Blessed be the name of God the Father, who in His magnanimity considered us worthy to receive of His love. The price He paid for our redemption could never be quantified. We cannot be thankful enough for giving us this blessed hope and assurance that Jesus indeed is ours.
Men and brethren, I greet you in the spirit of the season as faithful Christians all over the world remember the death and the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is my hope and desire that the resurrection power of Jesus brings alive every good in us that is dead in Jesus' name...
Three weeks ago, we started a short series on "The Invitation to Seek God's Face": Part 1 and Part 2
Today, we will continue on the third part.
Our scriptural reference is taken from the book of Psalm 27:8
My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me." And my heart responds, Lord I am coming.
Psalm 27:8 (NLT)
Beloved, when a man answers to this kind of invitation from God, he returns as a changed man, loaded with the blessings of God, with his face shinning bright. That was the the experience of Moses, Elijah, Peter, James and John when they were on the mount with Christ.
29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he has spoken with the Lord.
30 When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him.Exodus 34:29-30
Don't be too busy for this invitation brethren. You cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. It has been said by a man of God that;
when a man works, man works
but when a man prays, God works.
Sin will always attract His judgement; righteousness is the gift bestows for fellowship with Him.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Roman 6:23
Of a truth, judgement is deserved for our sins but the grace has been given. That grace is in Christ Jesus!
By answering this invitation, you put yourself in a position for God to work for you. And the difference will be very clear for all to see.
Since ancient times no-one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.
Isaiah 64:4
PRAYER
I pray that as you seek God's face and wait on Him in every of your endeavors God will work for you in Jesus' name... (AMEN!)
