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.

God does not call the qualified…He equips and qualifies the called.

God does not call the qualified…He equips and qualifies the called.

 

God can and will create you whatever you need to be righteous like Him.

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keeps the paths of judgment, and preserves the way of his saints. Then shalt you understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yes, every good path. When wisdom enters into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto you soul; Discretion shall preserve you, understanding shall keep you: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaks froward things; Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths...Proverbs 2:6-15.

 

Do you love to be wise like Jesus…understanding like Jesus…to walk in righteousness like Jesus…yes or no?

 

Love like Jesus…

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And you shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength (effort): this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, You shalt love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these...Mark 12:29-31.

 

Jesus teaching the Jews in the Nation of Israel…being from the tribe of Judah and a Jew, taught the Creator is one Authority and you are to love Him first and foremost and then to love your neighbors as yourself. Remember love works no ill will towards its neighbor. Remember when you pray to the Almighty Creator…He already knows what you need…so keep your words few and trust He will do what is best for your soul.

 

Prayer

Father please grant us repentance and knowledge so we can continue to walk in Your paths of righteousness and to be wise and understanding so we will have discretion and be preserved in righteousness and have peace with You and fellow man in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus is the Great I am of it...(seven statements of Jesus being the I am)

Jesus can create whatever you may need…

Jesus said unto them, I am the Bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst...John 6:35…but whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life...John 4:14

 

Jesus is the door into the safety of the sheepfold…

Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the Door of the sheep. All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the Door; by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly...John 10:7-10

 

Jesus is the Light of the world which shines in the darkness created by the evil one…

Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the Light of the world: he that follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life...John 8:12

 

Jesus is the Truth the source of all Truth which created all things created…

Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way (The Path to God), and the Truth (Source of all Truth), and the Life (Eternal Life given with God): no one cometh unto the Father, but by Me...John 14:6

 

Jesus is the good shepherd who laid down His life to supply the needs of His sheep…

I am the Good shepherd: the Good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholds the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees and the wolf snatches them, and scatters them: he flees because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep. I am the Good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know Me, even as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep...John 10:11-15.

 

Jesus is the Resurrection of new life…

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on Me, though he die, yet shall he live; and whosoever lives and believeth on Me shall never die. Believe you this? ...John 11:25-26.

 

Jesus is the True Vine…

I am the Vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit: for apart from Me you can do nothing. If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever you will, and it shall be done unto you...John 15:5-7.

 

Have you been born of the water and the Spirit…yes or no?

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and 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, You must be born anew. The wind blows where it will, and you hear the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit...John 3:5-8. And Peter said unto them, Repent you, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him...Acts 2:38-39.

 

After Jesus was raised from the dead he came to His 11 disciples…

And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen. And he said unto them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves (chooses to ignore or not to the do the will of God in order to be saved) shall be condemned...Mark 16:14-16.

 

Jesus is the Judgment Seat…

For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. But you, why dost you judge thy brother? or you again, why dost you set at nought (make your brother nothing) thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God. So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God...Romans 14:9-12. …and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of His power in flaming fire, rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel (good news Jesus died and was raised so you will never have to choose an immoral deed) of our Lord Jesus: who shall suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of His might, when He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be marveled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day...2 Thessalonians 1:7-10.

 

Are you prepared…if you were to die today…would you pass through the Door…or are you already in the sheepfold and remaining faithful…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father who is in Heaven…please create through Jesus whatever we may need for our soul to remain faithful and our needs be supplied so our soul may proser and be in health…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
