GOD IS THE FIRST!
READ: Matthew 22:1-14
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. :- Matthew 22:37-38
In this story, we see how many people were invited to a party. Instead of many people attending the party, just a few showed up. Many took the invitation lightly! Many went their own ways; some to the farm and others to their merchandise. In the same way, many people have been invited to God’s kingdom. Many people have been called to the ministry. Many people have been specially selected to serve God in various capacities.
Unfortunately, few people respond properly to this great invitation. Jesus prophesied that there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth over this point. Jesus predicted that people would regret not taking the call of God seriously. Jesus predicted that people would regret not being among the few who were chosen.
You will regret for the whole of eternity that you did not take the call of God with the seriousness that it deserved. You will eternally regret that you were among the many who were called but not among the few who were chosen. You set God aside and told Him that He was disposable and expendable. God does not like to be disposable. Nor does He like to be expendable. God is the first! He will always want the first position. You must pay attention to God because He wants it and deserves it.
