All In
“And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.”
- Revelations 3:14-16, NKJV

God is looking for a group of “sold out” followers…ones who will go all in for His glory. Unfortunately far too often the body of Christ has one foot in the door for God with the other hanging out, as if there is some sort of escape clause just in case things go sideways. However, God’s message is simple: you are either for Him or against Him…there is no in between. So today is decision day for His people and as we consume that message today, let us fully comprehend what it means to be all in. In other words we don’t pick or choose the portions of the Word we will/won’t follow, or the assignments we will/won’t complete. It means that we will give Him our all in everything…being where we’re supposed to be when we’re supposed to be and how we’re supposed to be. All in for Christ is a mindset driven from a lifestyle in Him predicated on the filling of the Holy Spirit and the installment/incorporation of the Word in our lives. God is looking for the people who are called by His name and belong to Him…and He recognizes them by their hearts’ commitment and love towards Him. We often say we are blessed and highly favored, but how many that state such have yet to completely give their all to Him whom has given so abundantly and graciously? How many still have one foot out the door, yet have confessed their loyalty to God through Jesus Christ? Today let us confess that we are too blessed to regress, and then faithfully commit our lives (in word and deed) to the Lord…allowing His love for us to ignite an everlasting fire within our souls that His glory might shine throughout the world.
BE BLESSED!
