FAITH CAPSULE: Pray for the possibility of God over you.
Matthew 19:13-30
Regardless of this world’s challenges, with your desire not to miss the Kingdom of God, pray continually to FOLLOW Jesus (the Word of God) FULLY.
The journey of life is a route that leads to the kingdom of God.
In the journey of life, depending on how all walk with God will determine who makes it to the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God.
What does it take not to miss the kingdom of God?
The word of God speaks to all about what it takes not to miss the kingdom of God, “…Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” (Matthew 19:23-24)
Demands of the word not to miss the Kingdom of God is very challenging as disciples were stunned to question Jesus, “…Who then can be saved?” (Matthew 19:25)
Are you a rich one that will find it hard to make to the kingdom of God?
Who is a rich one?
A rich one does not suffer a lack of need.
When comfort answers in the place of lack, it becomes the evidence of one as the rich.
One whose needs are being met and become rich is with the tendency to forget God, to take a position outside of route not to enter the kingdom of God.
The question, who then can be saved, by disciples of Jesus was answered by Jesus’ stating, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)
Through the pages of the Bible, it is pointed out that the possibility with God will only come with prayer before God, not just by quoting the word of God for anyone to achieve one’s desire.
Are you praying with the expectation for the possibility of God over you or just quoting the possibility of God without praying?
In the journey of life, the route that leads to the kingdom of God also demands from all (not only rich) to follow Jesus, when Jesus spoke to disciples about following Him in Matthew 19:28-30, “So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.”
Regardless of who you are, by Jesus’ word, it is only one that FOLLOWS HIM FULLY that will make it to the Kingdom of God.
With desire and continual prayer that will make it possible not to miss the Kingdom of God FOLLOW the Word of God (Jesus) in the journey of life, a route that leads to the kingdom of God.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to follow Him fully in the journey of life by God over your life.
