“But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord
should come to me? - Luke 1:43
Today Holy Spirit wants me to tell
you to value the presence of God that was present in your life.
1. Value and Honour the
presence of God.
“Then he said to Him, “If Your
Presence does not go with us,
do not bring us up from here." - Exodus 33:15
When Israelites turned
their face to an Idol, God said to Moses that He will not go up in their midst.
But Moses knew how important the presence of God is. And so, he pleaded to God
for His presence and he was determined not to move forward without the presence
of God. Moses valued the presence of God.
God has carried you
thus far. If He had not intervened in your life, you would have perished long
back. Do not murmur against Him who is carrying and leading you. You those who
are saved by God, remember not to turn your face towards an idol for any
reasons says Holy Spirit to you today. Value God’s presence that was existing
in your life right now. Only His presence can give you rest.
“I marvel that you are turning away
so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel” –
Galatians 1:6
2. Value and Honour the
Holy Spirit that God has given you.
“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit
of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption." - Ephesians 4:30
“Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul..." - 1 Samuel 16:14
God appointed Saul as
the King over Israelites. Once Saul was so little in his own sight. But God made
him the head of the tribes of Israel. But then he failed to obey the voice of
the Lord. The Lord Almighty regretted for making Saul as king over Israel. Then
Bible records that the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul.
You are in this position
today because of Him and not by your own strength. You know that too says Holy
Spirit to you and then why you are hardening your heart against God and His
word. God wants you to repent today before it was too late. Do not disobey God’s
voice and do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God.
3. Value and Honour the
Grace of God that was provided to you.
“I do not set aside the grace of
God…” – Galatians 2:21
“Guard against turning back from
the grace of God…” – Hebrews 12:15 (GNT)
Bible says in Ephesians 2:5, “that while
we were spiritually dead in our disobedience he brought us to life with Christ.
It is by God's grace that you have been saved.”
Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:10, “I am what I am by God’s
grace…”
You are what you are
today by God’s grace. Once you were dead and were living a sinful life. But
through God’s grace, you were brought to life with Christ. And today God wants
you to live Holy as He is Holy. You have gone back to the sinful pleasures of
the world by turning back from the grace of God. Few of you are feeling proud and thinking that
you are living a righteous life than others around you through your own
strength and will power. By thinking so you are setting aside the grace of God
that is in your life which is leading you to live a righteous life before God.
Today God wants you to
humble yourselves before His presence and repent from the sins and pride filled
thoughts.
I am giving you a
chance today to get back to Me, My child, says God to someone out there. God’s
heart is longing to have you back in His presence. Listen to His voice today
and obey Him. Return back to Him leaving all the sinful pleasures. Value and
Honor God. You will not perish.
