Do It All In The Name Of Jesus and Be Thankful

Verse of the Day *November 25, 2012*

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:17 NIV

Praise God! so many times in our going in's and our coming out's, we don't do things of our own free will. We don't feed the hungry because it's something we want to do, we don't give to the church because it's something we want to do, we don't visit the sick because it's something we want to do and we don't even seek God because it's something we want to do!

What ever we do in our life, it should be from the heart. People are always telling others what and when to do a thing, until sometimes people just do it to keep their mouth closed. God get's no glory and one is not doing it unto the Lord but unto man.

It is getting so sad to the point that even in the church house, they tell you when to stand up, when to clap your hands, when to dance and even so when to sit down. This is not unto God, but unto man!

We must learn when we are trying to draw others to God, we should be the first partakers. We need to learn not to tell others what they should do but you do it and they will see and follow.

Let us give others the opportunity to know God for themselves. Let them feel the marinating of Christ down on the in side to know why they do a thing. Then and only then, they can give God thanks on their own accord and know why!

Today's Task: Just ask someone WHY did they do what they did! I hope you get more of: because I wanted to do it! Have a Blessed Day!
