Thought For The Day

THE LORD ASKS US TO SEEK HIM, DRAW NIGH UNTO HIM, AND HE WOULD DRAW NIGH TO US!

IT SEEMS IN TO MANY PEOPLES LIVE’S, THE LORD IS THE SECOND THING THEY SEEK, AFTER SEEKING UNTO A MAN OR AN ORGANIZATION. THAT IS NOT WHAT THE LORD ASK’S OF US.

HIS DESIRE IS WE SERVE HIM AND HIM ALONE, AND NOT LOOK TO MAN. YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE WORD SAYS YOU NEED NOT THAT A MAN SHOULD TEACH YOU, BUT THE HOLY GHOST WILL TEACH YOU. HIS PROMISE WAS HE WOULD SEND THE COMFORTER, EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, AND HE WOULD GUIDE YOU INTO ALL THE TRUTH.

IF WE SEEK HIM AND HIM ALONE, WE CAN NEVER BE LED ASTRAY BY OTHERS. WHY SHOULD WE SEEK MEN, WHEN WE CAN SEEK GOD? IF EVERY MAN SEEKS THE LORD, OBEYS HIS INSTRUCTIONS, AND SERVES OTHERS ACCORDING TO HIS INSTRUCTIONS TO US, THEN WE WILL NOT GO ASTRAY OR BE DECEIVED BY THOSE WHO SEEK POWER, MONEY, HONOR AND FOLLOWERS TO PROMOTE THEIR OWN AGENDA.

HE WILL NOT FAIL US AND CANNOT LIE. HE SAID WHEN I TELL YOU TO SEEK ME, IT IS NOT IN VAIN. I WILL BE FOUND OF THOSE THAT SEEK ME. DRAW NIGH UNTO ME, AND I WILL DRAW NIGH UNTO YOU.

SO BRETHREN TO WHOM SHOULD WE GO? A PREACHER, A GROUP, A SOOTHSAYER, SOMEONE ELSE TO SEEK GOD FOR US, OR SHOULD BE GO TO HIM WHO CALLS AND JUSTIFIES US? HE CALLS US ALONE, EVEN AS HE CALLED FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. HE TRUSTED AND SOUGHT THE LORD, AND THAT WAS ACCOUNTED UNTO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS!

THE FLESH DESIRES APPROVAL OF MAN AND THAT IS A DOWNFALL FOR US WHEN WE FOLLOW IT. LEAN NOT UNTO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING, IS HIS INSTRUCTIONS TO US. SO WE NEED TO LAY ASIDE THE NEED OF OTHERS APPROVAL OR PROTECTION, AND GO DIRECTLY TO HIM. IN CHRIST, YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN EVERY NEED, WORTHINESS AND EVERY QUALIFICATION TO COME UNTO GOD.

LET US DRAW NEAR UNTO HIM, WITH A HEART FULL OF ASSURANCE OF FAITH. FOR IN HIM DWELLED RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS, WISDOM AND ETERNAL LIFE. IN HIM!! NOT IN MAN OR HIS GROUP, BUT, IN HIM AND HIM ALONE.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH THE JOY AND PEACE OF BELIEVING?
