God places you in circumstances to strengthen your faith.
In the book of 1 kings 17, God told Elijah to go to a widow in the Land of Zarephath, and God commanded that the woman would provide for Elijah.

But when Elijah got there and asked the widow, the widow did not have enough, she only had a little bit of oil and dough left to feed herself and her son for a day and die afterwards. ( 1 kings 17:12)

But God sent Elijah there. God sent Elijah somewhere which didn’t seem to line up with what He had promised.
Yes Elijah got to the widow,but the widow didn’t have the provision.
Because It was God who was going to provide. Not the widow. When God sends us to go somewhere or go and do something, or go to someone to get something, the provision is not in the place, or person, or anything, the provision is in God.

If Elijah got to the widow and the widow was rich and could feed Elijah, then that would not even build Elijah’s faith.God wanted Elijah to see right before His own eyes, that I will provide for you, not man, its through me that you will get what I have promised you not man.

Sometimes God puts us in situations to stir our faith. He won’t put you in a place where there is abundance. He puts you in a situation where there is lack , so you can exercise the faith He has given you to bring abundance where you are.

How would our faith grow if we knew how everything was going to happen. Elijah could have sat down and said” but God you said the woman will provide, but she doesn’t have enough”. But Elijah had faith in God and the words God spoke to Him , so He spoke according to His faith. He didnt need to go back to God and ask again, because God had already said it.

Hebrews 11:1 faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Elijah’s faith was strengthened because He spoke the very word that God had given Him concerning His provision and there was provision.

Isaiah 55:11
so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Sometimes we may find ourselves in places God told us to go, people God told us will help us. But we have to realise that the provision is not in the place or the person, our provision is in God. The place is where God has chosen to manifest His provision, the people are vessels God has chosen to use. But God Himself is the one who will make it happen.

Speak the word that God has given you concerning your situation. It may not look like what God has promised right now, but as you speak with faith and move with faith It will happen. Have faith!! Din’t give up !!!

Numbers 23:19
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

God will reward You in His time… Wait

image

In the book of Esther 2:21
Mordecai saved King Ahasuerus life, by reporting to Esther to inform the king that two of the King’s Enuchs were plotting to kill him.
But the king did not thank Mordecai for what He had done. The king did not reward Mordecai. But God saw what Mordecai had done. God saw that Mordecai had not be rewarded for been a good man. God saw and did not forget about Mordecai but it seemed like the King had forgotten. But as long as God has seen that is enough. You don’t need man to recognise you, even if they don’t recognise you, you should not worry. Because God Himself has seen you and will reward you for your good works. And when God rewards you , you will not forget. You will know that God has His eyes on you and His word does not return to Him void.

Man may not recognize you because they forgot , or sometimes it could even be intentional. But it doesn’t matter because God sees and knows.
Matthew 10:30 ; God knows how many hairs you have on your head.

But straight after Mordecai’s good works, somebody else had been rewarded; Haman. Haman was promoted and was given alot of authority.

We didnt see Mordecai been rewarded straightaway. And that makes me understand that sometimes, after you have done a good deed, or you have helped others or you have been there for others and have been selfless. Nobody recognizes you, its as if they did not see you do it at all. Its as if what you did was invisible to man. But just know that it wasnt invisible to God. And God will bless you for obeying His word and the good you are doing. Don’t be shocked if you don’t recieve the reward straightaway, don’t be aggregaited, don’t be furious. Just give thanks to God, you have not been forgotten. Because there will be a time where you will enjoy the fruits of your goodness.

Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

You are not rewarded now because God has a set time for everything. You are not rewarded now, because God is planing How He can reward you greatly. You are not rewarded now because the time is not yet.
After you sit an exam, there is a period of waiting for the examiners to mark your work, and a period where they will tally your marks and release your results. The results of all your hard work, is not released on the same day in any major exams. But because you know you studied , you believe and expect to do well.
God reminded the King at the appointed time to bless Mordecai. In Esther 6:1,
The King could not sleep. What would make the king sleepless, after sleeping well many nights of not rewarding Mordecai. That day the King Recognized Mordecai. When God is ready to release your reward, it doesn’t matter what the situation is Your blessings will arrive.

The King may not have heared God say reward Mordecai now, but God orchestrated Mordecai’s blessings to be released at a time where a grave was been dug for Him.
God knew when the right time was to reward Mordecai. And God knows the set time to reward you.
And at the appointed time, Mordecai was rewarded. And Mordecai was rewarded greatly.

So be patient for God to reward you. Don’t rush to hear congratulations from man. Just Know that You have Abba Father who sees everything you do , and He will reward you in His time.

Dysfunction springs from Disobedience

When man chooses to turn away from God, everything is affected.

When a people choose to turn away from God, everything around becomes dysfunctional.

Because God is the one who created the heavens and the earth. He is the one who created every living thing. He is the one who gives life. He is the one who brings peace.

Now if a people are walking away from God, God’s wrath comes over those people.
But before His wrath, He gives us a chance to change. A chance to surrender and turn from our ways.
God is so good He tells us the consequences of our sin. The wages of sin is death( Romans 6:23)  Sometimes its not a physical death, but a destruction of your soul.
But eventually we will all die oneday and when we have obeyed God and have a relationship with Him, our physical body dies but our soul will be with Him. But those who turn away from Him on this earth and don’t repent are like dead men walking.

Our obedience does not only affect us, but things around us. When we are blessed by God, whatever is around us becomes blessed also.

When you read the book of Joel 1
:10- 12

You come to understand that even the grain is ruined, new wine is dried up and oils fail, all because of a nation turning away from God.

Even the harvest in the field perished , the trees that are meant to bare fruit are even withered.

Joel 1:16 Is not the food cut of before your eyes, Joy and gladness from the house of God?

18 How the animals groan ! The herds of cattle are restless because they have no pasture ; even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment.
So when you see so much trouble going on in the world. It comes down to man turning their face from God. Not acknowledging Him and serving other idols. Walking into complete destruction and not having any reverence for Almighty God. Just thinking that there will be food , there will be water , without thanking the one who makes the plants germinate and produce fruits and the created rain.

Man has given honour to things that don’t deserve the honour. Man has given honour to Himself for the wisdom of God and God’s creation. They don’t think of the fact that their very existence is a result of Almighty God. God has given man dominion over the earth and man uses that dominion carelessly. God’s freewill which expresses His love for us and our ability to choose life we’ve turned into choosing things that will destroy us.

Glory be to God

Do things God’s way and He will get the glory

Do things God’s way and He will get the glory

The glory has to belong to God not man. And when the glory belongs to God man will not get you there, God himself will.He may use man, but the glory does not belong to man. The glory belongs to God.

When things are done man’s way it doesnt last, there’s a price, there is a formula. But when things are done God’s way there is no formula. Words cannot explain how He did it. Because His ways are far above our ways ( Isaiah 55:8) and the thoughts of God is no where near what our minds can comprehend
When things are done God’s way, God will get the glory and His word will not return to Him void. But when we do things and make decisions according to the world God is not getting the glory. We want God to come through but we don’t want to do things His way.

We want a man who is committed and has a true heart for God but we keep eyes on the cute guy who lusts after the flesh.
We pray for God to use us but we get impatient when we sit at His feet and havn’t heard Him yet.
If we truly wants God’s way then it doesn’t matter when or where or how. We won’t be choosy because we want His way.
When you ask someone to direct you somewhere. And they tell you the direction, will you reply back saying ” actually I won’t take that route? Did you not ask them so you can be directed?

God deserves all the glory out of our situations. But are we truly given Him glory on decisions we did not involve Him? Decisions that don’t please Him?
God got the glory of David becoming King. When David was in hiding, He asked God where to go, and God directed Him and He was safe. When David was in hiding from Saul He asked God who to fight and God delivered His enemies into His hands.( 1 samuel 23:2)

When David could have killed Saul on two attempts, He did not do it.His army told Him to do it, but He did not. (1 samuel 24, 26)  They were not going to get the glory for who God Himself has ordained David to be. David obeyed God so God got the glory.

Finally when Sauls servant rejected Saul’s son Isbotheth and decided to do everything to make sure David gets the throne, He was killed. He was not going to get the glory for who God almighty Himself has ordained and anointed to be King.

Man is not going to get the glory, God is. So when you do things God’s way, just know that no-matter what you may face along the way, God Himself will get the glory. And your end will be good because God puts Himself above His word. No matter how long it takes lets be patient and obey. God has a set time for everything and because you don’t know His time doesnt mean its not going to happen. David was anointed but He didn’t step on the throne straight away. He was patient through the test, sometimes alone, sometimes surrounded by people, sometimes cried, sometimes rejoiced, sometimes He was even thinking that Saul will surely kill Him one day. But in the end God got the glory and He waited.

True Friendship ( Lessons From David and Jonathan)

True Friendship ( Lessons From David and Jonathan)

A true friend will rejoice and celebrate your victory with you. They won’t look down on your strengths and abilities God has placed within you. When you have achieved success in any area of your life they will be happy for you. They will tell you what it is, when you have done well ” they will say well done. They won’t be jealous of you, they are happy to see you as a friend doing well around them.
Jonathan gave His armor, robe, sword, bow and belt to David after wining the battle against Goliath. He celebrated David as a warrior. Even though Jonathan Himself couldnt face Goliath , He was not jealous when David won.
True friends will not envy in the area which you succeeded but they couldn’t. They will still celebrate you. Because they understand that God has a purpose and plan for everyone

A true friend delights in you. They like you for who you are. Not because of what you have. Not when you are rich or when life is good. But when life gets tough their friendship with you doesn’t change. They don’t all of a sudden appear when life is going well and disappear when life gets tough. They don’t like you because others like you or not. Others opinion doesn’t change their opinion about you. “In 1 Samuel 19:1 the Bible says Jonathan delighted greatly in David.” He liked Him for who He was. Whether His father Saul liked David or not did not change Him.

A true friend will speak well of You. They won’t tell you all the lovely things and go and tell people bad things about you. They won’t go and tell your business to the world.They have a heart to see you do well.
In 1 samuel 19:4 the Bible says
Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul. ” He said ” Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because He has not sinned against you, and because His works have been very good towards you.

A true friend is not selfish. They want You to have other friends to. They don’t want you for themselves. Because they care about you, even if it means you have to move away from them because of an issue they are happy for you. And will remain your friend.
Jonathan cared more about David’s safety than David’s company. Telling David the truth meant that David will have to move away from Him. But Jonathan wasn’t selfish and told David the truth so He will be safe.
During my time of writing this message. I asked myself. Am I a true friend? Do I tick all this criteria. The truth is I don’t tick all this criteria. And Ive learnt that the more I spend time in prayer and ask God to show me and mould me, the more I learn to love. And seeking God has definitely made changes in valuing friendships and treating others how i would like to be treated. The truth is Jonathan and Davids friendship was a covenant. The bible says the Soul of Jonathan was knit with David ” and Jonathan Loved Him as His own soul.

Their friendship was built by God. Only God can help us love with a pure heart and enable friendship to function like David and Jonathan’s friendship. To be honest with you as I was also writing the only friend that came in my mind is Jesus. Only He could fit all the criteria for me that was listed.
But God’s word shows us we can have and also be the earthly friends like Jonathan and David. Jesus is our ultimate friend, but God uses people in our life’s to help us through our journey on earth.

 

 

If God is for Us

Why would someone still treat you differently or hate on you even when they have more than you. Its because of where they can see you going.To you ,you are little, but you’ve got to understand you are a treasure in the eyes of God. You’ve got greatness inside of you and you may not see it but they do. You may think you have little now, but the very little you have will be great one day. Sometimes you may think the best thing to do is revenge those who want to destroy you. But the battle belongs to God.
David acted wisely in the midst of Saul. He did everything He needed to do correctly so Saul will have nothing to say. But He was still jealous of Him. He still wanted to kill Him. Not because had anything, but because of where he could see David. The women rejoiced over David and that made Him jealous. That was a while ago, but Saul continued to be jealous. Because He could see that David was going to be great with God on His side.

You shall conquer in every battle set to trap or take you out. You will succeed in the area they placed you to limit you. Because God is with you
Saul sent David to war so He will be killed. He told Him to go and bring back 100 foreskins of the philistines, to prove that He had conquered. But David went to war and brought back 200 foreskins. He went to the war that was planned to kill Him and brought back double of what Saul requested. He didn’t just survive He succeeded in the area set up to kill Him.
May God expose every scheme to destroy you and confuse the plans of the enemy.
Saul told Jonathan He wanted to kill David. But God made Jonathan love David as His own soul (1 samuel 18:1) . So Jonathan informed David that Saul seeks to kill Him. And even advised David to go into hiding.

Some people want to criticize you and make your life difficult. Some people want to get rid of you not because of something bad you have done. But because of something good you have done. They don’t want to see any goodness come out of you, even though you are doing well, they will find something bad to say. They want you to take your eyes of everything thats going well and start to think of yourself the way they see you. To make you think of yourself lowly and eventually stop doing good. Be Careful with such people.
Saul sent messengers to kill David. But at the time David was with a group of prophets prophesying and He was leading. When the messengers saw David, their agenda to kill David was removed. The spirit of God took over them and they began to prophesy as well. Saul sent second and third messengers and they also began to prophecy.
God is able to turn any trap or assignment against you to be for you. Those who have been assigned to eliminate you will be confused. They will start helping you rather than destroy you. They came with an agenda, but their agenda will not be fulfilled. Because if God be for you, who can be against you.

Glory be to God

Purpose behind your Pain.

I never really used to understand when people say there is purpose behind your pain. For me it sounded like You mean I Didn’t go through all this for no reason? I didn’t fight this battle for no reason? But one faithful day I grasped and experienced what it meant by Purpose behind the pain. That whatever you went through was not meant to kill you, it wasn’t meant to define who you are, but God will help you overcome it and use you to help others in a similar situation for His glory. I came to understand that it wasn’t all about me, that there are loads more people who were broken. That I needed to keep my eyes on Jesus and seek Him to fill the brokenness within me. That Jesus came for the broken, lost, confused, weary. That I couldn’t allow anything from the past that made me broken to keep me in bondage. That all authority in Heaven and on earth belongs to Jesus and nothing that I’ve faced could hold me down because He gave me authority to use His name which is above all.

So I got up that morning just hungry to spend time with God. The time I spent in the morning before work was not enough. So I decided that at lunch time at work I would spend time in the prayer room at work. I prayed and worshiped and had my quiet time to listen. But in the middle of waiting I sadly started sleeping. I can’t believe I slept. Then I woke up again and began to worship, but then a lady walked into the prayer room and sat a few seats behind me. I toned down my voice and I felt to turn my head again and watch. I turned my head again to worship but I felt to stop and watch her again. Then I just asked Her, ” Are you alright” she replied “Yes” but then tears started rolling down her face. I got up from my seat and went to sit next to her. I hugged her and the tears were even more. She then spoke to me and said she has been tortured so much by people in the past. With words of abuse from people close to her and even her past relationship. And now that she is free from those people her mind is still caught up in the past. She is free physically but her mind has not recovered from the abusive names and labels from the past. Her mind is still bound to the past and she doesn’t know how to be free. She doesn’t know how to escape torturous voices and she just doesn’t see how she can be free and live. The medication and therapy from the doctors wasn’t making a difference. As she spoke I held her hand, God gave me words to encourage her. Even though tears strolled down her face, she began to smile, I spoke with words of hope, words of strength, words of power and words of someone who didn’t see why I needed to live at a point in my life, but God kept me. As I finished speaking she asked me to pray for with her. I prayed with her and Hugged her. She had the biggest smile on her face, she continuously kept saying thank you.
As I was returning back to work I stopped for a moment and thanked God for using me. I thanked God for using me to reach to someone who was broken from her past just as I was.I thank God for giving me strength and healing me of the thoughts of hopelessness that nearly led me to take my life when I was young. I thanked God for keeping me to see that day and giving me the strength and peace to overcome so He could use me to help someone else who felt the same way about life.

image

I don’t know what you’ve been through. I don’t know what words or situations from the past has kept you in bondage. You are not hopeless because of your past. You are valuable because of who you belong to; Jesus. He has given you life today because He Loves you and you have a purpose on this earth. Don’t allow your past pain to steal the bright future God has for you. Take the pain, the brokeness, the emptiness to God. Stop crying about what you went through and cry out to God. God doesn’t want your mind on your pain, He wants your mind to be on Him.  Only Jesus can set you free.

Glory be be to God
I will be still and know you are GOD.

Submit..Surrender all

Romans 12:1  And so, dear brothers and sisters,[a] I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.[b] 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

God requires us to give ourselves to Him. Submit our bodies in obedience to Him, submit our minds, submit our hearts. You can’t ask anyone to make something for you until you give them the materials.God cannot use us and change us until we give ourselves to Him. That does not mean accepting Him by word of mouth only, but accepting Him in our actions and hearts.That we choose to obey Him, that we choose to think about life and people the way He thinks. That we choose do His will.
The more we give Him ourselves, the more He can use what we give Him. When you go to a tailor and ask them to sow you a skirt, you buy the material that is sufficient to sow a skirt, however if you would like to sow a top then you have to give Him more.

God requires us to submit, which means let go, surrender, lay down your plans, your dreams, your actions and Let Him give Him yours. It means not choosing however i want to live, but i choose to live how He tells me to Live.
Thats why the bible says don’t copy the behavior of this world. It means don’t choose the way the world chooses. Choose God’s way. Don’t submit to the worlds ways, or your own ways. Choose God’s ways. His way is life.

image

Psalm 16:1
You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
And His way is not copying anyone but Knowing His ways through His word for your self. Somebody is not your role model, God and His word should be our role model. Because people will fail, people can change, and using them as your role model will disappoint you. Jesus is our role model, He lived on earth so we can know how to live. God never fails, and He puts His word above Himself.
Psalm 138:2 (NKJV) “I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for you have magnified Your word above all Your name.”

As the song goes “I surrender all to you, everything I give to you, with holding nothing. I give myself away so you can use me. ”

I remember crying so much at my Granmother’s funeral. And even though I know we will all leave this earth oneday, I was so sad I just didnt want it to sink in she was gone. I just didnt want her to leave, So i kept sobbing and asked my mum why my Granmaa couldn’t stay just to spend more time with us. And my mum replied “You loved her but God Loves her more. She is not yours She belongs to God.

We don’t have to be afraid to submit, because we belong to Him.

My life is not my own, To You Lord I belong.

God Loves You

To obey is better than Sacrifice

God asked Saul to destroy all the Amalekites. He spoke through the prophet Samuel and told Him to do so.
But Saul left the best of the sheep and oxen and the king of the Amalekites and didnt kill them. ( 1 samuel 15:20-21)

The reason He didnt kill them was because ” He feared the people and obeyed their voice”. ( 1 samuel 15:24)

(1 samuel 15:24 Then Saul said to Samuel ” I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.)

Saul became more focused on pleasing people than pleasing God. The reason He disobeyed God is Because “He feared them”.
But did He forget that the people did not choose Him? That God chose Him? He needed God in every battle to win. He needed God’s direction to know how to rule His people. But for a moment He started to fear them instead of God.

He kept the best of the sheep and oxen belonging to the amalekites, so He could sacrifice them to God. But God didnt ask for a sacrifice. He asked Saul to obey.
You don’t have to seek people’s opinion on obeying the word of God. You don’t have to fear that you will loose a friend or you will loose a boyfriend. You don’t have to fear that you will loose things.

Are you more afraid of people that are not in control of their own breath than the one who gives you life? Are you more worried about people who cannot protect you from evil than God who never sleeps nor slumber for you? Are you more worried about what the people who don’t know what tomorrow brings than the one who makes a new day?

God is merciful, God is kind, But we’ve got to Obey Him.

I used to seek people’s opinion about God’s word. Even though i knew the word myself. So I listened to friends and people’s opinion on whether I should stop fornicating. I was afraid of God, but i was more afraid of loosing someone I was not married to. And this was also the advocates of friends who went to church and believed in God. Before I began fornicating I was afraid, afraid because deep within me I knew God was not happy. But as time went on I began to think ” well every one around me says its fine”. But I didn’t realise how much fornication had eaten my peace. I didn’t realise how much it began to affect my relationship with God. I would go to church and worship and give offerings. But deep down God wanted me to surrender myself more than the offerings and the lip service I did.

The issue is I cant blame my friends for the decisions I took to disobey God. Because I had a choice. And no matter how people influence you to make a decision, at the end of the day they won’t face the consequences you will.

image

So first go to God’s word about the matter. What does God say about the decision you are about to make?

1 samuel 15: 22
Behold to obey is better than sacrifice.

God doesn’t want our lip service of sacrifices when we have not given Him our soul. He doesn’t want the devil to have entrance and do what He wants with us. He doesn’t want our souls to burn in Hell. He wants us to have peace, He wants us to rest in His bosom. He loves us.

We will be judged individually, not with friends, not with family, not with partners. We will be judged individually. Not on because we feared people more than God. When our soul, spirit and our bodies are powerless after death, where we end up will be a result of the choices we made whiles we were alive here on earth

Because Saul disobeyed God and followed people’s opinion instead of what God told Him to do, the Lord rejected Him from being King over Israel.
Our destiny can be diverted just by following the opinion of people instead of what God has said. Don’t reason with the truth, when you know what God’s word says follow What He says. God knows you more than your closest friend. He has the best in store for you and He has great plans ahead for you.

The Glory of the Lord

The Presence of The Lord

The glory of the Lord is holiness, the glory of the Lord releases power, the glory of the Lord brings revelation, the glory of the Lord brings victory, the glory of the Lord brings peace.
When Moses left the Israelites to seek God’s counsel, Whenever He returned His face was shining. It was shining so much He had to cover it up at a point ,so He could communicate with the Israelites.

Exodus 34:35 and the people of Israel would see the radiant glow of his face. So he would put the veil over his face until he returned to speak with the LORD. 

image

But God wants us to see His glory beyond how He impacted Moses.We have the Holy Spirit living in us as God’s children and God’s glory can be manifested  through us beyond how it shown through Moses. God wants His glory to be shown through us to a broken world. 
2 Corinthians 3:7-11The old way, with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses’ face.For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away. 8 Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life? 9 If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God! 10 In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new way.11 So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever!

Lord I want to experience more and more of your glory.We’ve got to experience more and more of God’s glory. That we don’t just see change in our lives, that we see change in our communities, in our cities. And as the bible says we can be bold, because of Jesus, we don’t need to hide our face, we’ve got to show our face so lives can be impacted

2 Corinthians 3:11-12  Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold.13 We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away.

Also so amazing that when the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle, that the Israelites would stop their Journey until the day God’s glory left the tabernacle.
In the presence of the Lord there is freedom, there is liberty, there is fullness of Joy.
The Israelites needed to rest in God’s presence. So much that their journey to the promise land was on hold. God’s presence is more important than the plans you have ahead and the plans He has for you. Because its resting in His presence that you will uncover the steps that will lead to your victory.

The Victory matters and it will happen, but you’ve got to spend time with the King of Kings to know how you will conquer. You’ve got to rest in His presence and wait on Him to uncover the secrets to your next level.
We’ve got to choose a time to rest in God’s presence. We’ve got to make time where everything is put on hold for our King. Because He creates a new day, and we won’t be able to enter the new day and walk in His steps without consulting Him.
The Israelites put their journey on hold. Have you put God ahead of your plans, or have you put your plans ahead of God? The journey is not as important as the one who paved the journey. There would be no Journey without Him.
We can experience more of God’s glory when we spend time with Him. When we seek His face and put everything aside and put our mind and our hearts on Him. When we say “Lord I want your presence more than all you have for me”. More than the riches and gold that will perish.

John 11:40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”
