Who are you working for?

Many people will confess to believe in Jesus but very few will obey Jesus and will serve Him as Lord and Master. Very few will work for Him. Jesus said that you must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven. If you are born again then you find the King, the Lord and you serve Him.

Jesus said:”Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.” People will believe in Jesus but they will not get into that close relationship with Him where they are led by the Spirit of God, by the Spirit of Christ that dwells in them. So who are they serving? Who are they working for? They are working for the things of this world. They are working for recognition. They are working for themselves, some are working for the devil, they are busy with evil works. But God will reward each one of us according to our deeds. We are called to work for the kingdom of God as servants of His kingdom.

If we sin we are a slave of sin. If we please ourselves then Jesus is not our Lord, we are not working for the kingdom of God, we are not part of His Kingdom. The question we need to ask ourselves is: “Who am I working for?” For myself, for gain for myself, recognition? Who do I want to please? Many people will buy off their responsibility, they are willing to give 10% of their income to church or to God. They are willing to make donations but they are not willing to do what Jesus tells them to do, they are not in that relationship. They are like a rich parent who gives his child money just to get rid of him so that he himself can go on with his life. A lot of people think that they can buy off God in the same way. You cannot buy off Jesus. Either Jesus is Lord of your life and you are a servant of the kingdom of God or you do not belong to Him and you have no place in His Kingdom, you don't have salvation.

It is about serving Jesus as Lord and as Master. Who are we serving? Are you serving Jesus or are you serving yourself?

May Jesus bless you.
