(Fifth part)
Memory verse (Heb12: 2): " Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God ".
If you want some genuine information about a certain product, you have to consult two things: one, the manufacturer’s manual, secondly the manufacturer himself. The time you spend everyday with Jesus in fellowship will help you invaluably in understanding who you are in Christ. That’s why God instructed David to seek his face (Ps27:8). Some people know God’s hand but don’t know or seek God’s face. Those who know God’s hand only, know God’s works and power, healings and provision but they don’t know God. They don’t have continuous daily communion with God. The children of Israel knew God’s miracles but they didn’t know the ways of God. But Moses knew both; he knew God’s works but he was hungry to know God’s face. Once he cried out: “ show me your face “. (Ps103: 7)
Seeking God’s face leads you to knowing God and Daniel said that those who know their God become strong and they do great exploits (Dan 11:32).
If you want to know who you are in God’s eyes, don’t focus on your color, your past, your surroundings, don’t focus on men, on your education... all these are things of this world they can neither determine who you are, nor define your identity and purpose. Focus on your maker.
Only people who spend time with God make impact with their lives. Only those who spend their time in the secret of the most high can release God’s might power through their lives. Only men and women who knew the secret of seeking the face of God left a mark in their generations that have not been removed. When men spend time in God’s presence, they discover their potential and can maximize that potential by prayerfulness. Prayerfulness opens heaven over your life and all limitations, fears and unbelief are completely erased out of their life. Men and women, who pray, are planted by God’s river of life, and they are evergreen and fruitful. My friend, if you have been treating prayer lightly you’d better get serious. If you are not praying, then you are playing. The more we look into God’s eyes, the more we see ourselves through him, Amen.
Tomorrow’s subject: “ your choice determines your potential ”
