DO ALL IN HIS NAME

Colossians 3:17

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Kjv


After our analysis of "the way that seems right" yesterday, many people would be wondering, if this meant that such activities should be stopped. No, not at all. They are good activities and should multiply. But then, if they must be successful in God's view point, they must be done to advance the kingdom of heaven on earth to the glory of God. That's only when success is achieved. 


Whatever you do, do so in the name of Jesus. Doing something in Jesus' name means doing it in His authority, to give glory to His name. This is only achievable if you know Him, know His Word, follow Him, and put Him first even in that activity. Somehow, the good activities must seek to lead people to Jesus Christ, or seek to help the spread of the kingdom of God. 


Whether directly or indirectly, the agenda must be for the kingdom. Many charitable, humanitarian activities are not done in the name of Jesus. The people involved don't even know because they don't have the kingdom mindset. The devil can even sponsor such because all he wants is to distract people from the kingdom of God.


So if your activity is so good, but it isn't having the kingdom agenda, then it's fulfilling the devils will. Be wise. Seek the kingdom first, and all the activities will follow to fulfill the spread of the kingdom. Whatever you do, do so in the name of Jesus. That's the secret to success. And anything not done in the name of Jesus no matter how good it is, is not successful. May the Lord grant you understanding in Jesus name. Amen. 


If you're not born again, you can submit your life to Jesus right now. Say this prayer to God; "Dear Father, I thank you for your Son Jesus Christ, Who came to earth as a man to die for my sins. I know He rose for me and now sits at your right hand. I declare that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my Life. I receive eternal life into me. I receive your Spirit into me. Thank you Lord for salvation. In Jesus name I pray. Amen." Congratulations, you're born again.  Do well to reach us. Remain on the Word and in prayers. You're blessed. -TCF
