Memorise: Because strait is
the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life and few there be that
find it. Matthew 7:14

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and
broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in
thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

MESSAGE
Making
it to heaven isn’t an easy thing to achieve. It makes a firm decision to make
it there irrespective of what others may be doing. Those engaged in
self-righteousness, laziness and hypocrisy will not find a place in heaven.
There are many people who are heading for destruction because they refuse to
obey the commandment of the Almighty God. They do just what they want, but on
the last day, the judgement of God will not spare them because nobody can
escape that day. Open Heavens Thursday 17 November 2016:- Narrow
is the way This is why you have to be serious with your Christian
walk. Confessing that Christ is our Lord is not sufficient to earn us a place
in the kingdom of God. Apostle Paul in Philippians 3:10 said:
“That I may know him, and the
power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings being made
conformable unto his death.”
There
is a higher expectation from those who will make it to the kingdom of God, and
this is why we need to understand that we need the help of the Almighty God.
Jesus said there are people who profess Him as Lord everywhere they go, but not
all of them will make it to His Kingdom. Are you a Pastor, Evangelist, Teacher,
Apostle or an intercessor? All these are not sufficient to make one enter into
the Kingdom. In other words, you can have all these titles and still miss the
narrow way if your life is not in line with the pattern of Christ.
Prayer Point
Father by your grace, please
help me to make it on the last day.
