TOPIC : MAY I NEVER BE WHERE GOD IS AND YET, BE LOOKING FOR HIM
TEXT : Luke 22 vs 70.
And they asked him, are you the son of God?
Many live in the place of glory and yet, lack glory.
Some have the anointing and yet they are looking for miracle.
Imagine the life of someone who lives at the bank of a river and yet lacks water to drink.
Such was the life of the people in days of Jesus Christ.
They lived with the son of God, yet they were looking for him.
And in our text, they sent men to inquire of him whether He is the son of God and thus they asked, 'are you the son of God'?
Jesus answered them, you said so! and yet they never believed him but took up stones to put him to death.
Many today live the frustrated life; the life of pain, bitterness, depression and anger and they think that God have forgotten them.
I want to tell you today that God is there with you.
Hear me; God is in that office or marriage.
God is closer to you than you can ever imagine.
In that Church where you are now, God is there.
All you have to do is to open your eyes to see him and believe his word.
In his days, the disciples were in the boat with him yet they were afraid.
In other words, they were with God yet, they didn't believe him.
The Samaritan women stood with Jesus, yet was questioning his identity.
Just as many in the Bible made mistake of always looking for God and couldn't find him though he was in their midst, many of us live that same way today.
One prayer you will pray for yourself is this, may you not be where God is and yet be looking for him.
May I not be where grace is speaking and yet my name will not be heard.
May I not be where men are lifted and yet I'm down.
May my name not be forgotten in the book of grace.
In Luk 18 vs 38 to 41 When Blind Bartimaeus heard about Jesus, he cried out for help saying, Jesus son of David, have mercy on me and he received mercy.
Was he the only blind person on that street? No, but he believed, sought after him and found him.
Others also heard about Jesus passing, kept quiet and remained blind for the rest of their lives.
I pray for you, may you not hear God pass bye and keep quiet.
May you not be in a pit and be silent when help is very close.
You will not die hungry when there is plenty to eat.
You will not die poor when your father owns the Heaven and the Earth.
You will not be naked when there is enough clothes in the wardrobe for you to put on.
You will not sit on the floor when you have a throne to sit on.
May you not wear a cap when there is a crown for you.
May you not go around with walking stick when you have a staff of office to your name.
May you not live in wilderness when there is a mansion for you in destiny.
May you not hide at the back stage when you ought to be the one performing on television.
May your voice not be muted when you ought to be heard globally.
May you not hide when you ought to be seen and celebrated.
Those who miss such opportunity tend to live in regret for the rest of their lives.
I pray for you; may you not be where God is and yet you are looking for God.
CONFESSIONS:
Father thank you for your word that has opened my eyes.
I pray not to be where God is, yet I'm looking for him.
Amen.
