Have we lost our first love for Jesus Christ
O Gracious and Holy Almighty God and Everlasting Father,
Have your redeemed children lost our first love for Thee?
Is your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, no longer taking
His center stage and rightful place in our all too hectic lives?
Don't we know when it was the last time that watery tear drops
Freely flowed from our eyes, when we worship and praise you?
When we see and hear lost souls come to salvation in Jesus
Christ? Do we stand, sing and rejoice along with the heavenly
Angels? Over just one soul snatched from total destruction!
Are we doubled minded souls and worship you with mixed emotions?
Do we worship and praise your holy name with 100 percent devotions?
Are our minds just freely drifting away and paying no attention to the
Words of knowledge that we hear with only half opened ears?
Do we have one foot inside your kingdom of heaven and the other one
Fully anchored and planted in this perishing world? For we brought
Nothing into this present world and we shall take nothing out of it.
Will we hear the judge of the whole world say,"Depart from me you
Workers of inequity for I never knew you!"
Have we been recaptured by the world, the flesh and the devil? If so we need
To both repent of all of our sins even 'so called little white lies.' If we confess
Our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins even to them who believe
in His name. Is God's holy word verily a lamp unto our feet and a lamp unto our
Paths?
Are we just going through the motions by keeping our eyes firmly fixed
On our cell phones and/or social media? Thus carrying our own miniature
gods with us even in our sleep as some of the younger generations are doing!
Remember when Moses asked the children of Israel? "Who is on the Lord's side?"
Remember Joshua's closing address? "Choose you this day whom ye shall serve,
But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!"
When have you ever felt the Holy Spirit was silently prompting you in His still small
Voice,"And where will you be spending the rest of your eternity?" Is Jesus Christ
Standing on the outside of your hearts' doors patiently knocking and pleading with
You to open your heart's door and invite Him inside so that He might have fellowship
And a real genuine heart-to-heart relationship with you?
Soon, every knee that is in heaven, on the earth or under the earth will bow and every tongue confess "that Jesus Christ is Lord!" If you are already under the earth it will be too late! Call upon the Lord today!
