1 CORINTHIANS 10:31
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do , do it all for the glory of God.
COLOSSIANS 3:17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
The above verses precedes my INTRO today and is a fulcrum to the title in focus-'ALWAYS FIND GOD IN IT'
We love God. We believe in his son Jesus Christ &that his Holy Spirit lives in us leading us unto all truth.
(That is not in doubt!!!)
We believe God knows, is interested and has solutions to every area of our lives.
EVEN THE MINUTEST DETAIL???
However, the simple questions are:
Do we allow him to???
Do we believe in that enough???
Those simple questions lie at the heart of today's message.
Beloved,many are the huge, middle lines & tiny compartmentalizations in our lives.
What are they?
How do you treat them?
Do you know one thing, mostly we treat these areas unconsciously?
Before I go into that, check out these various situations:
*Having stayed home jobless for more than 5years,sent countless applications, exhausted all your high society links and even paid all the bribes; I ASK THIS: 'WILL YOU FIND GOD IN IT' AFTER ALL HOPE IS GONE?
*What about that chronic illness gradually taking your Granny who is the only committed relative ready to take you through school.
I'm sure your answers will be YES to the above question-WILL YOU FIND GOD IN IT?
*So what about having some GHC5000 sitting fatly in your account but needing something around the region of GHC 6200 to GO FAR in that project.
Hmm...a big LIKELIHOOD of not really FINDING GOD IN IT because after all you can start it.
*Then, ignoring that sincere&joyous greeting from the security just to wait in hopeless anticipation of a wave from your superior.
OR Is it how you always belittle people, want to WIN at all costs and let them be at your beck and call.
No I'm not sure you FIND JESUS IN IT because in the above we rather quote scriptures I'M THE HEAD&NOT THE TAIL to vainly back it.
I'm sure you see the different levels of the above situations. Some really serious &the latter almost always treated lightly.
As I was saying, the sad thing is that we mostly do this unconsciously.
Why? because we have built it into our subconscious that this is for God and that one 'de3'...God even knows line 'no'
Brethren, the key solution is to start freeing(renewing)our minds of such and TRULY and REALLY see God in OUR EVERY SINGLE DETAIL.
This is still embedded in GRADUALLY building an intimate personal relationship with God. That's all it takes.
With that you will find God in everything even as you sit at that closet to free those unwanted bowels.
You'll face challenges, the flesh, pressures and all that will come alive BUT you'll get to the point Paul got to.
Not to stop at 'the good I want to do, I'm unable to....but you'll PRESS ON &say I have fought a good fight, finished the race...
It's possible...very possible to get to the point where the whitest of lies is just so impossible for you because you've found your true nature.
As you begin to embark on this new but innate spiritual journey; you would realise it's the sweetest...in fact, it's all you ever needed.
(THUS, TO FIND GOD IN EVERYTHING)
So as for me Otuo Serebour 'de3',even when I button my shirt, take a step or sneeze 'mpo a'; I FIND GOD IN IT 'papa'
SO I SAY TO YOU:
'ALWAYS FIND GOD IN IT'
