‘Well Done’

So why is it so vitally important that you learn how
to release the power of the Holy Spirit in your life to
walk in God’s perfect will? Because just as sure as you
breathe, at the appointed moment in God’s time scale
that all creation has longed for, Jesus will split the
eastern sky at the sound of a great trumpet.

On that day, when you behold Jesus face to face,
what will He say to you? Will you be able to stand there
knowing that you chose to believe in God enough to
abandon your life to Him while it still made a difference?
If so, you will hear the words, “You did a job well
done, My good and faithful servant.”

I’m trying to help you understand the value of the
Lamb’s reward for fulfilling your call. On the day you
stand before the Master, you will trade everything you
possess for just one nod of approval, one look from His
eyes, that says, “Well done.” You will trade it all to
know that He knows the hell you went through to give
your whole life to your call; He sees the multitudes you
took home to Heaven with you. Nothing can replace
that reward.

Someone may say, “But I don’t have time to pray.”
Of course, you don’t, because you’ve never taken your
Holy Ghost “calculator” and calculated what your lack
of prayer has cost your character and your life. If you
ever did, you’d say instead, “I don’t have time not to
pray!”

Whatever you are not doing, you are not doing it
because you don’t want to. If you aren’t praying as you
should, the reason is simple: you don’t want to.

“Well, I have a career. I don’t have time to pray that
much.” But you are in that situation because it is what
you chose.

“Can I have a career and a strong prayer life as
well?” You don’t know what a career is until you
release the Holy Spirit to help you fulfill it by His
power.

You have a call. No one else has it. God would have
to arrange something else for the Body of Christ if you
failed to find and fulfill what God has called you to do.

But you can find your divine call. You’re still on this
earth; you’re still breathing. You still have the opportunity
to release the Holy Spirit in prayer to help you
find and fulfill God’s perfect will for your life. Are you
going to let your lazy flesh cheat you out of hearing
those words, “Well done”? I don’t think so!
