Focus: 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - KJV
9. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Matthew 13:47-50
God is assembling a team of inheritors of His kingdom. Unlike the now old earth where all manner of wickedness dwells, the Kingdom will be devoid of filth. Common lies will not be allowed into it so as not to defile it. Hence, the Lord is carefully selecting those that can be part of the inheritors thereof, so as not to allow any form of filth therein at all. He knows and teaches that a little leaven leavens the whole lot. Allowing a little blemish will end up soiling the bunch.
If a liar is described as the son of his father the devil, how do we assume that God will allow a son of the devil in His kingdom? It is from being a liar that every other vice is developed: fornication, murder, idolatry, covetousness and so on are built on lies. There is a separate place made for the devil; there will his children be with him also. Corruption cannot inherit incorruption. The flesh cannot inherit God’s kingdom.
The clarion call is being made again: only those who overcome to the end shall be saved. That simply means they are the ones the inheritance is meant for. To be partakers, we are to get sealed with the sign of the cross on our foreheads as prophesied by Ezekiel. The sign will only be implanted on those who are born of God and have not by their conduct, renounced Him. Some are living a lie: the Lord sees them and will reject them in the end.
Please pray:
Father, I thank you for the grace to know you and be grafted into your family. Please keep me as yours with a clear marking to the very end, that I may inherit your kingdom. Please flush out of me everything that does not pertain to you and cannot make it into your kingdom, in Jesus’ name. Let all contraband be jettisoned even today, dear Lord, as no one knows when your appearing would be, in Jesus’ name. All that have been jettisoned, help me never to attract them to myself again, and please make my life glorious from now on, in Jesus’ name.
Please share with others. God bless you.
