HIS PRESENCE IS EVERYTHING. (PART 2)

TEXT: Exodus 33:12-18.

The story is told of a little girl who had cerebral palsy and was unable to move. The parents knew the report of the doctors but they chose to fill her room with presence of God by playing messages of faith continuously. One day they heard a noise coming from her room, when they got there she had gotten up and to the amazement of all she said “By His stripes I am healed.” You are what you hear and believe.

CONTEMPLATION                                     

The first time most of us encountered God the passion and satisfaction of our souls was just to be in the presence of God. But today some of us have become too sophisticated to crave for more of God. 

“I know of places where the people started with a strong

hunger and total dependence on the Lord, but after a few successes

they became too confident and began to trust in their

wisdom, methods, gifts, and skills. They suddenly felt they

knew what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. As long as

they were still getting results here and there, they failed to see

the need to passionately seek God.” FFPW p100-101.

If you celebrate the gift of God over the presence of God you are probably more concerned about glamour and the recognition of men than in the glory of God. Do not exchange your gold for brass. They do not have the same value.

PRACTICAL ISSUES

 There are worship houses and individuals who started out in the spirit but are now in the flesh because they wanted to be acceptable, sophisticated and politically correct. They have left their first love.

Whatever experience you seek after, be careful not to miss the presence of the Lord. Daily devotional by Rev. Igho Y; the Glorious Fountain Ministries.
