These days most people come
to God with conditions. Conditions of
needs or wants-job, marriage, children, healing, money, etc.
The Bible does tell us if we ask God for
anything in faith it shall be done unto us.
However, after we get the need or want fulfilled-what happens next?
Of course we know that many
of Jesus’ listeners were touched by his words and came to have faith that moved
them to follow Jesus in the pursuit of the blessings of God’s Kingdom.
But do we really want God as our REWARD as God told Abraham in Genisis 15:1. Do you know that if God is our abundant
compensation, every dream, desire, need and wish will be exceedingly and
abundantly fulfilled.
When we have God in our hearts, we have access to everything!
Many Christians might not
verbally say it, but their lifestyle and actions boldly demonstrate that don’t
really desire God as a reward or heaven. Isaiah 66:2 says
that God will have regard for those “who
tremble at My word and reveres My
commands.”
Zephaniah 2:3(Amplified)says
“Seek the Lord [inquire for him, inquire of him, and require him as the
foremost necessity of your life]…..” This is a very powerful verse, because
after you get the job, car, marriage, children, healing, etc; how are you going
to maintain them safely and have your peace of mind if you don’t seek God from
your heart?
We are designed by God to
have and consistently receive special treatment- special attention, in fact
that’s the essence of Grace. However we have to make ourselves available
to receive it.
Be we willing to sacrifice it
all for God and worship him. And then
not only will God give you the desires of your heart, but you will receive
double portions. Psalms 34:9-11; tell us
that we should revere and worship God….inquire and require of the Lord. Verse 11 tells us that God will even teach
you to revere and worship. So what’s your excuse!
