to Him, and -obey His words and His
commandments.
Many believe in Jesus. Some receive
Him, but then turn away from Him. They reject His words and
commandments. Some become very religious, but they never become like
Jesus, because they are not of Him.
If we are of Jesus and follow Him, He
will be seen in us. We will be seeking more of Jesus, Himself, in
prayer and devotion, in obedience to His words and commandments. It
is though our relationship with Jesus, having received Him and His
Holy Spirit, living in communion with Him, that we will be changed
into His likeness.
Are we seeking MORE of Jesus, more
revelation, hearing His voice, receiving His approval, being changed
to be like Him? If we want more of Jesus, we need to spend more time
with Him, in prayer. We need to stay connected, tuned in, listening,
obeying following or else we will not be able to bear fruit for His
kingdom.
Many Christians
are fruitless and ready to be cut off and burned. There is no Jesus
in them. Without Jesus we can do nothing. Is Jesus in us?
May Jesus bless you.
