Maybe A Smile?maybe An Ouch?

Hello Everyone!
Here's a question the Lord put on my heart and I believe it's such a
deep Word that I thought I would share it with all of you! Please answer
this honestly and only give that answer to God alone! Here it is-
In all your works,how many of them are truly done unto God and NOT
for yourself? To feel good about it,to be noticed by others,told to others,
or for a pat on the back,or just to look good or better in some way then
another? How about for a thank you?
Now,none of these things are wrong in themselves.But,how many are done
for the Lord alone? For only Him to receive from you and none else? Looking
for our reward (if any) from our Lord alone? After deep contemplation I had
to say...ouch! But to realize this was a good thing.No,I'm not promoting the
erroneous doctrine of works for salvation but rather about the works we do
afterward.Who get's the glory? God? Or me?
REVELATION 22;12,13 And,behold,I come quickly;and My reward is with me,
to give every man according as his work shall be,I AM Alpha and
Omega,the beginning,and the end,the first and the last.

the other day my co-worker shared this word Rev 22:12-13 and i have been meditating on it and listening on Revelations via audio bible till today. i couldn't get enough of it and keep on repeating the whole book just waiting upon the holy Spirit of Abba Father to reveal more of the work He has for me to do and not miss out on it. i praise God for you now for reaffirming this, and i praise Him for the reward you are to get for this in the name of Christ Jesus, our Redeemer and King.

ALL our life should be dedicated to the LORD!
I try to dedicate every bit of myself, all I do to the LORD, yet my emotions too often seem to pop up!
The Lord is at work in my heart...

Thank you brothers and sisters for commenting on this.The question that I cover here went deep into my soul and I knew from recognizing the Holy Spirits voice that this was meant to be shared.We all want to be loved,accepted,and recognised by our peers.But when we stand before our Risen Lord how much of what we have done,truly (in deep self-searching honesty) was done unto the Lord our God ALONE? This kind of floored me.This is not to put ANYONE under condemnation,rather it is meant to bring,maybe an ouch or two but mostly smiles! You know my beloved friends?This helped me to look more at what I do and make sure it is Jesus that gets glorified and not my flesh.How self righteousness or bragging of self is so easily recognised by Spirit filled Christians and held in disgust.My pride must remain crucified with Christ and always remain surrendered to the Holy Spirit. So,will it be wood,stubble and hay? Or Should we all go for the GOLD!

allow me to share this ....


Lamentation 3:25
The Lord is good to those who wait hopefully and expectantly for Him, to those who seek Him
[inquire of and for Him and require Him by right of necessity and on the authority of God’s word].

Thank you for sharing this....i always need it! ) God....and only He....has given me a voice to sing for Him and a worshipping heart and spirit, and for many years ago He anointed me to worshipministry for Him during a meeting, through a pastor i didn't know....and after i just had finished one week of praying and fasting to get to know what He wanted to use me for.
But it has gone many years now, and i'm still on the preparingline in this matter, even if He has given me many anointed songs, because i used to like that people adored this GIFT, you know....as if the anointing or the gift was from ME!!!!
So, i've said to God that He must please wait to use me more....until i can give ALL the honor to Him and Jesus ALONE, and stop seeking me own honor! )
Ã…h, Abba Father, please equip us to always give You and Jesus ALL the honor in every situation of our lives, because we are just wessels, and wessels cannot and shall not receive any honor, but rather He whom made the wessel, right? Thank You for working with us, helping us to die more and more from ourselves day by day in every way, so that ONLY Jesus can be visible, in Jesus Holy and mighty Name, Amen!
