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.

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.
