(Sixth part)
Memory verse: (Exodus 34:29) " Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him "
Our lives are transformed in God’s presence. The vision for prayer should be great than getting our needs met, battles won, victories achieved, the highest vision of prayer should be in God’s presence. We need God’s presence more than his answers. We need God’s face more than his hands. We should be hungrier for God more than what he can do for us. When we pray the prayers of seeking his face, he promised to find him. It’s his presence that changes us. God’s presence, glory , nature begin to rub on our own, our emotions are touched, our hearts are searched out, our character and attitudes are affected, hard hearts are broken and softened, and like Moses you begin to change unknowingly. What the children of Israel saw about Moses was more than a skin dip experience. What happened to Jesus on the mount of transfiguration was more than what appeared to the eyes. It was an experience that affected the entire person in and out. Men see things from out but God from inside out. God works from inside out. That is what the scripture teaches, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. What men hear comes from the heart and what men see comes from the inside. Laws , regulations , dos and don’ts can’t change us into the kind of people God intends us to become. Scripture says that those who walk with the wise become wise (Pr 13:20). You are like the one you spend time with . When you spend time with God you’ll become Godly, when worldly things take your heart and time then you’ll become worldly. That’s why Scripture teaches us not to sit with with scoffers because you'd become a scoffer too. Many are deceived to think that Christianity is just a set of right things to, yes it's good to do right things, but if that what salvation was about, then God should have sent us a booklet of new law other than what he sent to Israel.
Salvation is about God’ s restoration of his relation with man.
Enjoy your weekend and see you next Monday
