FAITH CAPSULE: God knows all about all.
Matthew 7
What kind of man are you before God also questions what kind of a believer you are?
Psalm 1:1-2 records the kind a man should be, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful, But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.” (Psalm 1:1-2)
Does the psalmist speak to you?
God alone sees all.
The world is receivable.
God is not a God to be deceived by no one.
A man cannot be so innocent or ignorant about the kind of self in the way of living life.
Are you the kind of man that is carrying a placard, claiming that Jesus is Lord but does not have a place for Jesus as such live life?
God knows all about all.
Jesus states in Matthew 7:22-23, “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
Getting work done in His name for His name without walking in His ways will get no one to be recognized by Jesus when it matters the most.
What kind of man are you before God; what kind of a believer are you?
Today, question and answer yourself to identify the kind of believer you are before God.
Mark 8:27 records the question of Jesus for His disciples, “who do men say that I am” The question speaks to all.
Does your life reflect Christ?
Are you a bible that people can read?
Is the word of God rooted in you?
It is possible for a man to become decorated before the world but naked and empty before God.
Answering the title before God does not matter, but the task counts.
In life, your walk, where you sit, and what you stand will answer the question about what kind of a believer you are before God.
Do to yourself what the psalmist did to self as stated in Psalm 26:1-4, “Vindicate me, O Lord, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip. Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart. For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.”
The kind of life that everyone lives before God will count to gain the attention of God. It is the walk we walk that will identify us before God.
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to walk before God for His glory.
