DEBT CREATION



READ: HEBREWS 12:25-29
“Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest to God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences” (2 Corinthians 5:11).
Those who have gone with the Lord in rapture and have been married to Him will be summoned for the judgement of their works so that they can be decorated. On that day, all works we have ever done for the Lord will be packaged together and sent through the fiery compartment. That day in heaven will be a day of terror because many will watch in terror as their works are being tested by fire and reduced to nothing. On that day, you will see the works of some big and very popular evangelists, pastors, teachers, prophets and apostles and those we regard as mighty men and women of God – burn to ashes before all. When they call your name and the angel brings your own, you will begin to sweat and tremble because you cannot predict what will be left after the fire.
“And this word, yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain” (Hebrew 12:27). After the fire, the works that are shakable will be consumed while the enduring ones will remain. Rewards; will not be limited to good works: You will also be rewarded for bad works (2 Corinthians 5:10). Your good works that endured the fire will be your credit while your bad works will be your debit. As these are placed side by side with the final addition or subtraction – the debit from the credit, whatever you have left is what will determine your reward – your decoration, your level of glory, position in the 1000 years of reign with Christ and eternal level as we reign with Jesus Christ. There some people whose works will go through fire but because they have heaped so much debit, in the final analysis, all their credits will be gone. Are you generating the debits that will swallow your credit? How? Through idle words (Matthew 12:36), wickedness and oppression against fellow believers, gossiping and backbiting, pulling down men of God, envy, jealousy, greed, partial disobedience, self-will, etc. Put an end to debit creation today. Multiply your credit!
MEMORIZE: HEBREWS 12:28 –Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
