TOPIC: Does He Know You?
Read
Matthew 7:21-23
21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Memorise
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. John 10:14
Open Heaven For Teens 10 November 2022 Message
Many people claim to know God. They know His names, read the Bible, go to Church, work in different departments in the Body of Christ et cetera, so, they believe that they know God. Well, it is good to know
God but it is far better to be known by God. You might say “But God knows everything, He is the Creator of everyone and He knows me”.
To be known by God here goes beyond His being aware of your existence, it means a deep knowledge and acknowledgement of who you are based on the relationship that exists between the both of you. For instance, in our Bible reading for today, Jesus said that not everyone who called Him Lord would enter into the Kingdom of God.
He went further to say that some would say that they cast out demons, performed signs and wonders in His name and He would still ask them to depart from Him Beloved, those referred to in today’s Bible reading, who cast out demons, who performed signs and wonders were not unbelievers; they were workers, prophets, pastors et cetera. Therefore, it is not enough to be a worker in Gods house. Have a personal relationship with God. Do His will at all times and God will recognise you.
Action Point
Does God truly know you?
