quote author=Righteousness89 post=89898509] Matthew 21:28-31, Luke 18:9-14 These words were Repeated by JESUS CHRIST Himself. Matthew 19:30, Matthew 20:16, Mark 10:31, Luke 13:30. We should not be Carried away in our WORK for GOD to the Detriment of our WALK with GOD. It is not Enough for you to Claim you Know GOD. The Question is does GOD know you? You Might be a Pastor, Bishop, Leader,Evangelist, Prayer Warrior,worker etc in the Church You Might attend all the Services, Vigils, Meetings, etc You may Have been the one that Started the church In your House, Nation or Community You May have been Saved Since 1970 or Whatever All these are Good but the Ultimate is What is the Current state of your Personal Relationship with GOD? Does The MASTER know you ? One of my Earnest Prayer is " LORD, may I not be like the park boys in a bus park that loads a bus with people and do not go with the bus" in JESUS NAME. 1cor10:12 " Wherefore Let Him that thinketh he standeth take heed, lest he falls" FACTORS THAT COULD MAKE A ONE A CASUALTY 1. Being a Hearer of The WORD and Not a Doer Romans 2:13, James1:22-25 2. Working For The LORD and Not Walking with The LORD Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 25:11-12 3. Having a Judgemental Spirit: you are quick to look at people even in the church and call them sinners . Or you see someone and due to the way he /she looks you castigate Him or her. Just as what happened on this site few days ago. I. Saw a lady who came out to share her Challenges.Some of the Comments I saw here put tears in my eyes. Because someone made a Mistake in the past should not be a reason to crush her down. Once Repentance is made, JESUS Christ Forgives instantly. Many who were busy insulting her may be shocked to see the lady in Heaven while they are still here. The First will be Last and the Last be First! 4. Living by your own Standard of Righteousness. Luke 6:46-49 5. Murmurings, Gossip, tale bearers in the Church: you claim to be a Believer but you engage in gossips and unnecessary talkings about that Brother or that sister! This One dress this way or that way! Our Sister should beware of this. 6. Familiarity With The WORD of GOD Or His Servant: Many Believers are guilty of this. 7. Hunger and Drive For Positions in the Church and not Having a Position with GOD ALMIGHTY, the Owner of the Church. Only the Living has a Chance to Amend. Its an opportunity for us to check ourselves and ensure that we are Walking with GOD and not Just Working for GOD. It's an opportunity for us to check and ensure our Personal Relationship with GOD is intact. It is Better For one to leave The Work for GOD and Settle your Walk with GOD FIRST. Pastor, Woman leader, Choir, Evangelist, Prayer Warrior, Youth Leader and all that are Titles. They do not Take anyone to Heaven. Our Walk with GOD! Our Personal Relationship with GOD ALMIGHTY is the ultimate! Let Him/ Her that Thinketh He Standeth, Take Heed, lest He falls. The First Shall be the Last and The Last The First. May GOD ALMIGHTY Help us to Make Amends where Neccessary in JESUS NAME[/quote] God Bless You 2 Likes |

HighWITCH:It does...for what is the purpose of living without hope? Why do we hustle, marry, slave and toil for our daily bread without hope? Why do we care what others think and say if our life is already a hopeless life set in stone? Why do we even care about others if life has been pre-ordained to be hopeless from the beginning? Isn't suicide the best thing a man can do for himself and rid his life of this imperfect world? Why do we struggle to live on if we have no hope here and after here? Why do YOU still walk this earth when you know it's all vanity and hopeless in the end?? |

[center][/center]SEE WHO MOCKED GOD:
John Lennon (Singer):
Some years ago, during his
interview with an
American Magazine, he said:
'Christianity will end, it will
disappear.
I do not have to argue about
that.. I am certain.
Jesus was ok, but his subjects
were too simple,
today we are more famous than
Him' (1966).
Lennon, after saying that the
Beatles were more
famous than Jesus Christ, was
shot six times.
Tancredo Neves (President of
Brazil ):
During the Presidential
campaign, he said if he got
500,000 votes from his party, not
even God would
remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got
sick a day before his
inauguration as President and he
died.
Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian
composer, singer and
poet):
During A show in Canecio ( Rio
de Janeiro ),
while smoking his cigarette, he
puffed out some
smoke into the air and said:
'God, that's for you.'
He died at the age of 32 of LUNG
CANCER in a
horrible manner.
The man who built the Titanic
After the construction of the
Cruise Ship, Titanic, a
reporter asked him how safe the
Titanic would be.
With an ironic tone he said:
'Not even God can sink it'
The result: I think you all know
what happened to
the Titanic
Marilyn Monroe (Actress)
She was visited by Billy Graham
during a
presentation of a show.
He said the Spirit of God had sent
him to preach to
her.
After hearing what the Preacher
had to say, she said:
'I don't need your Jesus'.
A week later, she was found
dead in her apartment
Bon Scott (Singer)
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On
one of his 1979
songs he sang:
'Don't stop me; I'm going down
all the way, down
the highway to hell'.
On the 19th of February 1980,
Bon Scott was found
dead, he had been choked by his
own vomit.
Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas , Brazil, a group of
friends, drunk,
went to pick up a friend.....
The mother accompanied her to
the car and was so
worried about the drunkenness
of her friends and she
said to the daughter holding her
hand, who was
already seated in the car:
'My Daughter, Go With God And
May He Protect You.'
She responded: 'Only If He (God)
Travels In The
Trunk, 'Cause Inside Here.....It's
Already Full '
Hours later, news came that they
had been involved
in a fatal accident, everyone had
died.
The car could not be recognized
what type of car it
had been, but surprisingly, the
trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way
the trunk could
have remained intact.
To their surprise, inside the trunk
was a crate of
eggs, none was broken
Christine Hewitt (Jamaican
Journalist and
entertainer) said the Bible (Word
of God) was the
worst book ever written.
In June 2006 she was found
burnt beyond recognition
in her motor vehicle.
Many more important people
have forgotten that
there is no other name that was
given so much
authority as the name of Jesus.
Many have died, but only Jesus
died and rose again,
and he is still alive....
"J-E-S-U-S"
PS: If it was a joke, you would
have sent it to
everyone.
So, are you going to have the
courage to send this?.
I have done my part.
Jesus said:
'If you are embarrassed about
me, I will also been
embarrassed about you before
my father.'
You are my 8 in 8 seconds.
I am not breaking this..
No way!
I'M TOLD THIS WORKS!!!!!

Prayer.'

it may mean that they;. arrogant,the proud,the powerfull,the hoiler than thou,those who jugde others bcus they think they are better. will be last. while they; meek,humble,those who encourage others,those who dnt jugde or condem others will be first. it will be easy for a donkey to pass the eye of a needle than for the 'rich' to make heaven. thats why we all need huminity. note this those nt mean only poor people would make heaven. they rich jesus was talking about is those who cnt make time for their GOD, those who put their job first bfore GOD. those who insult,critise,condem others,bcus of their wealth. jg 1 Like |

Mathematically, if the first shall be the last, and the last be the first then it means If 1=First and 100=Last Then 1=First=Last 1=1=100 1=100 and 100=Last=First 100=100=1 100=1 It can only mean everybody is equal before God. I really stand to be corrected though |

The simplest explanation of the meaning of that statement is: a pastor or leader who teaches a congregation about spiritual matters and the way to paradise cannot make it to paradise himself unless each and every member of his congregation makes it to paradise. He is the first here, going to paradise he will be last. If he decieves his congregation and they r lost he will never make it, if he leads them alright their success will be great blessings for him. The first shall be last and the last shall be first. Righteousness89: |
