FAMOUS

FAMOUS / 1/17/14

I’ve always been told WHAT you spend your money on, is what you LOVE, And what you LOVE, you make important, and if it’s important enough you do everything to make it matter to others, which is pretty much making it or a person FAMOUS.  This leads me to my WORD from the WORD.  FAMOUS.

“Come,let’s build ourselves a city and a tower that reaches Heaven.  Let’s make ourselves FAMOUS so we won’t be scattered here and there across the Earth.”  Genesis 11:4 and also “Knowing the correct password – saying “Master, Master” for instance – isn’t going to get you anywhere with me.  What is required is serious obedience – DOING what my Father wills.  I can see it now at the Final Judgement thousands strutting up to me and saying “Master we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God sponsored projects had everyone talking. And do you know what I am going to say?  You missed the boat.  All you did was use me to make yourselves FAMOUS!  You don’t impress me one bit.  You’re out of here.”  Matthew 7:21-23.

God’s WORD says, if you are FAMOUS because you use my name and yet you are NOT doing my will, then you will not inherit His Kingdom.  The key is DOING God’s will, not YOUR will.  The solution is to spend all your time, energy and resources in this life making GOD FAMOUS and no one else.

This week I have pondered about what FAMOUS means.  How does one become famous into today’s world?  And as I thought of all the ways, through technology, a special talent, even a dangerous and stupid public act can get overnight FAME.  No matter what I came up with, there was still ONE thread that made each person who is FAMOUS similar….they ALL eventually DIE.  They may get hung on a wall, or put in a History book, but eventually, all the talk about them withers away as more and more people become FAMOUS in the eyes of the world, every second of every day.  BUT there is ONE whose FAME remains the same, who created all people who are FAMOUS.  And GOD has been, and will forever be FAMOUS whether you decide to spend your time making Him FAMOUS or not.  He will never die, and his WORD will never die, because “In the Beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.”  John 1:1  His FAME will always be. 

There’s really nothing else to say.
