APPLY YOURSELF to the Kingdom of God

The Kingdom of God is about the HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, the expectation that we have of attaining eternal life IF we endure until the very end, IF we keep on following Jesus and IF we are faithful. It is not about physical things, it is not about things of this earth. It is about our eternal destination.

We need to APPLY ourselves to the Kingdom of God IF we want to keep that HOPE, IF we want to win the prize in the end. For now we have the HOPE that if we endure we will win that prize, we will have eternal life. But, not everyone will have that prize, only those who are fruitful, who bear good fruit, who OBEY Jesus, who are diligent and faithful until the very very end.

Jesus said that EVERY TREE THAT DOES NOT BEAR GOOD FRUIT WILL BE CUT OFF. What does He mean? There are many who have accepted Jesus, they have become children of God but they are not bearing fruit. There are many who are casting out demons, preaching the gospel, reading the Bible and they think that they are saved but Jesus will say to them:”Go away from Me you workers of LAWLESSNESS.” We must bear fruit.

We must APPLY OURSELVES to the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is not about physical things, it is about souls. It is about YOUR and my soul, it is about other people who are lost and whom we must bring into the kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God and His righteousness, means that we must bring others into the Kingdom of God while we ourselves walk in UTTER RIGHTEOUSNESS. The unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God. We must APPLY OURSELVES to the Kingdom of God like a road runner who is running to win that prize at the end. If we do not APPLY ourselves and put every effort into winning the prize, we won't make it. They asked Jesus whether those who are being saved are few and He said:”Narrow is the door and FEW their be that find it!” He said:”Strive HARD!”

Dear friend, nobody will go into heaven in a rocking chair. We need to APPLY OURSELVES, we need to STRIVE HARD. Be diligent, deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Jesus EVERY DAY. We must be FAITHFUL, we must follow Jesus EVERY DAY.

Are you applying yourself to the Kingdom of God? It is only with the UTMOST EFFORT that anyone will make it in there!

May Jesus bless you.
