I am reading Philippians and I went through verse 10, chapter 2, written
as “ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven and of
those on earth, and of those under the earth”.
I was thinking over who else in this world confesses more the name of
Jesus than Christians? We pray and call Him Lord, Savior, we say words of love
and surrendering to Him, right?
But last Saturday, while doing the meeting with the Youth ladies I have
said something of which I have been thinking over and over and was complemented
with this verse.
We express all the above in words but what goes on in our heart? We say
Jesus is Lord and Savior but in our heart do we make Him really our Lord or we
want to serve Him the way we see fit?
We bow our knees in prayer but don’t we doubt our own words allowing the
feelings that are in our heart to lead our mind?
We confess He is Lord, but when our problems are bringing the worst in
us, are we confessing His Lordship with our thoughts or actions?
How many times I have counseled people who starts by saying they gave
their life to Jesus, they pray, they fast and they believe He is the God of the
impossible but further into the conversation I have clearly noticed that this
person believes in all that but he does not believe that it is for himself?
So all the words said will not be effective because your mind is not in
line with your words; you are binding your knees physically but your feelings
of fear, doubt, complex, inferiority are not showing Lordship to Jesus.
Day 16 – meditate if your words are the real expression of your faith
and bow down your heart to Jesus’ Lordship today.
