1 | Purposing alone is not enough | Dan 1:8 | Wofa Ato | 219051 | ||
Many at times we read and quote the very first portion of this scripture and refuse to finish it. Bible says he purposed in his heart. . . therefore he "REQUESTED". After the man purposing in his heart he made is a point to go a step further. After purposing in your heart to make Jesus your Lord and Personal savior. don't stop there for it is not enough to stop just there. God expects us to move on. God expects us to separate ourselves from the heathen just as Daniel did from the King's food and wine. Where? Check these out, 2Cor. 6:17 says "Therefore come out from them and be separate"(NIV). Come out suggest that it is an action you need to personally take. What are you to come out from . . . Eph. 5:3-11, Col. 3:5-12, 1Thes. 4:3-8. Verse 11 of Eph. chapter 5 says "have nothing to do with the unfruitful deeds of darkness" (NIV). God calls them unfruitful and things of darkness. Have you forgotten He had said for what has light got to do with darkness (Paraphrased). You may say my righteousness is of God. True but He never said anywhere that since you have believed you can choose to do that which you use to do when you were not saved, instead He said consistently that separate yourself from them that you may be accepted. Heb.12:14 . . . Make every effort. So what do you do after the separation for the consecration. 2Pet. 1:1-10 . . . in the verse number 8 the writer says "For if you posses these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ". To keep you sanctified, strife to posses these qualities. In Verse 10 . . . give diligence to make your calling and election sure". We need to do something by separating yourself unto God for just purposing to follow Jesus and staying in the old ways is just not the way. But be rest assured that God will provide you with the strength even as you decide and make efforts to live right with Him. For He has said in Jude 24 says "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy". It is the joy of the Lord to see you standing. God Bless and Stay safe |

2 | Purposing alone is not enough | Dan 1:8 | CDBJ | 219062 | ||
Greetings, Concerning your post with emphasis on the following. “After purposing in your heart to make Jesus your Lord and Personal savior.” We cannot make Jesus anything, as it were: He is what He is! One can either except it or reject it; it is all a matter of fact, and the work that God has done from eternity past. One elects to fall in line with God’s plan or they suffer the consequence of the results. The daily intake of God’s Word and the application of the same is the only way to come out on top of the process when all is said and done. Have a great day, CDBJ |
