EXAMINE YOURSELVES
“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” (2 Cor. 13:5 - KJV)
We are in a dispensation where people don't like to be rebuked even when it is so obvious that they are wrong. On this note, the word of God is saying this to you since you don't want others to rebuke and correct you. What God is asking you to do is that you examine yourself because you know yourself better. Where exactly are you? Are you really in Christ or you are just floating and hiding in the midst of brethren? Do you really have good relationship with God or you are just a church goer? You started this year with so much zeal and passion for God and His kingdom; is the passion still there? Is the Spirit of Christ in you?
Hear what the Bible says in 2 Cor 3:17: “Now the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty”. Liberty to be free from sin (1 Cor 6:9-10) and from fleshly lust (1 Pt 2:11).
The Lord does not want you to live your life in assumption as wrong assumption can cost youeternity. The truth is, many will fall victim of wrong assumption on the last day according to the word of our Lord Jesus Christ in Matt 7:21-23.
In conclusion, the Lord wants you to get it right before it is too late, therefore examine yourself today and make all necessary adjustments because our Lord Jesus Christ will come soon.
