First things first...Do you major in the majors of God...

Do you major in the major things of God…? Try…A…Pause for Prayer and Devotional a Wellsaid Christian Devotional about the teachings of Jesus…

 

First things first…have you done the most important…obedience to God’s word…

Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, (lip service) shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied (told the truth of your word) in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity (work apart from God)...Matthew 7:21-23.

 

Building a congregation will not get you into heaven…doing many wonderful works like building church buildings will not get you into Heaven…preaching a sermon will not get you into Heaven… getting rid of devils will not get you into Heaven…UNLESS it is the will of the Father…Unless you are “In Christ” working with Him and allowing Him to work through you…Have you done the first things first…listen to what Jesus told a Jew named Nicodemus… Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again...John 3:5-7.

 

Have you been born of the water and the Spirit like Jesus told this man…yes or no?

Jesus said…He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned...Mark 16:16. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hate the light (does not want to do it Jesus’ way but the way they think is better) neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest (made known either good or evil), that they are wrought (sanctified…established or nullified) in God...John 3:19-21.

 

People do not want to admit or confess they have been wrong…so do not come to Jesus…

Jesus said people hate the light because it means they must admit they do not understand good or evil but will have to accept Jesus’ judgement of their deeds…as if they have never really obeyed or done God’s will…but their own will and called it God’s will. Have they done what they thought God wanted or perhaps have done that which they thought was evil or done their own moral compass. They will have to admit their ways lead to hopeless end…are not God’s ways…their morals are not God’s morals. In other words…every “good” or bad thing I have ever done…when I came to God, I surrendered all of it to Jesus will. Many of my deeds were reprovable and some I had to do no more…I had to confess I was wrong and learn to do better or God’s way.

 

Have you been baptized into Christ…yes or no?

If not, then how you know there is no difference than before and after baptism…either way at least you have done what Jesus said about being born of the water and the Spirit. Many do not believe you have to be born of the water and the Spirit in baptism…many will be lost. I felt peace with God and creation…it felt good knowing I was at peace with the Creator for once in my life…hope you to will know peace with God one day.

 

Prayer

Father please continue to convert me and reprove my works, so that I am In You and You in me…please I have been baptized. Please be in me…on me…and work through me… that we may have a relationship…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

The plan and purpose of a parable…

 

The plan and purpose of a parable…the earthly truth laid beside a heavenly truth…to aid in understanding and fulfilling your plan and purpose in the kingdom of God…

 

And the disciples came, and said unto (Jesus) Him, Why speak You unto them in parables?

 

…And Jesus answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever has (faithfulness with the truth), to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever has not (has no faithfulness with the truth), from him shall be taken away even that which he has. Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not (they refuse to live the truth they have seen), and hearing they hear not (they heard the truth but deny its existence teaching their opinions), neither do they understand (understand the truth or why they deny the truth)…

…And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: (they have seen the truth and heard the truth but refuse to understand God’s will and do it…they rather teach the commandments of men not God) For this people's heart is waxed gross (they are abominable), And their ears are dull of hearing (they are used to another lie from a man), And their eyes they have closed (they have been hurt by the lies and actions of their teachers)

…Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again (try to draw close to God through obeying the truth) And I should heal them. But blessed are your (Jesus’s disciples) eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye (you all…y’all…lol) see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not. (Mat 13:10-17 ASV)

 

Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof. (Mat 13:31-32 ASV)

Prayer

Father please open our eyes and ears and hearts to understand the truth and be wise with the truth so we can be healed and not hurt again by the teaching and actions of those who are not You and Your Only Fathered Son Jesus…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Do you know that Jesus of Nazareth is the sinner’s best friend…

Jesus of Nazareth said, as it is written in Matthew 9:12-13, “But when Jesus heard this, He said, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire compassion , and not sacrifice ,' for I did not come to call the righteous,, but sinners."


Did Jesus of Nazareth say, he desires compassion not a sacrifice?

Yes or No?


Did Jesus also say, He came to call the sinners to repentance?

Yes or No?


Jesus of Nazareth said this to religious leaders, as it is written Matthew 23:23-14, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.”


Did Jesus say, treating people with right judgement, mercy and faith, was more important that giving money?

Yes or No?


Jesus of Nazareth said these words as it is written, John 3:3-5, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”


Did Jesus of Nazareth say you cannot enter into the kingdom of God, unless you have been born again of water and the Spirit?

Yes or No?


Jesus of Nazareth said these words as it is written, Mark 16:15-16, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”


Did Jesus of Nazareth say, he that believes and is baptized will be saved?

Yes or No?


Do you want to be saved and go to heaven?

Yes or No?


What do you think is Jesus of Nazareth’s will for you to do today?

Jesus of Nazareth said these words as it is written, John 8:31-32, “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”


Jesus of Nazareth said these words as it is written, Mat 11:28-30, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls . For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."


Did Jesus of Nazareth say, if you take His yoke and learn from Him, then you find rest for your souls?

Yes or No?


Did Jesus of Nazareth say, His yoke is easy and His burden light?

Yes or No?


Do you want rest for your souls and a light and easy yoke in this life?

Yes or No?


Jesus of Nazareth said these words as it is written, John 6:35, “Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.”


Did Jesus of Nazareth say if you come to Him, you will never hunger or thirst?

Yes or No?


Jesus of Nazareth said these words as it is written, Mat 6:30-34, “But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?' or ‘What will we drink?' or ‘What will we wear for clothing?' For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”


Did Jesus say we have to seek first His kingdom and righteousness to have all these things added to you?

Yes or No?


Jesus of Nazareth said these words as it is written, Matthew 5:6, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.”


Act 22:8, "And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute."
