Worthy?

Matt.22:¹³ Then the king said to his aides, ‘Bind his hands and feet and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ ¹⁴ “For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Please read Matthew 22. If you are like me, you would agree that the king’s sentence is rather harsh, right? When I read this, I wrestled with it. What has he done to deserve being cast into outer darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth? And then it occurred to me that being called is a function of favour but being chosen is a function of being worthy. Many are called but few are chosen. I pray that you will be part of the chosen and that you will be worthy in Jesus Name.

It is not enough to be called. Are you worthy? When you are worthy, the things of God will prosper in your hands. When you are worthy, you are able to lay hold of your destiny. When you are worthy, you are the pride and joy of your Father. Elisha was worthy. He served Elijah and he got the mantle of Elijah. When he came to Jordan [a difficult place], he smote Jordan calling on the Lord God of Elijah and Jordan parted. Elisha was worthy. Gehazi served Elisha. Elisha had double of what Elijah had and this was the mantle he gave Gehazi but the mantle did not work in Gehazi’s hands. When Gehazi called on the Lord God of Elisha, nothing happened because Gehazi was not worthy. There was nothing wrong with the mantle; there was everything wrong with the person. The problem is worthiness!

God wants you to be worthy. Are you worthy of your desired next level? I pray that you will be worthy and that you will pay the price for it, in Jesus Name.

Ladies, before you marry that man, ask yourself one question – is he worthy? To help you, I suggest you stand in front of the mirror and take a good look at yourself from head to toe. Then ask yourself, is this man worthy of this package? If he is not worthy, do not marry him. If you do, it would be like casting your pearls before swine. Remember that you are going to submit to that man for the rest of your life. He is going to call the shots for the rest of your lives together. So you better make sure that he is worthy before you say yes.  The same thing goes for the men; you better make sure that lady is worthy of the vision you are carrying. It is so important.

Prayer: Father, I pray that when You check, I will be found worthy, in Jesus Name. Amen
