Do What He Said!
We have come to a point on this journey where God has said some things and then He shuts His mouth! That’s where a lot of us are at today! When you get to this point on your journey...and He’s not saying anything…operate on the last thing He told you. Sometimes we get anxious and feel as if God is moving too slow! I know I do. Sometimes we wish He would hurry up and manifest the blessings that we’ve been praying for…let’s see if I can sporadically spew them forth…cuz they’ve come down to a science…the only things we pray for now…are “Lord give me a house…Lord give me a car! Lord I need money…Lord I need a job…Lord I need a companion (this is what single people pray)…Lord I need to be single (this is the one married people pray), and God doesn’t answer…why?
Because most times…if He gave us what we were praying for the blessing would be a curse. Because if He gave us the house…we would get stuck up and haughty…and forget when we were renting…if He gave us the car we would end up in places that He wouldn’t want us to be in…which would end up cursing us…because we would get entangled in situations and maybe have even more illegitimate children…if He gave us the money…we would do what we, as a people do, spend on depreciable assets and not put anything into investments for a great return down the road, the clothes would all be on our backs, if He gave us the job….we would forget what times service started...because we would be the saint that couldn’t quite make it to church because we were working all the time…disconnecting ourselves from the proceeding word of God!….If He gave us the companion…we would center our world around the companion and would forget all about Christ. (It happens every day) if He opened up the door for us to get single…we would open our children up to the spirit of divorce to the 3rd and 4th generations (believe me when I tell you to look at children of divorce and illegitimacy and see if this is generational, look back 2 and 3 generations and ask for yourself)
As I am writing this right now, I can’t help but get stuck on today’s title, DO WHAT HE SAID! That statement, although rather short, is, in fact, quite heavy. Why? Because, for the most part, we don’t believe, within ourselves that we have the ability to do what it is God is telling us! But would God have said to do it otherwise? Well, you know what…yes He would have because God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness!!!! The final analysis is, we can’t do what He said WITHOUT Him! So if we haven’t moved on what He told us to do my question to you and to me is…do we really have Him?
If you have to ask yourself the question, then you have to admit there is a problem with our inability to freely give Him everything. We won’t admit it in front of people but…but if the truth be told, we don’t believe that we can give God the ugly stuff that is hidden deep down in the hidden parts of our soul. We really believe that our hidden mess disqualifies us from walking and doing what He told us to do. Stop being afraid to mess up! Stop being afraid…it’s a trick of the enemy to get you to think that God only uses people who are perfect. Well if that’s the case, other than Christ, name one person in the word of God that didn’t mess up!!! Can’t name any because there aren’t any! Don’t allow the enemy to put you in a trick bag! Once you come to the Lord and ask for forgiveness He throws our sins into the sea of forgetfulness and remembers them no more! We are who God says we are!!!! On this day tell your ungodly soul ties to go to hell and…Do what He told you to do…and see the salvation of the Lord!
