ARE WE ELIGIBLE?
The holy scriptures
admonish us to carefully and prayerfully examine ourselves to assess whether we
are living in alignment with the will and Word of God. (I Corinthians 11:28 –
Galatians 6:4)
Consider the Psalmist David’s
prayer of self-evaluation (Psalm
15, verse 1) and the Lord’s revealing response to the same. (Psalm 15, verses
2-5)
Psalm 15 (NKJV)
1 Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle?
Who may dwell in Your holy hill?
2 He who walks uprightly, and
works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart;
3 He who does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;
4 In whose eyes a vile person is despised, but he honors those who fear the Lord; he who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
5 He who does not put out his money at usury, nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
3 He who does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;
4 In whose eyes a vile person is despised, but he honors those who fear the Lord; he who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
5 He who does not put out his money at usury, nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
In consideration of these Kingdom Requirements, would you and I be deemed
eligible for the favor and blessings of God?
Of course, no public responses are warranted or necessary. We simply need to reflect individually (and
soberly) and to ask THE LORD to search our hearts. (Psalm 139:23)
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all
else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
