Jeremiah 29:13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
The prerequisite for God to reveal Himself to any people is seeking Him with all our hearts.
Seasons have changed across the entire globe; Bible prophecy is unfolding speedily, and what seemed far off is before our eyes. Although God is expediting everything, He has frozen certain things in the realm of wickedness to awaken the church.
This calls for sensitivity to the seasons and taking this window of opportunity to seek the Lord. God’s demand on us is to die to our own ambitions, self-will, and surrender our lives to Him as instruments for His purpose and the expression of His Kingdom.
Matthew 24:12-13 [12] And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. [13] But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
Things are no longer the way they used to be; that’s why our faith level must change as well. The way we approach life cannot remain the same because the Kingdom of God is at hand.
Scripture says in Romans 5:20, where sin abounds, the grace of God will be much higher. But is the church awake to that, or are we still caught up in our little world, fighting battles with different churches and not having the Kingdom mentality of us being one body in Christ?
Matthew 3:2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!“
Things have changed in the realm of the spirit, so we cannot pray as we used to because the Kingdom of God is at hand. Very soon, the sky will open up, and we shall be out of here.
However, the level of consecration must match the time and season lest some of us will remain mere spectators. Many believers will find themselves in affliction and suffering because they do not know the life of consecration.
Things that dampen our consecration in this last age:
1. The Love for Money
Many believers have failed in the area of money and can no longer be trusted as faithful stewards. Yet God is merciful. If you love money and the world, cry out to the Lord and ask the Holy Spirit to set you free; otherwise, many will end up selling their birthright as Esau did. (Hebrews 12:16-17)
2. Mixed Multitudes
When the children of Israel were leaving Egypt, they carried with them the mixed multitudes. These were the people who were stirring up trouble among the children of Israel. Be mindful of the people around you. If you have people constantly reminding you of Egypt, sooner or later, you can become a victim of the desert heat. (Exodus 12:38)
3. Unfaithfulness
Let us pay attention to our fruit life. The Lord must help us to remain faithful and put our hearts right. These were the two things that failed the nation of Israel in the wilderness. Their hearts were not ordered right and were unfaithful to the Lord. Don’t be unfaithful to the Lord, order your heart. (Proverbs 20:6)
What will bring promotion, lifting, and opening of doors is no longer going to be your degree or experience, but your faithfulness.
God has entrusted us, as Mordecai told Esther: ‘who knows that God has raised you for such a time as this.‘ We are the most privileged generation in the history of mankind to live in these times and to see every prophecy written in the Bible fulfilled. So let’s get into sync with what the spirit of the Lord is doing in this age.
STAY BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED, WE LOVE YOU.
