Message Review
Matthews 7: 21 -23 – 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of
heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Let’s Talk About It
There is a place called Heaven where God’s people will spend eternity. God brought the Kingdom here on Earth. Heaven doesn’t function like Earth. Our life did not begin when you were born, before you had life. God had already chosen you and had a plan for you. There is a plan mapped out for you. You get to choose whether you will follow the plan. Fulfillment is about fulfilling the assignment that God gave you. Fulfillment doesn’t come from the accumulation of things. Fulfillment doesn’t come from the accumulation of accomplishment or the accumulation of stuff. But it comes from the fulfillment of purpose and assignment while on Earth and doing it to your maximum potential.
What do you think your assignment for the Kingdom is right now?
Our plan is formed in Heaven. Your assignment is geographical. Location makes a difference in your life. Your assignments will always require a second life, the first yes is easy, but the second yes requires yes to the Lord. You have to die to your flesh to make Him Lord. Your life requires a Lordship in which you are willing to die to Christ. You have to believe that God’s plan is best. Your “YES” to Christ requires you to deny yourself, and take-up your cross and do what God is calling you to do. You have to submit your will and acknowledge that God’s plan is better. Your assignment is tied to your anger. What bothers you? You may wrestle with your “YES”, but you have to follow the will of God’s. God’s will must be done. You have to give the Lord your second “YES”, It makes life worth the living. The real you is on the other side of the cross. You are the answer to God. Your assignment will require a second “YES”.
How do you plan to be obedient to God’s will in this season?
