And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died. Acts 12:23
What if this happened to us in this day and age? Today is easter and is the Day that Jesus rose from the dead, so it is a holy day, one we should give God the Glory. But what if we didn't give God the glory and we were eaten by worms. I mention it again to let it sink in. Do you think people would fall and worship if they knew that if they didn't, they would be eaten by worms? Yes, but that is not what God wants someone to worship because God might kill them.
Then why do you give a message in this. To tell you the dangers if you do not give God the Glory. It talks about being hot or lukewarm for God in revelations. I have talked about this before God vomiting you out of his mouth. God wants us on fire for him and on this holy day, he deserves all we have to give Him. I will be bold and say that there are fewer and fewer true Christians today. What I mean by true Christian is one who follows what the bible says and calls sin sin (meaning doesn't except the sin being committed). I could write a whole message just on that topic but that is not my message today. It is about dangers if you do not give all that is God's to God this Easter Sunday.
So, as you go about your day today worship God with all your heart, mind and soul. and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ Mark 12:30
I leave with this one statement:
Worship like only your father in heaven is watching and let everything else go!!!
