...Just before you shout Happy New Year!

"But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first."

In computer disassembling and assembling, there's what we call FILO (First-In, Last-Out) and LIFO (Last-In, First-Out). Aside its importance in programming, those terms basically refer to how a system is disassembled and put together again. It begins with removing the outer connections and attachments before delving inside, from the major to the minor. On assembling, it entails returning back the delicate components into their respective places and this time, from the minor to the major until the casing. But what has this got to do with Matthew 19:30? Alot!

In the world today, there are quite a number of believers who are TRULY following the Master as commanded. Even though there are still some who are not yet in synch with His standard and are neither here nor there but I would want to give them the benefit of doubt to turn a new leaf before the Master returns. So altogether, we are running a race, a difficult and an uncomfortable journey at that! A glorious crown is set before us and we just can't wait to get it... But a shocker awaits some!

Heaven has a very high standard which cannot be compromised by any means. The Faithful King does His rating quite well and He follows our every move. In as much as we devote ourselves to certain kingdom duties, it doesn't imply that we have gained a direct pass to heaven. Like the mother of Zebedee's children, there's no way we can bribe Him. So stop patting yourself on the back just yet!

It's possible to be spiritually awake, yet asleep in some ways! I bet not many are aware of several events unfolding from the spirit into this time and we're warned to come out from among them and stay alert! But due to ignorance or perhaps stubborness, some are still frolicking around with ungodly ways and when He says, "...depart from Me..." on the last day, it might cause an uproar from many. Ha!

The CPU in all its might as the computer's brain still has to be removed last and again, it relies on support from the heat sink and the board to guarantee a smooth running. Such is the case for many disciples and the growing Zion army out there! Nobody is more superior or all-knowing. It's a race, not for the swift but the engraced.

So the question is/are, how well are you performing in all honesty? Are you even in tune with Kingdom realities and still fold your arms? Do you please men in place of God? Truthfully, does your spirit convict you of every action or imagination you make? Have you embarked on the Great Commission which is your primary purpose? How well does light shine forth through you? Is your mind regenerated? From who do you seek guidance? Do you really conform to God's standard and obey Him as you ought to? Are you simply doing "follow follow" as a religious fellow or have you arrived at that point of Sonship where God manifests Himself to you? Are you still caged in denominational cell-mentality and you're yet to see yourself differently as one member in the body of Christ called out for His purpose?

Now is the time for final reflection and re-adjustments, lests He find us sleeping when He returns!
