Main Idea
Let’s take a walk with Jesus and ask Him some questions. Jesus, “How we can inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, and what measure will You use to gauge our fitness to inherit your Kingdom, I mean, can we really make it? Do you really want us to be there?
We will discover that Jesus gives very clear guidelines. To Accept Gods message becomes our very first priority and everything else boils down to love and being the least (being the servant of the other). The important thing is to be vigilant and ready devils attracts/Jesus ‘coming Jesus not only made it possible to go the Heaven (John 3:16,17) But He desperately wants us to be there. Jesus has Good thoughts towards us….. Shout, supper, let you sit on his throne just as you would like to do to your kid, show us his love
In Matthew 13: Jesus spent a great amount of time describing the nature of those who will inherit Kingdom of heaven.
Jesus explained: Matt 13:24 The proclamation and the acceptance of the Kingdom message can be compared to the sowing of and germination of seed. The proclaimed message is pure and perfect, just like good seed; (Like seed, The Word contains everything needed to initiate growth) it’s a perfect message. Matt 13:26 And when it enters the heart it starts to grow, it’s a perfect sprout. The message is meant to produce good fruit, 38-43 it changes into the sons of the Kingdom. So, 19 when anyone hears the Word, it penetrates the heart, but some refuse to understand it, Satan comes and snatches it away:
25And if that doesn’t work he waits until our guard is down and then He sends his own disciples to mislead us.
: 26 So, as we produce fruit, we meet wicked friends tempting and opposing us (pure pressure) they are fruitless tares that constricts our growth. 23but if we allow the Word to shape our understanding we will produce much fruit. Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: (σινιάζω) To try ones faith to the verge of overthrow (The first step in process of sifting wheat is to loosen the chaff by spreading the wheat over a floor made from stone, then they beat it to separate the edible wheat from the chaff,. .) Satan’s plan is to divide and to conquer, (rock & hard place)and then he wants to beat you up and kick you out)
Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
:27 Then we ask, Lord, you predestined every person to inherit the Kingdom of God and you gave a good message, so, how is it then that believers become corrupt and immoral and why do they produce bad fruit. : 28 Jesus said, there is a great controversy between Jesus and Satan and you are the target. The devil did this, not me! Then we reason, do you think it best that we separate and destroy the wicked: 29 But Jesus knows best. Should you expose the enemies of the cross and uproot them; being a friend of the World, they would get tied up in a knot and being rooted on the same foundation. (Soil pulls up both) Both would be uprooted. Lose their Salvation, In any case, it is so hard to distinguish between them, you hardly can tell the difference, sometimes. They look so worldly. So, the best solution would be to let them grow together. In the process the true believers will produce good fruits and they will be distinct from the non-believers, (they would have had time to show their true colors) and this is the best time for separation. Anyhow, the Angels will be sent to separate them, not now, and not by you! And when that happens, those who produced fruit will be gathered and taken to heaven, 41 and those refusing His law of love offends Jesus and they will be punished accordingly. : 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
47Jesus explained himself to be a fisher of men; He attracts and draws hoards of people when He cast His spiritual net. Producing all kinds of converts; some turn out to be good and some bad.
:31Jesus said, Let me say it like this, Faith in the Word and our growth start of very small. It’s like a mustard seed. When we receive the Gospel message for the first time it affects us in a very small way 44-45 then we discover it to be a very costly gift, buried in a pit of carnality. Like a very costly pearl and we become treasure hunters and seek for it wherever we go, but if we ASK for it we will receive it. It will be like a newly discovered treasure Matt 6:20, 21 where your treasure is, is where your heart is. You will give everything to own it matt 13:33 and once you found it, it permeates the mind and the heart and it effects every part of your soul, and it grows and it grows till your entire life become changed. Matt 6:31-32 By A.S.K. It grows so big that we mature in faith and we draw very close to God We root ourselves firmly in the Word of God and we grow strong branches to reach out and consume Gods glory. We draw so close to God that we reach out to others and we become a shelter in the storm for new born Christians and they can count on us to support them to inherit the Kingdom of heaven. You must allow the Word to grow, just like seed.
52 Jesus said Everyone who surrender their lives to Christ will be converted and they will get a heart transplant. They will accumulate the fruits of the Spirit in a treasure chest to present to God at His coming,. We will have Old and the newly accumulated Gifts to present to Christ.
In Matt 20 Jesus said. You are an evangelists of my Kingdom and you should reach out to the world, Jesus said, some have served God for many years, and they have worked very hard, but weather we have been following the Lord a long time or whether we were saved yesterday. Mattv20:8-16 We can expect to get the same reward no matter how long we've labored. It is not the works that count, Those who are first will be last and those who are last will be first and every believer will get the very same reward according to our deeds. Christ will be very generous that day matt 22:9, 10, 14 Jesus said; I invited My chosen people to My Kingdom. But, it is a very sad story, they did not accept the message, thus I extended my calling and gave invitations to everyone. But only a few accepted it. Matt 22:5 many refused to take it seriously. Money became their treasure Matt 6:33 but Jesus asked us to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and we will receive all these gifts Matt 22:1- Jesus said My Father is preparing a huge banquet for his children. Who follow Him without compromise; it is the marriage supper of the Lamb. : Matt 22:11, 12 There are those who will want to go to heaven without the robe of the righteousness of Christ, but they will be refused and they will be speechless, but, but, but, Matt25 Others will accept my message; they will be pure as virgins. And they will walk the walk and talk the talk. I will give them the gift of the Holy Spirit but Matt 25:5 Luke 12:45 Many will get tired of waiting and their experience will dull over time, they will not endure until the end, and when they see the bridegroom coming, they will want to spark up their relationship but they will be left without resources commitment. Matt 25:10 and the door will be shut in front of them. Matt 25:11,12 Jesus said, if you refuse the Holy Spirit, you never knew me and I don’t know you, so watch, wait and be ready, I will come with My angels, it will be very unexpectedly, :Matt 25:31,32 When I come, I will sit on the throne of My Glory :49the Angels will gather everybody:42 and I will separate the unrighteous from the righteous and I will proclaim judgments Matt 25: 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Matt 25:35-46 Jesus said, my Kingdom is all about people, if you want to have a treasure in to take to heaven you must care for one another, and if you do, it will be credited to you as if you had done it to me.
Matt 25:14. Jesus said, I have entrusted you with certain talents according to your own ability; use it or lose it. Some have received only one talent, don’t berry it and don’t hide it, and use it to my glory: matt 25:19 A reckoning is coming. John 18:36 Jesus said, My kingdom is not of this world and it not here yet, it’s a future event.
Matt13:23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
Jesus said luke12:31, 33-34 what you set your heart on shows where your treasure is and the only treasure that is worth anything is Jesus, nothing else will last. The decision is yours, why don’t you make My Kingdom your number one priority and I will provide for all of your other needs. Jesus said Luke 12:35Let your waist be girded, and your lights burning; In Bible times a traveler would raise his tunic up and secure it with his belt to free his movement and keep it from dragging in the dust.
Luke 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: Expectant verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, - The waiters had their clothes tucked up in their belts, ready to serve. Then Jesus said...: Luke 22:29 Luke 12:44 When you enter into my Kingdom I will show you my love and I will give you everything I have. Matt 6:14-15 and If you want to be forgiven, start by forgiving others. Should you refuse to forgive others your Father will also refuse to forgive you: Matt6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore Thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Luke 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
Jesus reassured us. Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Matthew 6:13 For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
So, seing that we have such a loving Father knowing that He is all loving and He has your best interest in mind. don't you think it would be great if you could decide to accept Him as your Savior right now. Why don't you say: Lord, I know you love me with an everlasting love and I know you want me to have everlasting life with you. I accept you; please lead me where you want me to go and please make it easy for me to follow. I am sincere and I am a good candidate for heaven because I am sincere, please save me and lead me Home. I want to be in that number and I will keep on asking till you come. I love you Lord!
