What will you say when you stand before God?

Though I understand it, it amazes me how arrogant many Christian leaders and members can be. We are called to be humble, loving, wise and unselfish. This brings to mind the carnal(flesh) led person versus the spiritual (spirit) led person. See Galatians 5. Although, I don't believe that there is anything wrong with being confident but many people take self confidence to far and it becomes arrogance. It is sad that to many people in the church miss the will of God by not being service minded and having a servant heart. To many want to be served and placed on a pedistal. There are to many good and true Christians who are being tainted by the ones who are focused upon themselves, their stuff, their lives and forsake true ministry.

It is time for every person in, Da Church" and in the Body of Christ to look at and examine our hearts, motives and actions. There will come a day that each person will stand before God and give an account. Each of us will stand alone before a HOLY GOD.

What will you say to Him?

Comment by Prophetess Yolanda O. Irons on September 3, 2009 at 1:35pm: I will let the work I have done on earth speak for me .... Iam sure that the Lord will be pleased to know that I have been a soldier in His army , working in the trenches , going on the highways and byways , telling dying men and women that Christ is the way , no matter the situation . I would tell the Lord that I have done all I can to complete my assignment and that I have walked humbly before Him .... I know He would say "Serrvant of God , well done !"

Comment by A.W. Bowman on August 31, 2009 at 1:55pm: I really don't think I will have anything to say. I have no justification for my actions or words. While I may think my words and deeds were performed out of a pure heart and motives, I know that my heart is a deceitful thing that I cannot truly know. Therefore, I must turn to my attorney to plead my case, for only He is qualified. If I am questioned concerning any unrepentant sin, then I must plead guilty and then stand or fall on the mercy of the Judge.

Job 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.(maintain: Heb. prove, or, argue) Unlike Job, however, I have learned from his mistake - I shall not "maintain mine own ways before him [God]." Rather, I shall continue to worship Him, praise Him, and give Him thanks for His many blessings, for He alone is worthy.

What if, at the end of my life I should not receive the reward of eternal life in the presence of my Lord Jesus? Then I will stand justly condemned.

Meanwhile, I am rethinking what I believe my relationship is with Jesus. How long will I continue to look toward heaven as some sort of spiritual Wal-Mart, i.e., how long will I maintain a relationship with Jesus for what I can get out of Him and His heavenly warehouse of goodies? That is, how long will it take before I am committed to a relationship with Him, based on love rather than His ability to satisfy my wants, desires, and needs (real or perceived)?

In other words, how long will it take before I am willing to give to my Lord what He wants from me, not because of what I might get in return, but just because He is worthy (deserves) to receive what He has every right to expect?
