Do you really want your service to be accepted before God?

Do you really want your service to be accepted before God?
Do you want your dance, your donations to God's work, your workforce service, your evangelism, your ministry; to be acceptable before God?

See this.
Heb 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us HAVE GRACE, whereby we may serve God ACCEPTABLY with reverence and godly fear

Please note the following about that text:
1) It didn't say, "Let us have LAWS to serve God acceptably".
You don't please God by observance of LAWS. Rom 3:20 "by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight". Don't expect laws from here. The man that Jesus told "keep the commandments...and thou wilt enter into life" (Matt 19:17), confessed it's not working.
Mat 19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what LACK I yet?

2) It didn't say "let us have 7 keys to serve God acceptably". No keys but one.

3) It didn't say "Let us have grace and then after we have secured grace, we should be trying our best to be serving God in the acceptable way, we should still be fearing Him o". No! No! No! Because grace through faith will not produce God's pleasure; Grace is God's pleasure.

It's saying Grace is that whereby we serve God acceptably. Having Grace is serving God ACCEPTABLY.

Let us have grace, WHEREBY we may serve God ACCEPTABLY with reverence and godly fear

You think grace ALONE is insufficient? Why then did Jesus say
My grace is SUFFICIENT for thee (2Cor 12:9). If it were not enough, Jesus will not have said it. Why was God pleased with Noah in his generation? "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD" (Gen 6:8).

Serve God with all strength; give with a pure mind; don't be like the Pharisees; don't keep grudges; forgive others as you approach prayer; keep a good conscience void of offence; follow peace with all men: but... HAVE GRACE. That is the way to SERVE ACCEPTABLY.

People think when Bible says:
Heb 11:6 "without faith it is impossible to please him", it means, you must have, number 1 - faith; number two - this and that… then you'll please… But No: It's saying FAITH ALONE pleases God. Gather everything, without faith, God is not pleased. Faith is not first, faith is ALL. Because if you read that passage well, it said earlier,
Heb 11:2 …by it [faith] the elders obtained a good report.

"by IT", not "by them". Just by faith, the elders got a recommendation because God was pleased with them.

And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah FOUND GRACE in the eyes of the LORD. (Genesis 6:7-8). Oh! Most other versions substituted the word "found grace" for "pleased". Looks like this:
(GNB) But the LORD was pleased with Noah.
(GW) But the LORD was pleased with Noah.
(CEV) But the LORD was pleased with Noah

Grace does not lead to pleasing God: Grace is God's pleasure. let us HAVE GRACE, whereby we may serve God ACCEPTABLY with reverence and godly fear
Do you have this grace?

PLEASE DON'T MISS HEAVEN FOR "STUPID" REASONS

PLEASE DON'T MISS HEAVEN FOR "STUPID" REASONS

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. [Hos 4:6]

Time will reveal this to you, that every reason any man will miss heaven/rapture is a stupid one.

Salvation is already DONE: it is called "FINISHED WORK". Man is not called to DO salvation: he is only called to FREELY RECEIVE and ENJOY what someone else has worked for. Yet some men will stay far from salvation for stupid reasons.

Please hear this and hear well: God requires NOTHING from the sinner to get him SALVATION
not holiness,
not righteousness,
not purification,
not even faith; otherwise man will boast.

You simply receive yours and in what you receive, you will find sanctification; you will find righteousness; you will find faith: will you just draw near and receive?

*[[1Cor 1:30]] KJV* But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption

No reason for missing something that's so free as this!

I'm praying for you that these things that are written here, you will see it and truly understand.

That you are a drunkard is not enough reason to go to hell!
That you are confined to a religious environ that opposes faith of Christ does not mean you should go to hell!
That you "like women" is not enough reason to go to hell: there are men who "like women" in heaven today and there are men who "like women" in hell too. David was a "lover of women" that even in his old age on his dying bed, a young girl was still fetched for the 'baba'. Don't follow the Samson's style with women, but today the same Samson is among the cloud of witnesses that has encompassed us. Samson is of the triumphant SAINTS today because "who is he that overcometh the world? but he that BELIEVES...". (1John 5:5)

In the same way, "I'm a prostitute; that's how I earn a living; I've slept with countless number of men" does not mean you should go to hell. There are prostitutes in heaven already.Join them. Hell is not your place. Ask Rahab how she made it and escaped being punished for her sins. She will tell you: BY FAITH the harlot Rahab perished not with THEM THAT BELIEVED NOT, WHEN SHE HAD RECEIVED...[Heb 11:31]

Which other stupid reason again? Men that have lied have entered heaven today. It's really wrong to lie, but don't stay away from salvation because you are a liar: for the liar's sake Christ died. You need to understand that we who are in the kingdom are not there because we are perfect, but it is God who justifies everyone who believes. Stay with us and have your sin nature dealt with.

What about murderers, abortionists etc? if they will confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus and BELIEVE in their HEART (not lips) that God has heavily dealt with the same Jesus for their sins, and that Jesus is alive again having fully paid for sins; verily, they shall not miss rapture because they are saved.

Who is Your Saviour?

Your Saviour is anyone you have entrusted your eternal destiny and destination unto.

That is, the question of "where will you spend your eternity?" is a function of whom your Saviour is, how powerful he is, and what his terms and conditions are. He is called a SAVIOUR: HE (not you) is expected to save. You are called the "saved", you're expected to be saved. You are expected to LEAN on him; count on him to do the saving for you.
Therefore the question again: WHO IS YOUR SAVIOUR?

Before you answer that, I'll want you to know the answer to that is more of deeds and belief system than words. You'll understand what I mean now.

There are men today who have made Moses their saviour. Be not surprised to hear this.

*[[Joh 5:45]] KJV* Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even MOSES, IN WHOM YE TRUST [as your saviour]

*[[Joh 9:28-29]] KJV* Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his [Jesus] disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.  We know that God spake unto Moses [we believe in Moses]: as for this fellow [Jesus], we know not from whence he is.

If you also have trusted that Moses' law will justify you on the judgement day, that you will keep the commandments of Moses and hope to make heaven by it, then Moses had been your saviour hitherto. If you have no trust in the righteousness of Jesus but count on your own righteousness, Jesus isn't your saviour; it's Moses. What a pity the same Moses will accuse you because the law justifies no one. What you can have by that is what looks like "temporal salvation" because you'll break the terms and thus "lose the salvation".

But the believer is one who has entrusted ALL HIS ENTIRETY to Christ Jesus.

*[[Eph 1:12-13]] KJV* That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first TRUSTED IN CHRIST. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

His righteousness, his sanctification (1Cor1:30), his reason and access and right to sit in the heavenly places (Eph 2:18, 3:12) and in fact, his praise is Christ. (Heb 13:15). That is the Christian!

Jesus will account for every soul that have trusted in Him for their eternal destiny as a faithful steward because it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful. He won't fail. He has this to say:

John 10:27-29 KJV
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [28] And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

So,  may I ask you again. Who is your saviour?
