“…that in ALL THINGS he might have the preeminence.” (Col. 1:18)
I am angry and zealous for Jesus. Our western Church is UNFAITHFUL to the Lord!! Jesus is the Lord of every believer, but we do not put ourselves under His authority. We believe that His mercy allows us to compromise His glory for brief moments.
Jesus is the husband of every believer but we continually commit adultery against Him! We kiss Him with the kisses of Judas while we live our lives in outright betrayal to His glory!
Every day we should come to the Lord Jesus in humility and say to Him, “Jesus You alone are the Ruler of my life and I seek to glorify only You today. In every decision I come to today show me how to best glorify You. Convict me every moment today in which I am not bringing You glory so that I may repent and exalt You.”
Does Jesus deserve our faithful behavior? YES!!! Do you love Jesus enough to fervently seek to be faithful to Him in every moment? STOP COMPROMISING!!! If you know Jesus would not want you to go somewhere or to say or do something then DON’T DO IT!! Your relationship with Him is infinitely more important than any passing pleasure! If someone pressures you to compromise His glory then FLEE FROM THEM!!! Don’t let yourself be pulled away from the Lord Jesus, even for a moment! Jesus is with you everywhere you go and you MUST seek His pleasure and His glory alone!
Jesus only has “good and perfect” things for us (Jas. 1:17) and we reject them because our flesh wants to compromise for something that seems to allow us complete satisfaction: A little bit of worldliness along with godliness.
Jesus is Lord… NOT YOU!!!! He wants, and has, the best for you, nothing less. You MUST seek HIS WILL and let HIM tell you what to do, who to be with, where to go, and how to live. Seek FIRST the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness, and all these things will be added to you (Matt. 6:33).
Jesus has an ocean of love for us and we cannot even put our toe in it unless we seek HIS glory and HIS will. When we lovingly obey Him, we have the promise of experiencing His loving presence: “Jesus answered and said unto him, 'If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.'” (John 14:23)
Make the Lord Jesus and His glory the preeminent focus and drive of your life today and every day!!! NO COMPROMISE!!!
“WHATEVER YOU DO in word or deed, do ALL in the name of the Lord Jesus” (Col. 3:7).
“So whether you eat or drink or WHATEVER YOU DO, do it ALL for the glory of God” (1 Cor. 10:31).
“Set your affection on THINGS ABOVE, NOT on things on the earth. For YOU HAVE DIED and your life is HIDDEN WITH CHRIST” (Col 3:2-3).
