Message
A certain man worked in a particular company. After many years of work, the company planned to reward him. He was to be given a new house, a new car and other gifts. The man was given a large sum of money to build a very beautiful house. He did not know that the house was for him and his family. He did a bad work and used low quality materials for the building. He finished the house and even gave some money back to the company.

A few days after, he was invited with his family for a retirement party. He was very sad when the house he built was given to him. He thought the house was for another person. Like Moses was telling the children of Israel, you must understand that your obedience to God is for your own good. The blessings are directly for you. Your righteousness can take only you to heaven. Do not act as if you are godly for the good of another person. You must quickly obey whatever God commands you to do. It is for your good.

Prayer for today: Lord, help me to be sincere in all I do so that I can be blessed by You.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
