DAY 44 - Who Are Those Not Wearing The Wedding Clothes





Today’s Reading: Matthew 23

(Please read Matthew 23: 1 – 39 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method please read my “Count Down 5” from this blog. You may click this link directly for the method: Subject Shifting Devotion.pdf . (You may begin with a song to praise the Lord and complete you devotion by singing another praise song.)

“But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.” Matthew 23:3

Whenever I read Matthew 22: 11 about the one who was not wearing wedding clothes, I was always wondering who Jesus was talking about. Today Jesus told me so plainly that they are those He mentioned in Matthew 23: Talk the talk but not walk the walk.

Those who do things for other people to see(v.5), do not know how to humble themselves(v. 12), influencing other people not entering into the kingdom of heaven(v. 13), who are blind and can’t see those things the Lord wants them to see(v. 16-24), whose inside are full of greed, self-indulgence, unclean, hypocrisy and wickedness(v. 25-28), who flog, stone, kill and murder the prophets(v. 31-36). Is that you? Well, if that is you, I don’t think you know! Maybe it’s time for you to kneel down and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you if that is you?!

"Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is near!" Matthew 3:2, 4: 17


Dear Lord Jesus,

Please help me to reveal my sins that I am able to wear the wedding clothes. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
