Way to the Kingdom

Scripture:  "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven"  Mt 7:21
  
Reflection: You work for your boss and slog for him day and night and yet there is no guarantee that at the end of the day you will share a meal with him.  You may even issue orders, open his treasury and sign document on his behalf, yet all this power doesn’t assure you the company of the boss. What is required is that personal equation and relationship with the Boss. Unless you have met his high standards you cannot please him who is perfect and demand righteous living.

Likewise, you may cast out demons and prophesy and heal, yet it does not guarantee a place with the master. Unless you enter into a relationship with him through faith with his word abiding in you and follow him in his footsteps and commune with him daily there is no way you can enter the kingdom of heaven.

Prayer:  Lord, may I be faithful as you teach me to relate with you daily.
