ENTERING YOUR REST 2

GOING FOR JESUS!
"Come to me, all you people who are very weary of trying to obey all the many laws that your religious teachers tell you to obey [MET]. I will enable you to quit trying to obey all those laws. Let me help you carry those loads, just like two oxen who have a yoke on their necks [MET, DOU] help each other pull a heavy load. It will not be difficult for you to do the things that I ask you to do for me [DOU]. Because I am gentle and humble [DOU], accept what I teach about what God wants you to do. And as a result, you will quit worrying about obeying all the religious laws, and your spirits will be at peace." Matt 11:28-30 T4T

Have you come now to Jesus? Did you eventually succeeded reaching Him? This is very crucial in the matter of going for God. If you haven't reached Jesus who reveals the Father to whoever He wills Matt 11:27, to everyone else, not just the Father but also us to us, you may not be any useful going for Jesus!

Those who haven't come to Jesus or being to the cross where He died, where sins are forgiven, where the human nature is crucified and kept safely for use, cannot be used of God for anything. God uses only vessels that are realized whose eyes of their understanding are enlightened. Eph 1:18

Many would love to be used of God and to do great things - great things because it's God alone who does great things Ps 136:4, but haven't settled this matter of meeting, coming to Jesus. God will have no choice than skip them. The very first thing to address if God would use you is "coming to Jesus" surrending your body, submitting yourself that He might live in you. Gal 2:20, Rom 12:1

There's a danger in going for Jesus without coming firstly to Him: sir, you'd be working for iniquity! Sure, you've heard the Lord say times and again, "Go away from me, I don't know you, for you're workers of iniquity!" Matt 7:21-23. What it means is, your works are from Sin, the sinful nature and unrelated to God, even if you have just raised a dead, you are nothing but an employee of Mr Iniquity!

Coming to Jesus is very crucial so you don't go wasting your investments. When you have fully satisfied the Come Status, going for Him is pretty easy, Mk 3:13-14. It'll come by-and-by. Note this also: without ever going for Jesus, you're completely a useless being. Why? Because you're use-less! Not used of God, His word nor His Spirit. Worse if you cannot be used at all, unusable or for any reason you're unavailable.

Excuse me please, if what you're doing now hasn't been commanded by Jesus, my friend, I'm sorry for you because it'll have no economic importance on your future. You would've sown your seeds among the thorns of life Jer 4:3, only to harvest nothing in due season because those thorns will choke up your planting Matt 13:7,22! You'd also have planted on unplowed ground only to harvest so little - something that'll only sustain you and your family alone, then die a subsistent farmer.

My friend, if you really want God to use you for the whole world, then come! Come to Jesus by stepping out, come out from your that dark cavernous place you're hidding like the fallen Adam Gen 3:8-10 and simply say, "Lord, here I come. I remit all my sins today, never to go back to them anymore. I submit my heart, my soul, my body that you may dwell therein, that you'd use me even as you shall choose. O Lord, to you I come!" Amen
