Are you Worthy of the Cup?

Hello Good People and Others!

Hope you all are planning to enjoy this beautiful Sabbath. Whether you are resting or have to work, I pray that it is a peaceful and smooth day for you.

Today I want to leave you with a question to consider. We are in a new month fast approaching the first Sunday and you know that communion is upon us. For those of you that attend a church you will be asked to examine yourselves to see if you are worthy of partaking in communion. My question to you today……Are you worthy of the cup?

Most of us are experts at spotting the needle in someone else’s eye. Yet hardly do we thoroughly examine ourselves in the mirror to see that we have one of our own. Communion is not a small thing to indulge in. It is not, I was good today for this moment, I’ll partake in this remembrance, and go back to willingly sinning. It’s much, much deeper than that. You are submitting yourselves to the guilt of the blood and body of the Lord when you partake unworthily (1 Co 11:27). Meaning that blood is on your hands concerning Jesus crucifixion. Meaning you were among those who chose to have him crucified.

Our duty as believers of Christ Jesus is to examine ourselves, not others. Yet, we have become so accustomed to comparing and competing with others that we don’t seem to love ourselves enough to hold ourselves in the mirror long enough to see the err of our ways. We are to do our own work well so that we will have something to be proud of! Not comparing ourselves to others (Gal 6:4 ESV). See when we judge ourselves we are able to prevent ourselves from being judged (1 Co 11:31). Judging yourself might go something like “Am I truly a child of God?”, “Am I walking in my flesh or walking in the Spirit?”, “How can I intentionally represent Christ today?”, “Did I love my neighbor today?”. These are all questions that should highlight to you whether you are intentionally of the faith as a child of God (2 Co 13:5).

I know some of you others who choose to walk unrighteously will take this moment to go “See, you can’t judge me!” and before you do I would like to leave you with this scripture 1 Tim 1:8-10 and Gal 5:8. Both of these scriptures highlight how if a person is led by the flesh and not walking by the spirit the law can be justly used against you. We as believers are also called to judge righteously in John 7:24.

This blog is not a this or that moment. This blog is written to remind you that if you are doing your own personal due diligence in examining yourself genuinely; you will be found worthy of the cup. The cup being symbolic for partaking in Jesus blood and body. If you truly examine yourself and discover that you are not found worthy Lamentations 3:40 tells us to search and try our ways and turn again to the Lord. We serve a graceful God. Yet, we still have to ensure we are not lying to ourselves and being truthful about our ways. When we lie we are spawn of Satan because Jesus is the truth and life!

When we lie and partake in the cup anyways we are choosing damnation on ourselves. Walking with Jesus Christ wholeheartedly is not for those who can’t be honest. You are the exact person Jesus would love to realize that you could have a home with him where there is truth and love and PEACE. It requires honesty and you have to be willing to do the work on the inner you. You have to be willing to be ye separate from the world (2 Co 6:17). You have to choose to die to your flesh daily (1 Co 15:31, Ro 8:13) not live in it and then believe that God is going to forgive you. That is like premeditating a murder then asking for forgiveness knowing you were intentional about taking someones life. Which is wrong.

When we come to Christ we give up our sinful ways and that might appear boring to you at first. Most likely because you have to detox your mind, body and soul from the “fun” of the world by feeding your spirit with the word of Christ. Our fun in Christ is different but there is still a life of enjoyment living for Christ. Examine yourself and see….. Are you worthy of the cup? If you find that you are not or have not been. Do the work. Repent wholeheartedly and turn from your wicked ways (2 Chr 7:14).

Remember, someone who loves you will correct you (2 Tim 3:16) just as our Father in heaven does.

Stay prayed up. Stay vigilant. Continue to be an overcomer.

Love ya later!

Your Will won’t Cover that…..

Hey Beautiful people! Let’s talk about wills. Wills spiritually and wills in the natural.

In life, we live, we work, we enjoy, we cry, we lose, we learn, we grow! When we die, if we have properly prepared for our passing, we leave some “covering” for our families and loved ones from the labor we endured during our life. This will is a legal document that outlines how you would like your property and assets distributed amongst your loved ones. Wills help minimize the confusion and chaos amongst family members by assigning or designating things in advance. Due to wills being a legal document the family or loved ones have to abide by the will.

Hopefully that has provided you with a better understanding of a will in the natural sense. Now let’s look at wills in the spiritual sense.

In the KJV Bible Matthew 6:9-13, verse 10 states “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven!”

Our will, similar to that of the natural sense, are our desires or wants in life. The major difference is that our will in the spiritual sense will lead us to eternal life or death. Matthew 6:9-13 provides for us a way in which we should pray to our heavenly father who has adopted us and not given us the spirit of fear (Romans 8:15)! See when we choose to serve God, we are releasing the ways of the flesh and choosing to be of the Spirit. If the Spirit of God dwell in us we are of Christ (Romans 8:9-10). Therefore we are also “debtors” to the Spirit as well (Romans 8:12). We are giving up “our will” to take on the will of the Father (Matthew 26:39).

Heavy debt but it is one that ensures an eternal life! Remember now, we are members of the Heavenly Credit Union of Christ! Our perks are different.

In verse 12 of Matthew 6:9-13 it states “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” See our wills would have never been enough to “pay” for our sins. Matter of fact “our wills” were the exact reason we were unable to fulfill the law. Our natural state is one of sin (Romans 8:3). When we submit ourselves to the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) we are canceling our wills to purposefully pursue the will of our Father. It’s not easy, but there is purpose in it! There is life in it!

We are called to forgive those who “owe" or are “debtors” to us just as our Lord and Saviour sent his only begotten son to cancel our debts! Our sins, our natural nature (Romans 8:3) could have never cut it. We are to die to our flesh daily! We are to will ourselves to be righteous and walk in the ways of our Father. Jesus himself cried out three times to his father “if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou will” (Matthew 26:39-44).

Even our father submitted his will to his Father’s will.

In Mark 14:33 it talks about how Jesus “began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy”. When I read the scripture surrounding that it highlights to me how purpose is heavy when it is God’s will for your life. “For my yoke is easy, but my burden is light” (Matthew 11:30). Don’t let that last scripture go over your head.

We can’t be a light living in darkness. Living in the flesh. Operating within our will for ourselves. I’ll let you sit with that.

Gotta go. I’ll be back soon. Stay prayed up. Stay vigilant.

Love ya later!

Compensated in Life or Death?

Hey, hey, hey, good people!

Have you checked your savings account lately? Is it full or is it empty?

Are you struggling to maintain or thriving in the midst of ever growing expenses of life?

Saving up can be difficult for some. I know I can give a testimony on that for myself. In real time haha. Did you know that you could have a saving account with the Heavenly Credit Union of Christ? I’m sure you didn’t but ugh let me tell you some of the perks of being a member.

Well, the most important perk is the gift of eternal life. Yep, huge right? Shoot, I think so! I don’t know too many other banks offering that type of membership. I did hear over at the Fiery Gates Bank that you don’t even get to question them about the possibility of eternal life! All they have to offer is death and high interest on their credit cards and loan services. You’d be so tied down with life and debt that you will be overjoyed with the death fund by the time you have spent all your time on earth. They don’t even check your credit before they give you a card because they aren’t interested in protecting their bank. They’re interested in cashing out on your soul.

See at the Heavenly Credit Union of Christ they help you clean up your credit, free you from debt & the bondage of corruption to help you become fruitful members of society. They gift you eternal life! Gifts are free! I enjoy a good free gift. I’m not sure about you but I ain’t shamed to admit it.

See our word tells us in Romans 6:17-23, that God freed us from sin. When we chose to obey from our hearts the doctrine which was delivered unto us (his word) we became servants of righteousness! When we were freed of sin and became servants of God our fruit became unto holiness and everlasting life was a by product of our work. However, when we choose to stay in sin or the bondage of corruption we are paid in death!

Not sure about you but for me and my house we gone invest at the Heavenly Credit Union of Christ! We choose to have life and to have it more abundantly (John 10:10)!

Which membership will you choose?

Love ya later.
