Subject: Divine Healing, True or False? |
Bible Note: I’m sorry, when I give a Christmas present, I don't you expect to receive something in return. I have given Christmas presents before and later the person got me something because they felt obligated or something. I hated that! The Word says greater is he who blesses than he who is blessed. Guess what? The Word is true! I felt a whole lot better being a blessing than being blessed! Let God be true and every man a liar. If God rewards me it will be out of His love for me, not by me doing the “right” thing and somehow He being obligated to me. The Word says God desire obedience, not sacrifice. I work each and every day. I get paid once a week. If my employer came up to me and said, “I’m sorry, we can’t pay you anymore”. I would say, “I’m sorry, I can’t work here anymore”. If my dad called me up and asked for my help, I would be there in a flash. Because I love him, I would go without expecting anything in return. However, he might reward me greatly, because he loves me , but it does not matter to me either way. If I started expecting something each time I helped him out, he would start calling someone else, not me. He will continue to let me help him, if I continue doing it out of love. If he rewards me, it will be out of love, not obligation. My employer rewards me out of obligation not love. If we treat God like our employer, we will only serve Him if He continues to “pay” us what we think we are worth. If we serve God like a Father, we serve Him out of love not obligation. We are living according to the Spirit and we don’t have our minds set on the things of the flesh (Romans 8:5). If we start treating God like our employer instead of our Father, don’t think He will continue to use us to our fullest potential. God does bless His children in ways above and beyond what we could ever expect or imagine (Eph. 3:20), but it will be according to His will and love, not our formulas. In Christ Jesus, retxar |
