Luke 9:24-26 AMP ~ “For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake, he is the one who will save it [from the consequences of sin and separation from God]. [25] For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world [wealth, fame, success], and loses or forfeits himself? [26] For whoever is ashamed [here and now] of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and the glory of the [heavenly] Father and of the holy angels.”
You have only one life, that’s all you get, there is no reproducing, one life, no more and no less, period! What you do right now in your life will determine how and where you will spend eternity! So, if you are living your life by trying to bring fulfillment and honor to yourself, then be prepared to lose everything including your life!
If you chose you, you give up everything that is of eternal value for the temporary fix for your flesh, you made the choice! Remember, when the time comes for you to meet your Lord and Savior, you cannot take anything that you had with you, your money, cars, houses, and everything else that is temporary, all of that will be left behind for someone else. You just kept wanting and getting more and not sharing and doing for God’s people, because you wanted more! You chose stuff over your relationship with God, now you have nothing in the end to show for it! Don’t pursue what is insignificant and perishable but invest in what’s long term and lasting in your life, Jesus Christ!
However, if you choose Jesus Christ, then you are living now to live again, and eternity should look really good to you! Now you understand the value of your relationship with Jesus Christ, because you chose Him first! Today, can you say, no to you, to your ways, to your wants and follow Jesus Christ without any questions or reservations, just because it’s Him? Your eternal view will be determined by what you do now!
Today is your day, trust the processes of God and keep the faith in Jesus Christ, and be prepared, to take up your cross and follow Him and His footsteps, for the sake of your life with Jesus Christ! This is your God ordained assignment from God, it’s your destiny to be with God for life!
Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You for preparing everlasting life for me. I intentionally choose You today and every day. You are my Lord and Savior and I give it all to You. Use me how You will! I will shout to World that I am Yours! Lord forgive me for putting more value on what’s temporary over my eternal life, nothing or no one is more important than You. I choose You and Heaven as my eternal home, help me to stay on my journey to see You and to hear You say. “Servant well done!” In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen!!!
Blessings…
