FAITH CAPSULE: Seek and serve God to prepare and be ready for His visitation.
Exodus 19
God created man to live life seeking God in His way. Living life in the way of God is living for the glory of God. Revelation 4:11 buttressed, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.” It is important to know and understand that to seek God is to serve Him. God brought the Israelites out of the bondage of over four hundred years to seek and serve Him. What is representing bondage of Egypt in your life and not able to seek and serve God?
In life, the lack of understanding to be serving God is limiting the manifestation of God’s power in man’s life. Just as the Israelites were in the bondage of Egypt for over four hundred years, are you in any bondage of life and not able to seek and serve God?
Israelites were delivered out of the bondage of Egypt with the purpose of serving God. Just like the Israelites, God wants man to be out of every representative of Egypt in life and be seeking Him for His glory. God spoke to Moses, “…When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.” (Exodus 3:12) God also sent Moses to Pharaoh stating, “Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘thus says the Lord: “Israel is My son, My firstborn. So I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me…” (Exodus 4:22-23) God is a jealous God and He wants nothing from us but to seek and serve Him.
Seeking God, serving God today should be a way of living life in preparation and be ready to see (testify) the glory of God. The coming out of Egypt to serve God demanded from the Israelites to prepare and be ready for the visitation of God. God spoke to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.” (Exodus 19:10-11) Man must seek God to be seeing God by encountering His visitation for salvation in this wicked world of today. The Israelites were commanded to prepare (to consecrate and wash their clothes) and be ready for God’s visitation. Today, man should live daily prepared (by living the word of God) and be ready to engage and maintain the hand of God for unfailing deliverance in the wicked world of today. Are you seeking God daily with preparation and to be ready for God’s visitation?
Engage the word of God daily to be prepared, be ready for God’s visitation and not to miss His visitation.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of God for you to seek and serve God at every breath He has given you.
