CUT OFF
1 Corinthians 10:1-13

To have been there and not get there does not add anything, but only represents failure of the highest order. One thing about races is that, it is not enough to get started and not race through to the end. Also, rewards are not in the beginning, it is only for those that get to the end of the journey. I’’s good to be motivated but don’t celebrate in the beginning because to get to the end result is all that should be celebrated. Here is an ugly account of getting started and not following through, “Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, 2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. 5 But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.”(1 Corinthians 10:1-5) With this statement, it will never be a surprise if the rapture takes place during a Sunday service and the whole worship went on without noticing that one or two members had been raptured. Thousands and thousands started the journey, went, and passed through different grounds together, enjoyed an equal and very balanced provision with no discrimination or separation by hierarchy, but not all saw the end of the journey. This is true to the word of Jesus about the wheat and tare growing together. Matthew 13:30, “Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” The God that knows in the beginning, what the end is holding has the power to reroute every man that walking in deception or that are set for destruction. Do you know where you stand in this journey of life? God is not asleep, nor is He too busy, but there is time for situation and all that transpire under heaven. Ecclesiastes 8:11, “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” The word of God is true and all we come to pass, it will catch up with all in every way, on every path that every man under heaven has passed. Jesus said, “Let them grow together until the harvest time.” He did not separate them or stop them from growing. Indeed your growth in all areas that you have turned to is not the measure of your stand in the Lord. Man can be deceived, but God cannot. Where are you in the hand of God? “With most of them God was not well pleased.” Are you taking a step that pleases God? That is, are you walking in the word of God? Do not be cut off.
