Never Never Land
Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith
unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that
doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (22) Many will say to me in
that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name
have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? (23) And
then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that
work iniquity. (KJV)
There is an imaginary place that is called
never never land, a place built on fairy tales and not reality. Many of man’s
doctrines, denominations, and other so called faiths are based on the same
premise, it looks great on the outward, but inwardly it is an accident
waiting to happen. So what is your faith and trust built on, and is your
relationship with our Lord a reality, or something that you hope will
someday happen? As we see illustrated above, many are asking questions that
they should have had answered already, and have found out too late that
they never really established a true personal relationship with Our Father
in heaven. What happens to many, thus why only a few are left that are
chosen of God, is that they become more friendly with the world as well as
worldly people.
Luke 6:24-26 But woe unto you that are
rich! for ye have received your consolation. (25) Woe unto you that are
full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn
and weep. (26) Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so
did their fathers to the false prophets. (KJV)
You know that popular prosperity message
that is currently being peddled around as the truth? Yeah, well the truth
is that it is just an end run around reality and a wide path leading one
back to destruction; you know that path that you were just delivered from? Oh
you may get a belly full in this realm, but trying to access your heavenly
reward will leave you coming up empty because you spent too much time
chumming with the world and not enough time and effort getting to know God
the Father through His Son Jesus Christ. Many are willing to sell their
soul for man’s reward even though they think that they are going to receive
their heavenly reward as well. However, just like the old tuna commercial,
someday when their reality check comes due it will be “sorry Charlie”.
John 8:51-52 Verily, verily, I say unto
you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. (52) Then said the
Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the
prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of
death. (KJV)
When going through your Bible, did you
ever notice who it was that gave the Lord the most resistance? Amazing
isn’t it, all those religious people that should have known better and
embraced the truth God sent to us in the form of His Son. Well, you too
will find that as you go on the path of life that most of the opposition that
you will encounter as well will be from the many false prophets that claim
to be Christians, those that have never really ever established a personal
relationship with our Lord based on the truth that would set them free.
John 8:53-55 Art thou greater than our
father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou
thyself? (54) Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it
is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: (55) Yet
ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not,
I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. (KJV)
So do you still wonder who it is that
will be standing before our Lord claiming that they were one of His? Well
all that glitters is not gold; however, there is a lot of fools’ gold out
there that is being pawned off as the real deal. Do you know the truth so
that when you stand before the Lord He can say, “well done good and
faithful servant”? Or will you end up in a burning situation like many who
will end up well done?
