Of course you can't even set foot on the grounds of the "Family Business" unless you enter by the Narrow Gate! (Matthew 7:13)

You must confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. For all who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. (Romans 10:9-10, 13)

There is no other name given under Heaven whereby men will be saved than the name of Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords! (Acts 4:12)

Christ alone is the Narrow Gate! (Matthew 7:13)

I've saved the very best room for last; it is the Executive Lounge!! This is the most thrilling, over the top blessing you will ever know and it is given to every believer who is working for the Family Business! To those of you familiar with the 'Open Door' policy in some major corporations well this trumps "Open Door'!

Here is how the Executive Lounge works;
1. You can meet one on one with the Head of the business Jesus Christ, CEO anytime day or night, no restrictions; He has removed all of the barriers that separated you from Him! (Hebrews 10:19-23)
2. The door is always open, no appointment necessary, no one to schedule through, not even a waiting room, for no earnest seeker ever has to wait, He will drop everything to meet with you! (Jeremiah 29:12-13)
3. You will have His full complete attention because His love for you personally is beyond our ability to comprehend! (Isaiah 55:8-9)
4. You are always welcome and you may stay as long as you like. He will greet you with arms open wide as He holds you so close that you can actually hear the beat of His heart!
5. Never, ever forget it cost Him His very life to bring you into the "Family" (John 10:11)
6. Lay your petitions before Him, give Him thanks for all He has done, worship Him for He alone is worthy of all praise, glory and honor! (Revelation 4:11)
7. When you have finished don't leave! Now is the time for you to listen to Him. Listen as He listened; intentionally with all focus on the one speaking. (Ecclesiastes 5:1)

No one ever leaves the Executive Lounge the same as they entered. For to be in His presence is to be filled with peace and over-flowing with joy! (Psalm 16:11)

Whatever else you accomplish in your day, spend quality time with your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, make Him your first priority every day. (Matthew 6:33) (Psalm 5:3)

Use all the talents and gifts that were freely given to you. Use them for kingdom work in the "Family Business". The gifts were not given to be hoarded by us, we are to use them to help and encourage others, we are to use them to bring glory to God, they are His gifts of grace to us to benefit others. (Romans 12:6) Faithfully administer His grace to you, for that is being a vessel for noble use. (2 Timothy 2:21)
