Play your OWN PART

I have made many videos pointing people to Jesus, sharing my testimony, sharing those things that Jesus has given me. I have many postings on the internet and there are many people watching the videos, many people reading, many people commenting. There are many people writing me letters, criticizing, they are telling me what to do, what not to do. There are many attacking me, persecuting me.

We will all stand before Jesus and we will all individually give account for what we have done in the flesh, for what we have done for the Kingdom of God. It is not the hearers, not the listeners, not the commenters, not the talkers but it is those who DO the will of God that will receive His approval. Each of us must make sure that we are doing what Jesus requires of us.

I will stand before Jesus and give account and so will you. Will Jesus be pleased with what I have done? Have I done enough? Have YOU done enough? Is He satisfied with us? Are we good workers for His kingdom? Are we bearing good fruit? Is He pleased with out fruit? That is the question that we need to answer for ourselves.

We need to ask Jesus every day:”Lord, am I doing enough? Lord, am I doing what I have been called to do? Am I serving the purpose of the Kingdom of God in such a way that I can enter in and become an heir of that Kingdom? Is Jesus pleased with YOU and with ME?

May Jesus bless you.

Personal Performance

Your PERSONAL PERFORMANCE will determine where you spend eternity. If we love Jesus then we must OBEY Him. We must PERFORM in accordance with His words, that is the STANDARD, the words that Jesus spoke as also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

If we OBEY Him, REPENT, turn away from sin and going after our own selfish desires and GO AFTER JESUS, be BAPTIZED IN WATER, then HE WILL REVEAL HIMSELF TO US and He will GUIDE US BY His SPIRIT. We must follow that guidance and PERFECTLY OBEY HIM.

Not very many people will COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. They once asked Jesus whether those who are BEING SAVED ARE FEW and He said:”Strive HARD to enter the STRAIGHT GATE because I tell you MANY WILL TRY HARD AND NOT BE ABLE.

It is all dependent on your PERFORMANCE. How are you performing in accordance with the words of Jesus? Jesus said:”If you love Me OBEY MY COMMANDS. DO what I say.” Are you PERFORMING? Are you OBEYING His commands? Are you DOING what He s SAYING every day? Do you deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Jesus EVERY DAY? Are you performing well enough to win the prize of eternal life? It is all about PERSONAL PERFORMANCE.

May Jesus bless you.

Performance NOT Knowledge

Millions of people all over the world own Bibles and have read Bibles. Millions of people have read and know the words of Jesus Christ but most of them will end up in hell, not because they did not know the truth but because they DID NOT DO THE TRUTH.

Jesus Christ said that:”Not everyone who says to Me Lord Lord will enter into heaven but only those who DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER.” What is the will of the Father? It is that we OBEY Jesus Christ and follow Him until the end.

Many profess to BELIEVE in Jesus but they do not obey Him. Jesus also said:”Why do you call Me Lord, Lord and you DO NOT WHAT I SAY?” Many say they LOVE Jesus but they do not obey Him. Jesus said:”If you love me, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.”

Are YOU following Jesus Christ? Do you truly love Him? Do you OBEY His words? Not the hearers or the speakers of the words of Christ will be saved but the DOERS. It is not your knowledge that will save you but the PERFORMANCE of that knowledge.

Are you PERFORMING THE WORKS OF CHRIST?

May Jesus bless you.

It is all about performance

All that will matter when we stand in front of Jesus in judgment is our track record, our performance. How well did we follow Jesus? Did we obey Him? What was our relationship with Jesus? What did we do in obedience to Jesus?

Jesus will judge every man by his deeds whether they were done IN HIM, IN CHRIST in obedience to Him. It is not about your Bible knowledge or about your church attendance. It is about our relationship with Jesus Christ. Did we serve Him as Lord?

Jesus said:”Why do you call Me Lord, Lord and do not what I say?” Is Jesus pleased with your and my performance? That is all that will matter in the end.

May Jesus bless you.

Your expected reward

God will reward every man according to their deeds. The wages of sin is death and God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 2:5:”God, 6who WILL RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11FOR THERE IS NO PARTIALITY WITH GOD.” God knows every deed, every thought, everything that we do. He is watching us and we will all be rewarded according to what we have done. Every branch in Christ, that does not bear fruit, good fruit, will get cut off and burned. We read in John 15 the words of Jesus, John 15:1“ I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2“ Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it, that it may bear more fruit. 4“ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5“ I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6“ IF ANYONE DOES NOT ABIDE IN ME, HE IS THROWN AWAY AS A BRANCH, AND DRIES UP; AND THEY GATHER THEM, AND CAST THEM INTO THE FIRE, AND THEY ARE BURNED.” If we do not remain IN CHRIST then we are cut off, thrown into the fire. Without Jesus we can do nothing. We will be rewarded by our deeds. We now have the opportunity to mend our ways and make sure that we receive a good reward. What reward are we expecting from God? Eternal life or eternal damnation because we will be judged by our DEEDS. May Jesus bless you.

Performance Appraisal

God has made each and every one of us uniquely different and He has called us for a purpose. He has prepared works for each of us to do. I can not do your works and you cannot do mine. We have to do those works according to God's standard and according to God's plan because He will require accountability off each and every one of us.

We read in Romans 2:6 “ God, WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11For there is no partiality with God.”

How are we doing against God's plan for us? Is He pleased with us? We must make sure NOW that He is pleased with us and not wait until it is too late, when we stand in front of Him and we have not performed.

We can ask Him now for a performance appraisal. Ask Him now to show us whether He is pleased with us. We can repair, repent and correct now but if we wait too late, then it will be for ever too late. How are you doing according to God's plan for you? Is Jesus pleased with you?

May Jesus bless you.

It is all about PERFORMANCE

Like everything else in life our relationship with Jesus is also about PERFORMANCE. We will be judged by out deeds. Jesus said that every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned. He also said:”Why do you call Me Lord, Lord and you do not what I say?”

We need to PERFORM ACCORDING TO THE RULES, we need to perform according to the words of Jesus. The apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 9:24 “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. 25Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; 27but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.” We need to PERFORM ACCORDING TO THE RULES, we need to stay active in this race. We must OBEY Jesus, if we want to win the prize. It all depends on our PERFORMANCE.

Satan wants you to believe that you are saved by your faith only, by believing in Jesus, but if you believe in Jesus, you OBEY Him and you PERFORM according to His words. You LISTEN to His Holy Spirit and you FOLLOW Him. You deny yourself, you pick up your cross every day and you follow Jesus.

We will be judged by our PERFORMANCE. The question is: How are we PERFORMING? How did we PERFORM today as children of God? How did we perform as witnesses for the kingdom of God? Were we pleasing to Jesus today? How are we PERFORMING? Are we ready to be cut off and thrown into the fire or are we PERFORMING according to the standard set by Jesus? How is our PERFORMANCE?

May Jesus bless you.
