Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)
The Narrow and Wide Gates
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and
broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But
small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find
it.
Hey
Guys!
Sorry
for the absence-I’m going through some transitions right now and will testify
when it’s done! #speakinginfaith!
Today
I wanted to quickly share a Word.
The
Lord says we should enter. But so
many refuse to simply enter. Has the
LORD told you to enter and you have refused? He may have told you to enter into
that opportunity, that job, that role, that position-but first to enter into His fullness-have you?
When
you enter it has to be through the narrow
gate-you have to go through it!
That
means you come through Him-for no one
comes to the Father except through the Son-John 14:6.
Notice
the positioning of the phrases in these verses. Firstly we are told to enter. Hence the invitation is open! Come to Him.
And
we come through the narrow gate-narrow means restricted. The gate is narrow-do
you know why? Because His burden is
light-Matthew 11:28-30:
Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am
gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For
my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
In
order to carry His burden-you have to
leave yours. Let Go! Leave everything-its not worth it. Come through the narrow
gate-Enter.
The
wide gate is so obvious you can see it in
the flesh-the wide gate that leads to drugs, alcohol, sexual immorality,
depression-that is the wide gate.
But the
narrow gate can only be found by the Spirit-when you enter into the presence of
the LORD He takes you through the narrow gate. The question is-are you willing.
For wide is the gate and
broad the road leading to destruction-a simple
example of this is-alcoholic
addiction, sexual addiction, drug addiction and all these are symptoms of
destruction found on the road to the wide gate-it leads to destruction.
That
is its destination-and many are its
victims. As I said you can see it in the flesh-look around at the
destruction plaguing the current generation-the wide gate that many have
entered through-so change your
direction-come through the narrow gate.
It leads to life-and
only a few find it.
It
is found by those who answer the call of Christ-the call of the Spirit-listen
to His voice and come to Him-you will have no regrets-it is the best and most
important decision you will ever make-He gives life.
Only
a few find the narrow gate because it is found in Christ. To find is to
discover-allow Him to use you-but only a few make this choice-are you one of
the few?
Are
you one of the few that choose life instead of death?
He
gives peace, prosperity, wisdom, intimacy-He breathes life on everything-so
have you made that choice?
