The theme for Open Heaven Daily Devotional November 10 2023 is Salvation Is Personal”
Scripture: :”For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10
Our relationship with God is strictly on an individual basis, not collective. Your relationship with God is yours alone- between you and Him.
Therefore, the word ‘I’ is applicable in your relationship with God; it is ‘I’, not ‘we’. David said in Psalm 34:1, “1 will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth”.
Our relationship with God is personal. Salvation is an individual business. Let me make it clear: God has no grandchildren.
You are either a child of God or not. Our Bible reading for today says if your father is godly and you are ungodly, your father will live and you will die.
God has no grandchildren, only children; so if you have not yet given your life to Jesus and you think that because your parents are born again, then you will go to heaven, you are deceiving yourself (Ezekiel 18:20).
Furthermore, after you become horn again and get to heaven, the work you put into the Kingdom of God will also be tested individually by fire.
In Romans 14:12, the Bible says: “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God”. Every one shall give account of himself or herself to God.
When it comes to God assessing you, it is going to be an individual business. In 1 Corinthians 3:13, the
Bible says: “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is”:
Our works will be tried separately, not together. Remember that where we are going, there is no night there, so there is enough time.
The Pastor, General Overseer and everyone else will stand alone with nowhere to hide. Therefore, when someone is discouraging you from doing the work of God now,
remember that the fellow will not be there when your work is being tried. When you let someone else’s attitude affect your motives and zeal for God’s work,
don’t forget that you will not be able to blame that fellow on the last day because you will be standing alone in front of God to answer for your actions and inactions.
