2 Cor 13:5 – examine yourself as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.
Prove yourself; don’t tell me you are a Christian because five years ago you walked an isle. Don’t try to tell God you are a Christian because you went forward in a meeting, you went into a prayer room, you talked to a counselor, and don’t tell yourself you are a Christian because some counselor told you you were a Christian because he didn’t know either . The worst thing you can do to somebody is to talk to them about Christ and when they’ve prayed a prayer and verbally invited Christ into their life then to sit there and assure them they are really saved because you don’t have any idea whether they are. That’s the Holy Spirit’s work; He’s the one who grants assurance and He grants it by the inward testimony (Romans 8), and by the outer exhibit of works that prove it, because without works is what? Dead. The real clear proof you are saved has nothing to do with the past! It’s about the present. Are you at least more righteous than the Pharisees?
Matthew 7:21-23
โKnowing the correct passwordโsaying โMaster, Master,โ for instanceโisnโt going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedienceโdoing what my Father wills. I can see it nowโat the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, โMaster, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.โ And do you know what I am going to say? โYou missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You donโt impress me one bit. Youโre out of here.โ
โNot everyone who says to Me, โLord, Lord,โ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, โLord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?โ 23 And then I will declare to them, โI never knew you; depart..

my MD, Chairman, this is a call to repentance and a repentant heart, will always attract Gods mercy and grace. help us to always remember that, we are saved by grace, Lord have mercy and help us not to forget that we need you at all times, help us not to get lost in the acitivities of this world, but rather let our lives/ works be pleasing to you.
Word in season…
