“Are You Serious?”
GREETINGS FROM THE TEMPLE …
“Are You Serious?”
Are you serious? A simple question that can have multiple connotations. During our Sunday morning worship service our Pastor asked us questions concerning our commitment to God.
“How serious are you about God?” “Where is God in your life?” “Is God first?”
Let these questions marinate in your soul before you answer. I used the word, soul, because these questions run deep. You must not take these questions lightly because they are all critical to your heart relationship with God. Yes, your heart relationship with God must run deep. You must love Him with all your heart and soul. You must seek Him with all your heart and soul.
“If you seek Him, He will be found by you.” – 1 Chronicles 28:9b (NIV).
Once we seek Him and find Him, our commitment to Him will come under attack. There will be opposition to your heart relationship with God. Some little things and some not so little things will show up in your life. These things will try to block your relationship with God. You will start to wonder, “Why is this happening to me?” Satan. Satan goes on the prowl when he sees how God is providing in your life – when he sees how God is working in your life.
“All who are committed, connected, to God will encounter haters.” “Satan will try to distract you.” – Pastor Victor S. Brice – “Leave me alone, mind your own business!”
The above quotes from our Pastor were shared with us to encourage us to stand firm – to remain steadfast in the Word. Put the Word on Satan when he is attacking you. Make him flee.
“I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13 (KJV).
Remember how Jesus made the devil flee from Him in the wilderness.
“Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” – Matthew 4:4 (NIV).
The Word of God is your weapon – the Word of God is your armor. Put it on!
“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” – Ephesians 6:11 (NIV).
