“DO YOU WANT TO MAKE IT INTO THE KINGDOM”

Matt: 7: 1, 12-23 & 28, 29
In these scriptures it is teaching us that in our walk with Christ we have to be real. This journey is what we make it. In order to be able to continue in God’s will we must be doers of his word. How can we be doers of his word?, we must read, study and do what the word teaches us.
Love is very important in our walk with Christ. We have to love each other, be kind to one another and also be willing to help each other. We are not in this world alone, as we walk in this life we have to be like Christ. How can we be like him, first we have to understand who he is. We do this by reading the word and living the word to the best of our ability. 

If there is any area in your life that you need help, you can ask God for it. He is there for us, in all that we need and some of what we want. The word says, you have not because you ask not. We also need to come to church which is a building of worship, the church is in each one of us. Also you must have a purpose, we don’t just come to church to sit around and talk or to take up space. You can stay home for that matter, we need to have a mind to want to receive more from God. If you open your heart to God he will fill it over and over again, he just wants us to be a willing soldier and be thankful. Our lives are not our own, Jesus paid a heavy price for our salvation. 
We learn God’s word each and every day of our lives. We must adhere to our teaching, don’t just come to church to show your presence. God has given us Pastors, Ministers and Evangelists to teach us so that we will understand the word better. We must be open to receive the word of God, that’s what we are responsible for. How can we spread the word if we don’t know the word for ourselves. One of our greatest ministries is to spread God’s word. You should always have something to say about the Lord. God is good to us and he is merciful and forgiving. He knows what’s best for us and he wants only the best for us. By doing all of these things and having the word in us, we will not be easily mislead by false doctrine. 
Another thing that I am very adamant about is when you are learning the word of God and have a church home, you should not be jumping around from church to church. This is some of the very reasons why many people get messed up because every ministry does not have your best interests.  This word as I share with you is meant for me as well. WE have all the artillery we need right here at our church. All we need to do is come and receive the teaching that our ministers provide. We need to attend Sunday School, Bible Study during the week and support your church family when we have services. This is not a one man church, we are together as one. We really need to recognize what God would have us to do. We can not make this journey on our own, we are helpers one to another.
God is teaching us in his word that if we don’t get things right while we are here on earth then under no circumstances will we make it into the Kingdom. So I say to you, if you truly want to see heaven then you have to get things right here on earth. Be very mindful of how you treat your brothers and sisters because God is watching you. Take heed to the word of God, no matter what life brings God is still the answer. In closing, I say to you, love your brothers and sisters with the love of Christ.

God Bless
