Today‘s Inspiration: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 NIV. Christ is the the narrow gate which leads us to the Kingdom of God. Holiness is the growth of spiritual maturity. Sin, iniquities and transgressions are the hindrances to it. Spirituality is not about self improvement but God’s spiritual formation in us by the work of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 2:10. It’s a personal work of Christ.

Jesus taught,”I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”John 10:9-11 NIV. To find a narrow gate one has to be willing, intentional, and truthful on which path he or she is on. Because Jesus also mentioned the worldly wide gate leads to destruction. Don’t always follow the crowd but be discerning of the Holy Spirit because He is counsellor, help and director of our spirituality and future. God’s work in God’s ways will never lack God’s wisdom. Shalom!
Prayer: O Lord my God, lead me to your narrow gate and guide me with your wisdom daily. Let I not follow the world but follow Christ, thy Holy Spirit and Word. Let my ears not be clouded by the world but be cleared by the voice of God. Direct my eyes and my path in your righteousness and truth by faith, for you are my shepherd who opens it for my safety, wellness, and providence. My praise is always unto you, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
