Matthew 7:8 - For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. The prodigal sons brother did something most Christians still do today blaming God for his ignorance of what rightfully belongs to him and for not enjoying them: Luke 15:29 - And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends. Todays Christian still tells God Father I have been winning souls. Lord I have been sowing seeds and giving sacrificially. I am a faithful worker in my church. I am a committed Christian that fast, pray, preach, praise you and etc. How come I am still like this? Gods answer to the prodigal sons brother remains evergreen! Luke 15:31 - Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine! For all your faithfulness and walk of faith, God has been crediting your account with houses, spouses, children, divine health, lands, prosperity, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, etc. In fact, your account with God is too full! Mark 10:30 - But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. Go ahead and start enjoying all these! They have always been there for you, your friends and loved ones! It is not Gods fault that you have refused to ask! For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened (Matthew 7:8). Final question from God: If I could not spare my own Son, but delivered him up for you all, how shall I not with him also freely give YOU all things? Romans 8:32. Lose Yourself In Him! John 3:30 - He must increase, but I must decrease. The best Christians Ive met in my life are those that have obeyed the John the Baptists principle as stated in the opening verse. They are the ones that increasingly decrease so that the Holy Ghost will increase in their lives! They are the ones whose steps are ordered of the Lord (Psalm 37:23).
If you ever desire the transcendent glory life in your walk with God, I highly recommend that you give the Holy Ghost the right of way in all your decisions and choices in life (no matter how little). Oh how sweet and glorious it is for us to just lose ourselves in Him! 1 Samuel 12:22 - For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people 1 Samuel 12:22 - For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people. The Israelites in the wilderness so provoked God that at a point, God was fed up and was about to destroy them. He promised Moses that He was going to wipe them off and create a new people for him to lead. It was not a threat. God was capable of doing that. One thing, however, made Him to change His sovereign mind. Moses reminded Him of His reputation, His brand Name. Exodus 32:12 - Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. Abraham gave out every single legitimate spoil of war He received in order to protect God's reputation because as the Monarch of the Universe, He does not require anybody's help. Genesis 14:23 - That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich. (ref: 3 John 1:7). Because of God's brand reputation, Jesus Christ met a faithful woman in a temple, without being asked or begged, He rebuked the temple priests and healed the woman simply because she was a daughter of Abraham! Be rest assured that if truly you are a son or daughter of God, an Abraham's seed, for His Name's sake (not because of your works or otherwise), help is on the way! Because He is a jealous God that cares about His sovereign reputation, nothing that belongs to Him can ever be put to shame!
All the sick, diseased and desperate people that called Jesus Lord (Master, Owner and Saviour) received their healings instantly because He could not be the Lord, Master or Owner of any sickness, disease or desperation! Moses reminded God about His reputation, you can do the same! Don't tell me that God does not change His mind, because He does when His beloved children are involved!
Keep your advice to yourself when you see me recklessly expressing my love for Jesus!
