Several people are disillusioned with their
walk with the Lord. They believe He does not answer their prayers no matter how
much effort they put in by praying, fasting and giving. After awhile they begin
to question if God actually called them. Unfortunately, their local assemblies
seem not to understand their plight, since they are born again they believe
they should be alright. Someone once said that so many servants of God have
changed the Scripture that says we should go and make disciples of men, what
they are making are believers. Just get them ‘born again’; what they do
thereafter is not much of their concern! When these new converts come into the
fold they are unable to connect with the God they have been introduced to. The
basic elementary teachings of God they are not taught yet they are made to
handle units they are ill-equipped for whilst slowly decaying and dying on the
inside. Those that remain try to play along for awhile whilst others return
into the world worse off. If you are in such a situation please read this
prayerfully and the Lord will expand it in you. In Esther 2:15, we saw the
young virgin Esther humbly rely completely on Hegai’s the king’s eunuch’s suggestions.
She understood that she cannot win the king’s approval if she doesn’t know what
he likes. He taught her what the king desires; because she listened and obeyed
the teachings she won the approval of the king and all that saw her. She had
been earlier uprooted from everything familiar, she now has to operate in an
environment where the customs, language, dressing, thinking is all different. The
king’s eunuch like the Holy Spirit had been positioned to help these young
virgins prepare for their one night with the king that will either lead them
into an exalted position in the Palace or be kept in the harem – a holding area
for those that would have been ‘queen’. This is exactly how we are when we come
into the Kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit is positioned to teach us how to
please and delight our Master. Jesus said in John 16:13a (TMSG): “But when the
Friend comes, the Spirit of Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you
into all the truth there is…” The Bible says Esther relied completely on the
advice of Hegai and she was chosen at the end of the day to be Queen. Friend,
the reason for your disillusionment and unfulfilment in your service is not
whether if God called you or not; He did, but you are yet to submit totally
under His tutelage. In His class you cannot have your own agenda or principles:
it is His way all the way! Have you not asked yourself “how can I please the
King of kings when I don’t know what He loves.’? The Only One that can teach
you is the One that had always being with Him from the very beginning and is
still with Him. Spend time with Him and get to know Him, you will be pleasantly
surprised. He is INDEED the friend that sticks closer than a brother. Desire to
know Him and you will in Jesus Christ name because you are INDEED CALLED! God bless you.
"When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]" (Genesis 17:1, AMP). A while back, I overheard a conversation between two young men; both were wondering how a person can be and remain holy in a world that daily encourages you to exhibit and enjoy every self-indulgent pleasure one desires. Of course, they knew the Scripture in Psalm 119:9-11, which describes how a young man can keep his way pure, but they feel it is increasingly becoming difficult to discern the way of the Lord from the world system. To them, many Pastors and children of God have been won over by the kingdom of darkness to subvert the principles of God as written in the Bible. They were not wrong, in light of some of the teaching coming from the pulpits! The above ...
