Revelation 3:16So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouthWe cannot put one foot in the world and one foot in Jesus. Many times we have heard this but why most of the christians still do so because mankind is as stubborn as their ears. We tend not to listen. John 12:30 Jesus answered and said,"This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake." Many times we have heard the voice of God telling us to do this or not to do this but still we did not listen. God said we need to choose. Are you hot and ready to go for the passion and calling given to you? Are you on fire? Or are you cold? Numb? Careless? Are you called as ice that doesn't feel and care anymore? Are you either one or another? God said don't be lukewarm and just stay in the middle. There was one youth under the care of Pastor Mike Reeds of Calvary Chapel when he is still a youth pastor and this kid really struggled. He was trying to walk in the world and walk with Jesus. One foot in the world and one foot in the church. One foot in the world and one foot with Jesus. He describe it as, "walking in the fence." Have you tried sitting in a fence? Or has one foot in the world and one foot in Jesus you know you only need much to get just to make you miserable. And the kid was miserable and week after week he saw the kid and he kept on telling him that, "you can't be like that. Jesus said you can either be hot or cold or He will spit you out of His mouth." So he goes with that for 6 weeks saying, "Bro! Man! You need to be hot or cold or Jesus will spit you out of His mouth." Then Pastor Mike did not see this kid for a couple of weeks and then one day he showed up in a one youth group night. Then after the service that week the kid went up to Pastor mike and said, " Pastor mike you will not believe this, I went to the youth group the other night and I heard the most powerful thing I have ever heard. Incredible! The pastor was tAlking about how you can't be lukewarm and you either be hot or cold because Jesus will spit you out of His Mouth." And the pastor was like: 😳😳😳 Ha? I have been telling you that for 6 weeks?!!!! Hahahahah Aren't we like that at times? We only listen when we chose to listen. We only manage to listen when things already got too bad and everything starts to make sense. Friends! We can't serve two masters at the same time. We can not be in two world at the same time. We can not live two lives at the same time. It's either you are a child of God or Not. Choose. |
