Wake the faith up

 

When the new wave of the baptism of the Holy Spirit hit America between 1900-1906 it brought in a wave of Supernatural healing, tongues, prophecy, faith etc… and due to that many churches started up and stamped one of those as their claim to fame and yes many grew to mega churches before we ever used that term. There were churches that set up shop as miracles church, some were prophecy churches, some were healing churches… all good…. but the problem they all died over time…

We see it today… many churches are built on the best worship, the coolest hippest services with multi media, some with young energetic Gen z preachers who have great taglines in their sermons… and again many of them will die over time…

Why? Well it is the same reason you may have your own faith dwindle and falter over time…

you ran after the attributes of God and not after God. There is nothing wrong with any of the things I have mentioned above wether its miracles, tongues, cool worship, techie services or hip pastors…. There is nothing wrong unless you seek the experience and the phenomena over God himself.

Make it a point to seek the gift giver over the gift…

Imagine if you will you had the choice to be given 50k or to become friends with the multi billionaire who was offering the 50K…. If you are smart you would take friendship over funds any day. 

When you ask yourself “what do I need from God”… its always good to first ask… How much do I need God? and if you can honestly answer that you feel like you have a greater desire for the need than for God… you are in trouble.  

This was one of the issues in King Saul life… he began to run after what God could provide and not after God. When Samuel came to him and said “what is this bleating I hear”… i.e. why did you keep the plunder and the animals…. and Saul gave his excuse but it was more about taking Gods victory and using it to gain the support and popularity of his soldiers… And Samuel says Obedience is better than sacrifice…. in todays world we would say Obedience to God… keeping him number one is way more important than seeking him so that you look good in the eyes of others. 

Hey its friday… ask yourself, are you seeking needs more than needing God?
