One Lord
Most Christians are just religious but they do not know the Lord. They do not recognize who Jesus is, He is God. They have been deceived by various doctrines of demons and teachings of men.
Even some of the disciples did not recognize Jesus as God.
We read in John 14:6 “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
7“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”
8Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. 11“Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves. 12“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. 13“Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14“If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it."
15“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
16“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you."
18“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19“After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also. 20“In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21“He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24“He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me."
Most believers do not know Jesus, they do not know His voice. They do not see Him because they do not keep His commandments and therefor He has not disclosed Himself to them.
How will Jesus disclose Himself to them? By His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, that the world, the unbeliever, and those who disobey Jesus, cannot receive.
We read further in John 14:25.
25“These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. 26“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
The apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 4:4,5.
" 4There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.
There is only one Lord, His Name is Jesus Christ.
The apostle John wrote in 1 John 2:23 "Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also."
There is one Spirit, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ.
God is ONE, He is Lord, He is the Father, He is the Son, He is the Spirit.
Most Christians believe in a God that is far away, somewhere in heaven, but Jesus is Emmanuel, "God with us." They do not know Him and that is why they do not know His Name is Jesus, they do not recognize Him as Lord. They do not experience Him and they do not follow Him because they do not obey Him. He reveals Himself to those who obey His commandments and they know Him for real.
Embrace Jesus, obey His commands, His teachings. Repent and be baptized. Seek Him with all your heart and He will come and dwell with you, in you and you will know Him for real. Jesus is Lord.
" At the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:10,11.
Do you know The Lord, Jesus Christ?
May Jesus bless you.

Working for the Master
Those who believe in Jesus Christ are called to obey, and follow Him, to serve Him as Lord and to work for the kingdom of God. Jesus Christ will reward everyone according to their deeds.
Many believers refuse to work for the kingdom of God because they say that they do not work for their salvation. We work for the kingdom of God if we have become part of the kingdom of God.
If we follow Jesus Christ, then we work for His kingdom and our inheritance, our reward is with Him. Many work for churches and they think that they are working for God, they are not. They are working for the organization, and they receive their rewards. They will have no reward with Jesus.
We have to follow and obey Jesus and be led by the Holy Spirit. Without Jesus we can do nothing. If we are not willing to work for the kingdom of God, we will have no inheritance. Those who refuse to work for the kingdom of God, will not have eternal life because they do not belong to Jesus, they do not belong to His kingdom
Are we working for Jesus? Are we in service of the Master and are we serious about the kingdom of God?
May Jesus bless you.

I am Jesus
We read in the book of
Acts chapter 9 about a Pharisee who was persecuting the followers of
Jesus Christ. I read from verse 1. "Now Saul, still breathing
threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the
high priest and asked for letters from him to the synagogue's at
Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and
women he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he was traveling it
happened that he was approaching Damascus and suddenly a light from
heaven flashed around him and he fell to the ground and he heard a
voice saying to him:"Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me,"
and he said:"Who are you Lord?" And He said:"I am
Jesus whom you are persecuting, but get up and into the city and it
will be told you what you must do." Saul was blinded, he could
not see after meeting Jesus on that Damascus Road. They led him into
the city and Saul was praying day and night until a Jesus sent a one
of His other disciples, Ananias, to come and lay hands on him. He
regained his sight he was baptized in water, and he was a baptized in
the Holy Spirit.

Then Paul went out, and he
who was persecuting the disciples of Jesus Christ, immediately became
a witness for Jesus. He was telling everybody that Jesus Christ is
Lord. What had happened to this persecutor of Jesus, Saul who became
the Apostle Paul? He had met the Lord, Jesus Christ. When that light
came from heaven and struck him down and he fell on the ground, what
did he say? He said:"Who are you Lord?" and the Lord
answered him and said:"I am Jesus. "

Most professing Christians
I have not met Jesus. They just know about Him. Paul had not met
Jesus until that day, but when he met Jesus he knew that he was Lord,
he said:"Who are you Lord." If you have not met Jesus then
you do not know Him as Lord. Paul went on to live his life for Jesus,
to follow Him, he was taught by Him and Paul went on to die for
Jesus, because he had met the Lord. Have you met the Lord Jesus
Christ? Do you know Him as Lord? If you do not know Him and serve Him
as Lord, you will not enter His kingdom. Who is Jesus Christ to you?
Is He just the Son of God? Is He just the Savior that you believe in
for salvation? Or is Jesus Christ your Lord? If Jesus is our Lord, we
will serve Him, and obey Him, and live for Him, we will serve Him as
Lord. If we do not know Him and serve Him as Lord, then we will not
enter His kingdom. Have you come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and are
you serving Him?

Who is your Lord?
If you are a born again child of God and you call yourself a Christian then Jesus Christ is your LORD and you SERVE Him as LORD. Your life is about Jesus Christ, being pleasing to Him in every thing that you do. You live your life the way that He commanded and you follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is you BOSS, your LORD, your MASTER, you live and work for Him and for His kingdom .
Most professing Christians live to please themselves. Many are their own boss or they have other bosses or lords. To some their husband is their boss or their wife, or their employer or their friends but they do not submit to Jesus Christ. Many will tell you that they do not believe in a WORKS GOSPEL, they refuse to work for the kingdom of God, they refuse to serve Jesus Christ as Lord but they serve their own lusts and they go after their own desires. They serve satan but they call themselves Christians. They are not Christians they are sons of the devil.
If we are truly children of God then Jesus Christ is Lord. Many believers do not even know whom to pray to. They do not know who their Lord is, they do not know Jesus Christ, and that is why He will say to most of them:"Go away I never knew toy, you workers of wickedness."
Do you know your LORD? Do you know His voice and do you follow Him? Jesus Christ said:"My sheep HEAR MY voice, they LISTEN and they FOLLOW ME."
Is Jesus Christ YOUR LORD? Do you listen, obey, follow and serve Him or do you have some other lords?
Are you truly a child of God? Is Jesus Christ your Lord?
May Jesus bless you.

PRACTICE your relationship
Jesus Christ will become ALIVE and REAL
to you if you practice your relationship with Him in the proper way.
If you SERVE Jesus Christ as Lord and Master and you take Him
seriously every moment of your life in every thought and in every
decision then He will reveal Himself to you as real. But if you
ignore Him and you treat Him as a convenience you will not know Him
and He will say to you one day:”Go away I never knew you, you
worker of wickedness.”
If you do not practice righteousness,
holiness, obedience to Jesus, if you do not make yourself acutely
aware of Him all the time then you will never know Him, But if you
seek Him you will find Him, if you draw closer to him He will draw
closer to you, If you PRAY and TRUST Him and WAIT on Him He will
answer your prayers and He will give you UNDERSTANDING. You will KNOW
all things and you will KNOW HIM as you have been known by Him.
It all depends on your relationship
with the King.
May Jesus bless you.

Called For Duty Not For Pleasure
The UNBELIEVERS who have not committed
themselves to Jesus Christ and have not submitted themselves to Him
to serve Him as Lord and Master, they follow after their own desires
and there own ambitions. They think they are FREE but instead of
being free they are slaves, they are SLAVES TO SIN, THEY ARE SLAVES
TO THEIR OWN AMBITION.
The person who follows after Jesus
Christ is FREE from the bondage of sin, he is not a slave of his own
ambitions, or of peer pressure, what other people think of him. He is
FREE TO DO THE WILL OF GOD but he has COMMITTED HIMSELF to DO the
will of God.
Jesus has not called us for a holiday
to be free to do what WE WANT TO DO. He has CALLED US TO DUTY, to DO
HIS WILL every day, to GO AFTER HIM. He has a job of work for every
disciple EVERY SINGLE DAY. They are called for service in the Kingdom
of God but they voluntarily SUBMIT THEMSELVES to Jesus , they
VOLUTARILY REPORT FOR DUTY every day and they DO THE WILL OF GOD.
That is the NORMAL CHRISTIAN LIFE, the Duty of a Child of God, a
Disciple. He reports for duty every day and he WORKS for the Kingdom
of God. He is CALLED TO SERVE, he is CALLED TO DUTY.
Many believe in Jesus but they don't
KNOW Jesus, they DON'T SERVE Him, they have not committed to Him.
They are not part of His Kingdom. They will not inherit the kingdom
because they will not follow Him, they do not report for duty every
day. They are not WITH Jesus. Jesus said:”Where I am there my
servants will be also.” They will be working because they ARE THE
BODY OF CHRIST. Are YOU where Jesus is? Are you doing your duty
today? Do you follow after Him every day and perform the task that he
has called you for?
Are you PART of His Kingdom? Are you
PART of the Kingdom of God? Do you fulfill your purpose or are you
living in false hope of eternal life when you do not even KNOW or
SERVE the Savior?
May Jesus bless you.

Serve the Master
Most Christian believers WILL NOT and
CANNOT become part of the kingdom of Heaven. They REFUSE to ACCEPT
Jesus Christ as LORD and MASTER. Most of them have said a SINNERS
PRAYER and have become Bible students and pew warmers instead of
becoming disciples of Jesus Christ.
They never committed themselves to
Jesus, they never repented, they never stopped sinning, they never
stopped going after their own lusts and desires and they never picked
up their cross and started following Jesus. Most of them never got
baptized in water. They just became ARROGANT because they believe
that they are saved but they do not even know Jesus Christ. They do
not obey Him and they do not follow Him. They are arrogant and they
are slaves to sin and the desires of their flesh, they are worldly
people but they believe that they are saved. They never accepted
Jesus Christ as the Master of their lives.
If you want to have eternal life you
must become part of the kingdom of Heaven. You must SUBMIT yourself
to the KING, Jesus Christ and SERVE HIM AS LORD AND MASTER every day
of your life. If you do not carry a cross, YOUR OWN CROSS every day
and follow Jesus, you WILL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. You will
not get into heaven without bearing your cross. You WILL GO THROUGH
MUCH SUFFERING and you will LEARN OBEDIENCE through what you have
suffered. If you are not suffering, bearing a cross learning
obedience through your relationship with Jesus Christ you ARE NOT ON
THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW ROAD, Jesus Christ is not your master, you
ARE NOT part of the kingdom of heaven and you WILL NOT HAVE ETERNAL
LIFE.
Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your
LORD and MASTER? Do you serve Him every day or are you a slave to sin
and the lust of your flesh? Who do you serve? Who is your God? Your
own lusts and desires, your flesh, or is Jesus Christ your Master?
Are you led by the Holy Spirit or are you driven by your own lusts,
your own arrogance and your own mind doing what YOU please? Who is
YOUR Master? Is Jesus Christ YOUR Master?
May Jesus bless you.

Greater than Jesus Christ
Many people say that they believe in Jesus Christ but very few serve Him as Lord and Master. If Jesus is Lord and Master then He is greater than everything and anything in your life, then you regard Him above all things, then He is MASTER.
To many believers, many other things are greater than Jesus, their government, their wife, their husband, their own priorities, their opinion, their country, their pastor, their doctor, many other things are greater to them than Jesus Christ. If anything is greater to us than Jesus Christ then He is NOT our Lord and Master and we are not serving Him and He will also reject us.
If we do not serve Him as LORD and MASTER then we do not belong to HIM and we do not belong to HIS KINGDOM. If we do not give HIM the RESPECT and REVERENCE that is due to Him then Jesus Christ is not the greatest in our lives and we are not part of the Kingdom of Heaven and we will not enter His Kingdom, we will not have eternal life.
Is Jesus Christ greater than everything in YOUR life and in mine?
May Jesus bless you.
