The Invitation

The Invitation

Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me. Revelation 3:20 AMP

You were created with a God-shaped vacuum in you. You had the breath of God put in you at creation, making you a living being. That simple fact underlines your ownership, source and inspiration. If you truly understand this, you will not struggle for relevance, impact, purpose and direction. However, reality around us seems to point in another direction. It appears that man is seeking for direction and purpose anywhere else apart from God alone. Since the fall of man in the garden of Eden, it appears as if we have simply outgrown our dependence on God. The sin of Adam rested on the pursuit of self-sufficiency, self - reliance and pride in knowledge. How then do we get back what God had planned for us long ago which we had lost?

Form today's extract, a few things are clear: 1. So many options will come, including God, knocking on the door of your heart, seeking attention and relevance. 2. You have power over the choice you will open to, but once you have opened to one, you have no power over the eternal consequences of your choice. 3. Even though God owns you, he does not force himself on you. You have to willingly and consciously decide to open up to God. The question of eternity required you to make the choice yourself so that you do not blame anyone for the consequences of your choice. 4. The invitation to open up is given to EVERYONE alive, including YOU. 5. When you open the door, God assures that he will come in, practically live with you, eat with you, taking up permanent residence.  That is absolute friendship and trust. You get that when you make God your only choice. You have heard his voice and he wants to come in, what will your response be? Eternity is at stake here, where do you want to spend it? The invitation is still open, today is the day of decision. How do you plead?
