MY FRIENDS WHAT RADICAL CHANGES ARE WE WILLING TO MAKE TO ENTER THE PROMISE LAND?
Can we say today with full assurance we are a child of God and our passion is to live in the presence of God today, tomorrow and throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity. If this is our hope and desire there must be some radical changes in our life.
Radical tells us that we are going to do “something to the extreme, especially in regards to change from the accepted or traditional forms” Webster also tells us radical is a basis for a foundation”, or a turning point where we have decided to allow self to die completely as Christ then becomes the foundation of our life, a life of servitude and commitment to others.
“The Saviour’s life on earth was not a life of ease and devotion to Himself, but He toiled with persistent, earnest, untiring effort for the salvation of lost mankind. From the manger to Calvary He followed the path of self-denial and sought not to be released from arduous tasks, painful travels and exhausting care and labor.
He said, “The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:28 (JKV) This was the one great object of His life. Everything else was secondary and subservient.
It was His meat and drink to do the will of God and to finish His work. Self and self-interest had no part in His labor.” (E. G. White Christ Object Lessons pp 78)
As Christians we must individualized our stance and compassion for others as Christ did and hope it will catch own to others as we spread Gods word. “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him.
He will sit on his glorious throne. And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people, one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And He will say………
“I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you? The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. Matthew 25:31-40 (KJV)
As Christians We must not forget our eternal destiny is shaped by our commitment to serve as Christ served, not on how many times we went to church, or sung with the praise team. Those mansions our Savior left this earth to go and prepare are only for the redeemed to live in whose character has been washed in the blood of Christ.
In addition, who also loved and cared for others using Christ as our example, not when it was convenient for us or between our favorite TV shows, but whenever Christ calls and wherever He sends we must be prepared for an unrestricted commitment and a passion to serve that only comes about by walking with God each day and as we make that walk it will determine our eternal destiny.
For everyone who takes that walk has within themselves the capacity to love as Christ loved. Today my friends, let’s ask ourselves how can we as God’s chosen keep from “conforming to the pattern of this world, as we carry out Gods will in our life and once we have made the right decision, one day soon the Master will say to us, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
