Morning with Ebenezer

COME TO JESUS

But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.  And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner, saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.’  But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you

Matthew 20:10-14 NKJV

For the kingdom of heaven is like the land landowner who went out early one morning to hire workers for his vineyard. He agreed to pay the normal daily wage and sent them out to work. At nine o'clock he went out and hired some people and promised to pay them whatever was right at the end of the day. At noon and again at three o'clock he did the same thing. 

At five o'clock that afternoon he was in town again and saw some people standing around. He asked them, 'Why haven't you been working today?'  They replied, ' Because no one hired us.' '' The land owners told them, ‘Then go out and join the others in my vineyard.' So when the evening had come, he paid those who were hired about eleventh hour, they each received a denarius. But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius. 

When they received it, they complained against the landowner, saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day. But he answered one of them and said,' Friend, I am doing no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. (Matthew 20:1-16)

This morning, God wants you to come to Him today that you may receive your reward at the end of this world. Maybe you have been a Christian since your childhood; you walked in righteousness and stay away from every kind of evil. That had made you to be judge for those who are still struggling in their sins. You may think you will receive more even if they will repent later because you have been with the Lord from the beginning.

My Bible teaches me that you will receive the same as them; but the advantage for you is that you will not face all the troubles, fears and struggles of living without the Lord. Those who will repent in their death beds or even in their last minutes; they will inherit the kingdom of heaven just like you but they will not enjoy the peace of having the Lord in this life as you did.

Come to Jesus today, this is an hour and time you need to come to the Lord with all of your heart. Don't continue waiting for the last minute, or when you reach a certain age. Salvation is for today because tomorrow is never promised for anyone!

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....
 
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word. My life is before your hands Ooh Lord; use me as You will for your own glory. I submit everything under your care; may You be the Lord of everything in me. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
