God Wants All In 2


For years we have told God we didn't want Him in our schools. We didn't want Him in our government and we didn't want Him in our finances and God was being a perfect gentleman in doing just what we asked Him to do. We need to make up our mind — do we want God or do we not want Him. We cannot just ask Him in when disaster strikes. (Anne Graham Lotz)

Last week, I talked about how fully God wants to be involved in our personal lives; He wants all in. He wants to be LORD and part of our lives just like a best friend (not that He isn’t Lord and part of our lives but He wants us to acknowledge it too).

Now, if God wants to be part and parcel of our lives, each and every one of us, then we can equally say that He wants to be LORD and part of our organizations, human societies and all human structures. 

God wants to be Lord and part of the local and global economy, the educational sector, the business, entertainment and travel sector and every other sector that exists. He created the entire universe and put it under man’s dominion.

However, man deviated from God’s original plan and although Christ came to make a way for us through salvation, man still fails to acknowledge His Lordship and partnership (with the Holy Spirit).

More so, God has given each and every one us freewill; the power to decide (Deuteronomy 30:19). He desires for us to come back to Him in making the best decision in every area of our lives and our community. God instituted authority and expects those in authority to acknowledge Him as Lord and friend/partner. And even those under authority to honor their rulers and obey Him.

In all these, God wants all in! In government with God being the head, nothing can go wrong (Proverbs 29:2, Isaiah 32:1-8). Wherever He is, the devil flees and everything submits and goes in the right direction. Therefore, I encourage you to make Him Lord and friend; a senior partner. 

Make Him Lord over your life, career, relationships, government/leadership, and society and in all you… With Him, nothing can ever go wrong.

When God Seems Distant

Image
           Some days, you feel like you're the one doing all the talking. It's like you woke up and the lights just went off. Its like God's gone on vacation!      I've felt like that too and it can really be frustrating. But while reading The Purpose Driven Life, a powerful book by Rick Warren, I got to see that this is actually a very important phase in our lives.      Just like Job's experience in the Bible, God seemed distant and didn't speak until 38 chapters later. But God never abandoned him nor left him to die of his sufferings. And despite all that Job went through, he never gave up on God.      This time is usually a period of testing to see just how much you can hold on to God when He keeps silent in your life. He really wants to show the accuser just how faithful a child He has that won't give up no matter what.

How Much Does Jesus Love You?

Image
We are humans and we know that we are limited in our abilities so we make provisions for such. We can call it the ‘human factor’ or ‘human error’ or whatever we want to call it. When it comes to the subject of love, we tend to also limit ourselves and also place people in our lives on different scales. One will hear questions such as ‘How much do you love me?’ or ‘If you love me then prove it!’ or ‘Do you even love me anymore?’ or ‘I’m sorry. Please don’t leave me.’ I had this mentality too. I could go the extra mile for only a very few set of people who I felt were worth it. I didn't believe that a girl like me could ever be truly and fully loved. This isn't an easy thing to carry along with you into Christianity where you’re told and you read it in your Bible and you’re expected to believe in an all-loving God who will never leave you nor forsake you… in a God who will always show up and will always forgive no matter what… in an everyday kind of lov...

While We're Waiting

James 5:7-8  “Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.  You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”     Time after time, school goes on a really long break and I have to travel back home. I end up staying at for months and I'm always complaining of the same old thing that plagues most of us: BOREDOM!       I have nothing to do for fun, hardly any friends around and there's always a chore to do which all bores me to tears.      However, someone said something in a Church Class that caught my attention. He said "We're bored because we don't want to think and work. We can't complain of boredom when we're busy".
