Lost within God's blessings
Many people of faith we turned to lose a miningful relationship with our God the moment we start to identify how good our relationship with God is by comparing our faith with the blessings .
Our God, he is a faithful God he promised us not to lack in Deutoronomy 28 he even said, "You shall lend to many nations and not borrow." But have you ever realized how much damage to your faith and your relationship with God not to lack anything it has caused you?
Most of us we start to identify our selfves with the blessings that God has given us, and we start to develop pride, and the holyspirit doesn't dwell where there is pride. Even King David once abused some of God's blessings for his benefits. Remember when he sends a man to a war so that he can be killed and have his wife? What happened after that, God was angry with him he lost the relationship with God he had to beg for forgiveness.on the same story we learn that King David didn't lose his kingship but only the relationship with God , he continued to be a king but the connection was lost. So not all of us we will have to expiraince a great loss of what God have blessed us with for us to remember God , it is very tricky if you are lost within God's blessing , you might continue to heal people if God has blessed you with the Gift of healing, your business can continue to grow if God has blessed you with wealth while the connection have already been lost
As Christians or people of faith, we must always do a litmus paper test to our faith and is very simple.
Ask your self this very simple questions
Is the holyspirit still dwell within me ?
Can I still practice my faith to the same extent as when I started with my Christianity or faith journey?
For me is simple, back around 2011 I matriculated, pass my metric very well , Been accepted at university to do the course that I wanted to , but the university needed R4500 for registration but my mother didn't have it, her resolution was for me to take a gap year , do driving license for that year, after passing very well and that broke me, I didn't pray but I said to God " God your word said all the riches belong to you now I am in need of R4500.00 to register, I told God that tomorrow I am going to the university and I will have to register or else we are done.To cut the long story short I did register the following day , God even do exceedingly he made sure that I never paid a cent for that Degree and today I am a practicing professional Geologist . I always use this event as my zero for faith check when I have lost my ways with faith.
But can I still do something today and have the same results the following day? 🤔 Guess I am lost within God's blessing , I am more of a geologist than a person of faith.
How do we locate our faith again and make sure that the holyspirit dwell within us again ?
Is really simple by being humble , make time on your busy schedule to talk to your God it might be through a prayer or through reading his word ,
Remember they always say faith comes from hearing, hearing the word of God.
Remember it was an instruction in Joshua 1 vs 8"this book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth , but you shall meditate in it day and night , that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, then you will have good success."
Some of us we grow up poor and because of the poverty that we had we were very humble people and that makes it easy for the holyspirit to dwell within us. Now that you know God you don't need to be necessary poor but be the one one that has that heart that longs for God or God's word more than what the word can do for you.
Sick that all time religion and it will be Good enough for you. I love the song by William McDowell "withholding nothing"
I surrender all to you
Everything I give to you
Withholding nothing
Withholding nothing
I give myself away so you can use me
I give myself away so you can use me
Withholding nothing
