Focus: One thing you Lack

WORD FOR TODAY
There is at least an aspect of self denial expected of you to exhibit under God if you must inherit the Kingdom of God. The validation of your life by God is critical to experiencing the Kingdom of God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me." (Mark 10:21NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The young ruler came to Jesus in a bid to know what was required of him to inherit the Kingdom of God. He was excited when the Lord presented to him some of the things he has been doing right from his childhood. However, the Lord did not hesitate to tell him that he still lack just one thing- self denial of the riches attached to his life.

It is not enough that you have also done well to some extent as far as God's requirement for your life is concerned. There are some self righteousness you can claim to have by the virtue of various spiritual activities you engage in. However, you must always be mindful of the verdict of God over your life. You must be sure of the fact that you have submitted and surrendered your all to God in every bid to do His will. If there is an issue to settle with God, do it now that you have grace to do it. Failure to do it will render every good thing you have done useless!!!
