The One Thing That Changes Everything!


JESUS DEMANDS ALL
And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. (Mark 10:7-22)


Pioneers are people with arrows in their backs.
I rather be criticised for what I do do, than live with shame because I neglected the one thing that was most important.
The rich young ruler was told to do one thing, that was sell all he had
He could not do this one thing.
As I heard a preacher say last week. We are like this rich young ruler who had kept and observed the commandments all his life. We too like him often focus on what we don't do. We don't smoke, we don't drink we don't sleep around. So we think that our good nothings will get us to heaven. However, Christianity is not what we "don't do" Christianity is about doing the one thing thing that matters most.

Many folks who don't do anything bad don't do anything good either!

This rich young ruler could have been one of the twelve is he had given up the one thing that was his. to get the one big thing that was God's.

There is one thing that God demands of you that he would demand of anyone else. No other apostle was asked to sell all. All had to be saved and baptized but this one man had to do one big thing that he alone had to master. That's where greatness lies. The one big thing in your life is either a one big downfall or can be your one big key to greatness in the kingdom

My question is therefore this. What one thing should you do to achieve a remarkable destiny in God that God demands only of you?
