GOD IS USING ME, SO HE MUST BE HAPPY WITH ME....?? No way!
Wrong!! The fact that God is using you, says nothing about Him being pleased with your life. You see, the Bible says, Gifts and Callings are without repentance,(Romans 11:29) in other words, God does not revoke your gift, He gives you a gift and that’s it. He will never revoke that gift, under no circumstance. More reason why God will deny many who came in His name.
So many men and women of God that have a gift of preaching and prophecy etc have come to a place where they believe that Just because God is using their gifts, God is happy with them and hence many have stopped really walking introspect, trusting God for every step they take.
Sadly some no longer really have a burden for the lost souls, but wallets, cars and material possessions have become the main focus. Many have stopped caring in their hearts and have gone on to defraud people their monies, manipulated the people’s minds into giving even their last pennies in the name of "God demands you sow a seed"..,Many have lived unclean immoral lives in their private spaces and yet assume, just because when they pick up the Microphone, anointing comes, the “spirit moves”, the sick get delievered etc, You think that God is pleased with us if we live so? Well.....
God will continue to use the gift, and you could be far from God as Egypt is from India. You can see mighty things done in your ministries, and deceive yourselves that God is pleased with you. But Remember
Matthew 7:22, “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?”
Who are these "many" people that say Lord we have prophecied(preached) in your name, we were having deliverance services, and we did wonders in your name? These are people we call Men and Women of God. The Lord Jesus says, Many. Many of these will come to him. How much is many?? MANY means MANY!!. So, if you have seen mighty things in your ministry, let that not be a yardstick that you use that God is pleased with you. Let us search our hearts daily, our motives, our private lives.. when no one is looking, our thoughts.., there will no be any short cut to heaven for us, just because we have a “Gift”, or we started a ministry, raised the dead, healed the blind. I can raise the dead every day of my life and still go to hell!! Gifts and callings are without repentance. Let not our gifts blind us to the truth and the seriousness of this Gospel.
Repentance in totality is what made God call David a man after His heart ♥!
