Do not FIT IN

If we obey and follow Jesus Christ then we will not take pleasure in the things of the world, we will not try to fit in with the world but we will seek to be pleasing to Jesus. If we fit in with this world, if we are like other people, we enjoy the same pleasures of sin and senseless entertainment then we fit out of the Kingdom of God. If we want to be like others, like celebrities who are sinful people who take pleasure in sensuality, vain things, then we cannot be going after Jesus, we cannot be seeking to be pleasing to Him and we will not fit into the Kingdom of Heaven.

We have to make up our minds where we want to spend eternity. Do we want to have eternal life? Then we HAVE TO obey Jesus Christ and we have to FIT into the kingdom of Heaven, but if we are of the world and we love the things of the world then the love of Jesus cannot be in us, then we cannot be seeking to be pleasing to Him and we WILL NOT spend eternity with Him. We have to make up our minds and DO what is pleasing to Jesus.

Many people just read the Bible, they don't DO what Jesus said, they don't obey His words as written in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and therefor they will not be pleasing to Him, they will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven because they will not FIT IN. They fit in to the world but they fit OUT OF the Kingdom of God.

Are we striving to fit into the kingdom of God?

May Jesus bless you.

Most Christians never ACCEPT Jesus

Most Christians never accept Jesus Christ as LORD. They accept Him as SAVIOR, HEALER, PROVIDER, GIVER of all the good things but they do not accept Him as LORD and MASTER, as the FINAL AUTHORITY over every aspect of their lives.

They do not accept His words, the words that He spoke, His commandments as also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They say it is IMPRACTICLE.

Many refuse to obey Jesus and be baptized in water after accepting Him.

Many REJECT the Holy Spirit that He sent to guide us into all truth. They rather prefer to stay with their Bible and choose scriptures that suit them but they will not accept the guidance of the Holy Spirit, they want to TEST the Holy Spirit against their own insight of THEIR own version of the Bible.

They WILL NOT serve or obey Jesus Christ, they call that a WORKS GOSPEL.

They will never KNOW Jesus Christ because they would never GO WITH Him and they will be eternally disappointed when they die and they stand before Him and Jesus says to them:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”

Have YOU accepted Jesus Christ as LORD, dear friend?

May Jesus bless you.

You will be ALONE if you follow Jesus

Do not expect friends and family to congratulate you the day that you decide to truly follow Jesus Christ, because when you truly follow Jesus and obey Him then you are ON YOUR OWN. You might not be ALONE, you might be among many people but nobody will be WITH YOU. You will be ON YOUR OWN. The only One that will be WITH YOU and who will never leave you nor forsake you is Jesus Christ.

Don't think that your church friends will be glad when you start following Jesus, they will reject you. Don't think that your pastor or your priest or your preacher will be glad, they will hate you and persecute you if you walk with Jesus. If you walk with Jesus you are ALONE even when you are in the crowd. Jesus will never leave you, He will never forsake you, He will always be with you to guide you and to teach you, to comfort you, to give you wisdom and to teach you His ways, to LEAD you to eternal life.

Jesus Christ Himself was a man of sorrows, He was rejected, persecuted and killed in the end but He AROSE and He is ALIVE, and He LIVES in those who truly follow Him and they are LIKE HIM also ALONE.

Are you willing to be ALONE with Jesus or do you treasure the acceptance and the company of people, friends, family, acquaintances? If you are not willing to be ALONE with Jesus then you are not worthy of Him and you will not follow Him. May Jesus bless you.

Make DISCIPLES OF JESUS not friends

)

The world wants to make friends with other people, with influential people. Christians like to use the names of famous name preachers, they want to be attached to and associate with famous names and great people. But that is not what Jesus called us for. He commanded us to make disciples of HIMSELF, not to make friends and influence people and build churches. It is all about Jesus and the Kingdom of God, about knowing Jesus and following Him, getting our wisdom and guidance from Him.

If we follow Jesus we will be persecuted, rejected, excluded from worldly people and we have to cherish HIS PRESENCE, His acceptance and His approval more than anything else. If you follow Jesus Christ you will often be alone but you will be with Jesus Christ. It is not about friends and being accepted by others. It is about our relationship with Jesus Christ and being pleasing to HIM.

May Jesus bless you.

Selfish Fellowship

People go after fellowship with other people, with other Christians all because of selfish reasons. It is all about THEM. They don't want to be lonely, they want to be affiliated, they want to be accepted. People want Jesus for what they can get out of Him not for the sake of being with Jesus Himself and that is why they look for the company of other people.

If we love Jesus and we want to spend eternity with Him we will already do s RIGHT NOW. We will constantly make ourselves aware of Him and His presence. We will treasure HIS FELLOWSHIP. Where our treasure is there our heart will be also .

Is our heart WITH Jesus and with being pleasing to Him or do we seek the approval, acceptance and fellowship of other people?

May Jesus bless you.

Chasing after wind

If you are not chasing after Jesus you are chasing after wind. In the end you will be a fool and a loser because the day you die you will face Jesus and if you did not know Him, love Him and OBEY Him then He will deny you. He will say to you:”Go away I never knew you, you worker of wickedness.”

Are you chasing after Jesus or after other things, knowledge, the desires of the flesh, to satisfy yourself, to impress other people? In the end you will lose it all. The only treasure that will last is Jesus Christ Himself. Where you spend eternity will depend on one thing only. And that is YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LIVING GOD, whether you loved him, followed Him and OBEYED Him.

If you reject Jesus you reject LIFE. If you disobey Him and deny Him He will also deny and reject you. What are you chasing after? Jesus or wind? Where will you spend eternity? Heaven of hell? If you do not love, OBEY and FOLLOW Jesus RIGHT NOW, you will spend eternity away from His presence in eternal damnation.

What are YOU chasing after?

May Jesus bless you

You don't need CHURCH

The modern self-satisfying man-glorifying Christianity emphasizes FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHER PEOPLE and education, building yourself up whereas Jesus Christ came to BRING US INTO FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD, WITH HIMSELF.

Jesus said:”WATCH AND PRAY ALWAYS”. Modern Christianity tells you to COME TO CHURCH, TO SPEND TIME WITH OTHER PEOPLE, TO STUDY YOUR BIBLE. Jesus brings us into fellowship with Himself, being led by His Spirit, not into fellowship with other people. If we follow Jesus Christ then WE bring others into fellowship with Jesus Christ AND God our Father because we ourselves are in unity with God, WE have fellowship with God. But if we have fellowship with other people and if we are busy with ourselves, educating and building up ourselves we are busy with ME and MY and OTHER PEOPLE and not with the living God.

We cannot be led by the Spirit of God if we are not in communion with God, if we do not spend time LISTENING to HIM, following HIM, if we are not continuously TUNED IN and busy with our heavenly Father. It is not our relationship with other people that brings us into the kingdom of heaven, it is our relationship with the living God.

With whom is your relationship? Do you have relationship with other people or are you in fellowship with the living God, LISTENING, OBEYING and DOING what He commands you to do so that you can bring other into communion with Him also? Is your relationship with people or with God?

May Jesus bless you.
