FAITH CAPSULE: Here are two pondering questions for acclaimed believers of God.
John 14
Quick question:
Do you know if you are free or not?
The majority of believers are not free and do not know God.
The majority are conversant of the word of God, constantly attending fellowships and praying all night but not free.
Help yourself, search yourself to know if you are free or not free.
Jesus identifies the free one, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32) Knowing about is not knowing the truth.
Get to know Jesus, the way and the truth and the life. (John 14:6)
Pray that God enables you to know Jesus, not just know about Him.
To know Him should live life as one that believes and receive Him.
Another question:
Do you believe and receive Jesus as your Lord and savior living life by His word?
Many believe in Him and do not receive, while many receive and do not believe in their living life.
Do you believe in God or receive in Him?
Do you know Him or know about Him?
Get to know Him, believe, and receive in Him.
One that believes and receives Him counts as children of God. John 1:12 records, “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God”
Ones that believe in Him and do not acknowledge Him do not receive Him. John 12:42-43 points out, “Yet at the same time, many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees, they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue; for they loved human praise more than praise from God.”
Are you in a position in the name of God (as a leader) but not able to acknowledge God to avoid oppositions of God?
Are you for praising man above God?
A yes answer to the above questions is of one that believes but does not receive Him.
It is a commitment to God that validates one that believes, receives God.
What is it about commitment to God?
Commitment to God is not convenient but demands consistent to be committed living by the word of God.
Commitment with persistence to hear from God will lead to having a connection with God.
Commitment to God builds against confusion and will not have a complication to offset walk with God.
Commitment to God will eliminate the struggle.
Commitment to God will increase wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to have an edge in the life journey.
Commitment is labor, as in work. Work is sacrifice. Sacrifice is seeking God while seeking God is worshipping God.
Are you disciplined to be committed to God?
Commitment demands discipline. Discipline can be a pain when in the process to be built for God but, the pain will turn to unimaginable gainful from God.
Be committed to God with no excuse to compromise your relationship with God.
Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to know Him.
