Psalm 15 and Job 1:21
We live in a world where everybody is
looking around to see what somebody else has got in the material world in order
to find a description of value and significance, but have you ever wondered why
people define your value and their very own importance but in the material they
have been able to galvanize.
We operate in a world then where victory is celebrated
at the gaining of the material.
I f you have a big house people will
easily celebrate you and sing after your own cheers.
They will clap hands for you in the streets
every now and then you drive around in big fancy top of the line automobile.
The authorities of the town that you
live in will place a sign-post at the beginning and at the end of one street corner
to another because you have got huge property in town.
The church folk will give you a front row seat
because your three piece suit is custom made and fancy.
I wonder what you are up to and running after
in this world.
If
you were to run after anything in this world what would it be? Would it be a
beautiful woman a big mansion on top of the hill, a fancy top of the line automobile?
If you are running even as of right
now, what are you running and going after? Are you running after money or you
are after the mantle of God Almighty?
I
wonder! I wonder! I wonder! Do not get me wrong.
Money is fine but the mantle is the
finest of things that you can ever have.
And if you are to run, run after the
mantle of God Almighty.
Where is the mantle of God Almighty?
It’s supposed to be upon the head of
God but who can reach for the mantle of God except the one who is after the
heart of God.
In order for you to be after the heart
of God you must be able to align yourself with psalm 15”Lord who shall abide in
thy tabernacle, who shall dwell in thy holy hill, he that walks uprightly and
works righteousness and speaks the truth in his heart”
To reach for the heart of God is to
speak the truth in your very own heart.
To do and to act in the same like manner as
Job who God himself in all his purity, holiness, righteousness, majesty, Glory,
and power describes in a braggadocios fashion’” there is no one on earth as faithful and careful not to
do anything evil.”
In order to go for the heart of God and
nothing but his heart, you must be willing to be able to praise God in the bad
and good times just like Job did upon losing everything material you can
imagine thereof.
When he declared in Job 1-21” I was
born with nothing, and I will die with nothing. The Lord gave and now he has
taken away. May his name be praised!
” To be after the heart of God is to
understand that even though bad stuff is going on around me and even though
evil is all over the place.
To the extent that bad people prosper
off good people, Good people are struggling while bad people are making it in life.
Orphans are uncared for, widows are
being robbed by the very people responsible for defending their rights.
In spite of all the evil in the world
God is not to be blamed but good people who sit back and do nothing when evil
is going around are to be blamed.
If you going to miss God’s heart then
go out for stuff because if the truth is to be told, you can get stuff anywhere
even outside of God, but you can get all
the stuff that you can get and still operate with a void that only God Almighty
can fulfill.
To capture the heart of God is to seek
the kingdom of God and all its righteousness and then all other things will be
added unto thee.
The kingdom of God is in the heart of God once
you get the heart of God then you have the Kingdom of God Almighty.
