Memorise: “For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother” (Matthew 12:50)

Read: Matthew 12:46-50

If you love God, when you come into His house and find the chairs dusty, you will look for a piece of cloth and wipe them clean, without necessarily blaming the ushers or sanitation people. As you take a stroll within the camp, and you see a piece of paper on the floor, you will pick it up because of love in your heart. It is wrong to litter God’s house as He expects you to keep it clean always. Do you have supreme love for the Master?

The spiritual family is superior to the earthly family. The Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated this one day, when while preaching, someone brought the news that His mother and brothers had come to seek His audience. He clearly told them, “For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother” (Matthew 12:50). He was not denying Mary and His blood brothers of their relationship, but was trying to establish the superiority of the spiritual over physical relationships. It is possible that, that was what contributed to the conversion of His family.

Very soon, the trumpet shall sound. The Lord will take all who are blood washed and living right to Heaven. The earth will face its worst moment of distress. For seven years, brothers will not know brothers. Families will turn against themselves as they face God’s wrath. Finally, during the Great White Throne Judgement, family members will be parted along two eternal destinies. All right living believers will unite with others in Heaven to form the heavenly family. If you love your earthly family, lead them all to Christ, before you are eternally separated!

One reason you have a means of livelihood is to afford you the resources with which to mobilize members of your extended family into God’s Kingdom. How well are you doing this?
