January 25 of Arise with Christ
Be humble and pray
Thus sayeth the Lord, " I have come that you may have life and that abundantly."
Brethren, true fulfillment comes not by the multiple of things that you do
for God, but by what God does for you.
A worker of iniquity is a person who is lifted up with pride and self
righteousness and boasts of
his own religious accomplishments.
He has convinced himself that God owes him for his labors.
Like the pharisee who bragged of his religious accomplishments when he went
into the temple.
He worshiped, not God, but himself because he spent his time there praising,
not God, but himself.
In judgement, these workers of iniquity shall say, "Didn't we preach in Your
Name, and they will
make a list of what they thought they had done for God."
But God will say depart from Me for I never knew you.
Be humble and pray.
