Matthew 7:22,23 ( Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name we cast out devils? And in thy name have many wonderful works been done? And then I will profess to them, I knew you not, depart from me, ye that work iniquity)

Many Christians, I say many, will be turned back on that day with the words of I knew you not, depart from me, when they will be expecting ” welcome faithful servant”.

But the word that is weighty from the master’s mouth will be unexpectedly pronounced to them, an irreversible word that’ll counsel every work they have done on earth to please themselves instead of pleasing God, thinking they are going to be rewarded not knowing they did all that in disobedience against their creator.

Unfortunately, many are working for God without knowing the God of the works, they think they know God not knowing it’s a different God they’re following all these whiles. But in fact God didn’t know them, nor acknowledge their works, they did all that with the vanity of life and end up worshipping in vain.

God knows all his children whose names are written in the book of life before the foundation of the world, while most of them are still in the world dining with the devil, God has made a way for their redemption by the sacrifice of his son at Calvary.

He also knows the agents of satan mixed with the children of God, tares are growing together with the wheat, at the harvest time, there shall be separations, which all of them will go to where they belong which they work for all the days of their lives.

Children of Satan has interpulated in to the church of God masquerading as the children of light and their works will reveal them at the end of the day, for they preferred working for God against his will.

Many are called but few are chosen, it’s the chosen ones that are known by God not the called.

When you serve God with a double mind, your fruits will reveal it, some people’s services are not perfect before God, how will he welcome them into his presence, some are ready to work for him but not ready to know him, that is why their service is hijacked by the devil which takes the glory from them at the end of their service.

No one can bribe God with service without doing his will, you can’t substitute sacrifice for obedience, those who do that commit rebellion against God and injure their souls in the end.

Some call themselves because of their stomach while some call themselves so they can belong to the high and mighty of society, they call for the benefit, not for the sacrifice.

Many call him Lord but not living in his will, without living in his will, you’re not qualified to enter his kingdom. If you don’t know him, he will not acknowledge you, if you’re ashamed of him in this cruel world, he will be ashamed of you in the presence of his father and his holy angel.

Depart from me, I knew you not, this is the scariest voice one would ever hear on the other side of eternity, the word that determines your destination and your eternity.

Ask yourself if God knows you despite your work in his vineyard, know that it’s not the work that qualifies you, but his will.

If you’re part of his, he will correct your actions that are contrary to his will, if you’re living without being corrected, you are in danger, may be he has abandoned you to yourself waiting for the day you will give account.

He said the child I love, I rebuke and reprimand, it’s a bastard in the house that the father left to himself without being corrected. For he knows that he will soon relocate his father’s house.

It’s the sheep of Jesus Christ that will listen to his voice, they won’t follow a stranger no matter the deception from the devil, because they know the voice of their shepherd when he is speaking and they know his language.

You can’t be among the disciples of Jesus Christ and submit yourself to Satan’s deception. If you’re truly on the Lord’s side, you will obey his commandments, which is a mark of Christ Jesus to know his disciples.

How will God know you when you don’t know him, how will he send you a message to people when he doesn’t know you, there is a difference between knowing God and knowing man, and there is a difference between knowing him intimately or knowing by hearsay.
You know there is God and demons also know that and they tremble, will you say God has a relationship with demons because they know him?

God knows them by their works and will reward them accordingly when it’s time.

So also a human who claimed to know God but differs from him in nature, he will reward them by their fruit also.

If you know him you wouldn’t allow things to take his place in your heart, because you will know that he does not want rivals.

Had you known him you would have obeyed him diligently without counting what your relatives would say.

If you truly know God you would have loved your neighbours as yourself, because God is love, haters don’t have a portion in his kingdom.

How do you expect God to know you and acknowledge you as his son or daughter if you don’t actually know what he likes or what he hates?

Some Christians have committed themselves to the god of the world that is in control of the world society and still claim they serve the living God, if they refuse to repent, they’ll see the results of their decisions on the other end.

Someone takes you to church where satan is glorified with marine forces in manifestation, and you settle there to worship God, if at the end of the day God says, depart from me, I knew you not, what will be your testimony?

If the foundation is destroyed, what can the righteous do, if the foundation of your faith is having issues, how will you place it on a solid rock?

If your foundation is built on sandy soil, how do you expect it to change to rocky ground if you can’t pull it down and reconstruct it on the rock?

God is seeking those who will serve him in spirit and in truth, not those who will serve with an imperfect heart.

If your knowledge of God is different from, what is revealed in the Bible, it means that you’re serving a different God entirely but if it’s aligned with what is revealed in His book, that is when He knows you and can stand on your behalf to advocate for you on judgment day.

If you are a general overseer of the largest congregation in the whole world, and you are not known by God, you come to the world in vain, no matter the knowledge of the scripture you have, if you don’t know the Word personified, you’re already lost forever and He will also deny you on that day.

It’s only those who know God and God knows that truly live, any others are dead on arrival without knowing him.

Prayer: Father lord, let me know you, let me live my life for you, so you won’t deny my existence on the last day, in Jesus name amen.
