No Neutral Ground

In this life, there is no place called "in between". It's either you "you die as a hero or you live long enough to become the villain." You cannot fight for both sides. You cannot have both sides of the coin. It's either you are in HIS story or you're history. I know you felt it. Maybe you're asking, "what's with the words matt?". To be honest, I'm in a war. Everyday.. and guess what.. SO ARE YOU. In a war, there is no surrender. We win or we die trying. Losing is just a stepping stone. In a war, you begin to die when you fail to prepare. fail to anticipate. fail to expect. Even Jesus said it Himself, 

Luke 11:23 
(New International Version)
"He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters."

Which side are you? I'm asking this coz maybe you are telling God you are His but the flesh is fighting against your decision. Do not worry, for in times like this, we "stand still" because He said "I will fight for you" (Exodus 14:14). We stand firm, like the wise builder. We rely on God's Grace. He never fails to come through. We make efforts to be rooted on His Word and on His Word only. We submit to God not just because there are things that we can't do but because HE is Lord. We don't make God as an option or a plan B. There is no plan B! There is only God's plan and other plans would be nothing. Dead. In our daily lives, we face small decisions and most of the times we forget that these decisions will either result to bigger problems/opportunities/trials/breakthroughs etc. Like these decisions, we choose what decision will honor God and remove us from the picture. Yes. A decision that is not about us. Ironic? It is. You might think that there is "free will" and yes there is but we also pray that "Let YOUR WILL BE DONE". Choose. Your Will or God's Will? Choosing "your will" should not be an option. Trash it. If you claim and know that you live for God then..

Matthew 22:21
(New International Version)
"Caesar's," they replied.
Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."

Give what is due to God. The difference between taxes and our worship offering to God is that we are not paying God. We can never pay God (that's why Jesus came!).If we are living for Him then might as well die for Him. Give Him the start and the end. God does NOT need what we will give Him (coz He is the one who allowed us to give). God is God without Man but Man without God is nothing. Be a Man of God or be nothing. 

Revelation 3:16 (New International Version)

16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

Given that we are in a war. Might as well fight. If we choose to fight, then might as well fight for what is right. Fight for the One who is worth fighting for. Again, there is no neutral ground. Fight for God. Period.
