The Daily Word of Righteousness
Fruit Is Change, #9
Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. (Psalms 24:9—NIV)
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20—NIV)
He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love. (Song of Solomon 2:4—NIV)
We are to open the doors of our personality to the Lord so He may enter and dine with us. He dines on our worship and obedience. We dine on His body and blood.
Christ is ready to do a marvelous work in the midst of the moral and spiritual darkness. He has the power to open any door; to work miracles; to demonstrate His Glory. But He will not show Himself through an unclean church, a self-seeking ministry. We must return to true righteousness, a true attitude of mercy, a true humility. The world is waiting to see this.
Our reputation is not good to the present hour. We Christians must be converted from self-will and become willing to do God's will.
You are one person. What can you do? You can spend time with the Lord each day. You can meditate in His Word, listening carefully for Him to speak to you. You can ask God to help you find and fellowship with fervent believers who also are resolved to seek the Lord with a pure heart.
Most importantly, you must tell God that you will do His will whatever it may be. God is looking for those who will obey Him. If you will obey the Lord implicitly, without regard for your personal likes or dislikes, you will cause change to occur in your generation. Things will be made possible that never will happen if you do not give yourself wholly to the Lord's will.
Can you hear me? I challenge you to abandon yourself to the will of Jesus Christ. If you will give up your life that His will may be done, you will change what otherwise would have been true of the history of the world. Just you! Just one totally obedient individual! You can make the world a better place.
But don't make any deals with God. Love Him and serve Him with all your might simply because He is your Creator, your Father. He is worthy of your unlimited obedience.
This is the path of life and there is no other.
Membership in a Christian church is a good thing. But salvation comes only as we interact continually, night and day, with the living Lord Jesus Christ. He and He alone is the Resurrection and the Life. He and He alone is salvation. He and He alone is the Kingdom of God.
The Lord would have you and me continue to be conscientious, faithful workers in the assembly where He has placed us. In addition, it is time now to come to know the God of the house of God.
Does this sound like anything you want? (from Fruit Is Change)
