Topic: Self Examination
Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 13:1-6
With thank God
for given us grace to witness the last Sunday of year 2015. We started in peace
and ended in peace not in pieces, glory be to His Holy name.
Gradually, this
year is coming to end, and it is very important for everyone to do spiritual examination
to know where we are in this year 2015. This year should not go without
critical examination of individual. We are mandating to examine ourselves
before we say goodbye to the year.
What You Must Examine in Your Life:
1. Examine
Your Ways – Lamentation 3:40.
There are several ways that people use to follow, but only one way was appointed
and approved for every Christian to follow in their lives which is JESUS WAY. Others
ways will cause you to fail and fall while the WAY of Jesus will make and cause
you to succeed and end well in peace. The WAY you follow will determine where
you will end to. If you follow the ungodly way, surely you will reap and end
sorrow, sadness and failure.
2. Examine
Your Characters – Matthew 7:5. Character play important role in our daily
relationship with others. Our character is what proves us who we are with our
neighbour and people around us. You cannot hide your character. Your character
must be examined by yourself to know how far you influence people either
positively or negatively. This year, is your character win soul to the Kingdom
of God or populating the kingdom of Satan? Are your character derail people
away from Christ or develop people in godliness? Is your character brings
positive change to the church of God or bring crisis to the Body of Christ? All
these and others questions you must ask yourself!
3. Examine
Yourself if You are Still in Faith – 2 Cor.13:5. The way many people take Christ when they
first met Him was very high. 24/7 they are in church fellowship. Every time they
attend Bible Study or Bible Class. Every day, they hungry to know more about
God and His Word in their meditating and reading their Bible, but now, they
were too busy with world things that have no profit. They are too lazy in attending
church services, even Sunday service, they will be there late. They are now
full of excuses. If you are among them, you must examine yourself and repent
now before it is late. If Jesus comes today, can He still meet you in living
faith that thirst for Him?
4. Examine
Your Work – Galatians 6:3-4. Another
thing you must examine is your work, business, job, studies, etc. is your work
prospering this year? Is your work is done in godly way? Do you fraud people
this year with your work? How many people you deceive with your business? Every
profit you make this year was it approved and accepted by God? Everything you
called achievement in your business, job or work for this year, is earned or
achieved in godly and right way? Think of it all!
5. Examine
Your Possessions – I kings 3:21. At
this point, you are to examine if you possess all the possessions that God has
for you this year. The possessions in your hands are the one that belong to you
or the one that belong to the devil. The woman that owns the living child in 1
Kings 3:16-28, was robbed and another woman gave her dead child, but when she
examined the child critically, she discovered that the child in her hands is not
her child and she cried unto king to help her got her child back. If the woman
did not examine the child very well, she could have end carried dead child. This
same applicable to you now, examine your possessions, are they yours? Have you
got all what God has for you this year in terms of money, joy, properties, etc?
Well, the word of God is telling you to examine your possessions if it is
complete for this year. Mind you, it is not too late for you to achieve and
possess all your possessions for the year 2015. God is the mighty God that can
do all things without hindrances. If you
has faith in HIM, He can surprise you with uncommon testimony in the remaining days
of this year.
6. Examine
Yourself if You are Qualify to Eat With Christ – 1Cor.11:28. The last but not the least of where we
should examine ourselves is our qualification in eating with Jesus at the Marriage
of the Lamb. Not everybody will be in the Marriage of the Lamb that is coming
at anytime from now. Only those that prepare themselves in maintaining godliness,
righteousness, holiness and faithfulness will be the participants. Anybody that
is living the sinful life of adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness, idolatry, stealing, fraud, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness,
reveling, assassination, kidnapping, and such like: of the which I tell you
before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians
5:19-21.
7. Conclusion,
examine yourself and know
where you are the keys to amend your ways and return to God in holiness and righteousness
of heart. You cannot continue living your life as you like, you must commit yourself
in doing the WILL of God. As this year is coming to end, I urge you to put end
to all your bad behaviours, all your bad characters, all the evil imagination
that fill your heart. Enrich your soul and mind with the word of God. Meditate
and study your Bible day and night. Engage yourself in fervent prayer and
fasting. God bless you!
