*PUTTING GOD FIRST* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well."* (Matthew 6:33 (CEV))
_Bible Insight:_
And for those of us that like to outsource our seeking. It’s wherever people say it’s happening, that’s where you will plant yourself. Jesus said “Seek ye!†You do the seeking. You go out of your way to find the kingdom. But seeking is hard and it’s not pleasant to the flesh. That’s why many don’t bother. But while others are enamored by the many activities, the man of God must stand by and observe and ask “where is God?†There and there alone must he be found.
The story is told of a couple who managed to flee one of these countries in the Middle East that was facing intense persecution. The couple emigrated to America and stayed there for only a short time before deciding they wanted to go back. Their reason? America’s Christianity was making them spiritually dull. They’d rather go back to the land of persecution and be spiritually alert. Than stay in the land of abundance and be spiritually dull. They left God’s own country and headed back home almost immediately after they landed.
If you’re not a believer, I don’t expect you to understand this. But if you’re a believer and you think this couple is foolish, I don’t care if you’re a pastor, it’s only exposed how secularised you’ve become. We’ve heard of missionaries in places of intense persecution who ask for prayers. This church asked this missionary what they should pray for: deliverance? Judgment? But the missionaries said no. They didn’t want to be “delivered†from these places. They just wanted strength to go on and more open doors to reach more people with the Gospel.
_MEDITATION:_
*"And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness."* (Acts 4:29-31 (KJV))
