Maintain A Closer Walk With Jesus
Saturday, March 16th
Text: John 12:20-21
Key verse: John 12:32 “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”
How can you see more excellency of Jesus when He is not constantly in your mind? You say you are married to Jesus but there are distances between you. You are a child of God but there are distances between you and God. You begin to try to view who this Jesus is. Like the woman whose husband has gone to America for years, so the wife is working hard, O this man, how does he look like? Whenever he is laughing how does he appear? Because time has disfigured that man before that woman. She cannot actually think very well. That’s how it is. You are serving Jesus unconsciously. Good, you are serving Him, but He wants you to serve Him knowingly. Serve Jesus with understanding. Be with Him now. Walk with Him. Stay with Him, that when you walk or sit, you walk or sit with Jesus. All you do shall be with Jesus. That is how He wants it in your life. That consciousness is what Jesus is looking for because He will give you the energy to live.
Ministers must constantly remind their congregations of the Lord, Savior, and Shepherd of the church. That it is Jesus they serve. That Jesus is the Shepherd of the church. He is the Lord; personal, active, and present Lord. We stand in awe of Jesus; in total surrender, great honor and worship of Jesus. We must remind ourselves that we preach and sing for Jesus. Do you preach or sing without knowing for whom you preach or sing? Do you preach for pleasure? Come back to your right mind and inform yourself that, ‘I preach to honor Jesus; to reveal and exalt Him.’ It is Jesus that has made me a preacher and given me this privilege of preaching. This we must do so that the faith of the people must be steady on Him and their hearts and minds will be in constant worship and praise of His glory and power. Come to Him in active possession and complete contact with Him.
Thought for the day: Awaken to the realization of Jesus.
Song for the day: Jesus in the morning, Jesus … Jesus when the sun goes down
Bible reading for the day: Judges 9-10
