Luke 18:17 NKJV

Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”

Luke 18:17 NKJV

This is a powerful truth that Jesus revealed to His disciples who wanted to stop the children from disturbing Jesus. Jesus said that whoever does not RECEIVE the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.

For anyone who wants to enter the kingdom of God or want to know how to be saved needs to pay attention to what Christ is saying.

The way people get saved and enter the kingdom of God is by RECEIVING. A child has no capacity to earn anything for themselves, a child has nothing to prove to gain anything but just RECEIVE from their parents.

This is another blow to the religious leaders because for them it is all about earning the rights to sit in high places and proving their worth in their community.

Today many feel they have earned the anointing, the gifts of miracles, signs and wonders because they have fasted and prayed for long hours.

Even though fasting and praying helps us to get our body and mind to be in alignment with God the Holy Spirit yet it cannot earn anything from God.

No one on earth is qualified to earn their way to be saved or attain the gift of God. It is called a gift because it only can be RECEIVED.

Therefore, to come to God with an attitude or a posture as a child ready to receive from the Father is the way we enter the kingdom of God.

Once we have entered, it means we have received everything the Father had prepared for us. Therefore, we can start living the fullness of life through Christ our Lord.

There is no avenue for any man or woman to boast about self but our boast would be what Christ HAS DONE for us.

Let us continue to live in thanksgiving for all that Christ has established in us as His own children.

Live in the blessings,

Ps Ambrose
