Appreciating God

Proverbs 3
Genesis 3:4

Lucifer was granted by God Almighty the most pleasant, joyful, and, honorable place in the presence of the Lord God Almighty.

However for some uncanny reason Lucifer's heart was not contented , satisfied, accomplished and fulfilled even when it should have been.

And because Lucifer's heart was not contented, it was almost impossible for him to appreciate God in the best way possible.

And instead of using his God -given platform to appreciate God by giving him all the glory, and honor so that he would come to a place of satisfaction, and fulfillment, Lucifer instead used his God -given platform .

To draw all glory and honor unto himself by strategically, planning, and executing to dethrone the authority of God over his life by way of undermining, and despising the very authority of the Lord his God.

Hence as a result of this diabolic attempt, Lucifer fell from his God-given platform that was considerately designed for him by God to carry out the assignment of effectively making sure that God is worshiped in the best possible manner.

Obviously the platform and the assignment in and unto itself along with the person of the assignment(Lucifer) were honorable.

Its here and now that it ought to be said that every now and then you attempt to undermine the authority of God as ordained by God for your life, then the next experience is the falling from grace to grass.

When you fast forward away from the Lucifer experience unto the Adam and Eve experience, we understand that when God created and formed Adam and Eve,he did so by fashioning them to be the glorious crown of all his creations.

However,Adam and Eve were tempted by the devil to undermine, and despise the authority of God, and once that happened, Adam and Eve fell from grace to grass.

Adam and Eve were given by God the best assignment, purpose,and place among all things created of God Almighty.

But because of their failure to resist the temptation of the devil(fallen Lucifer) and use all that God had rendered unto them in order to appreciate God they lost their God-given place of glory, honor, and victory.

The temptation of the devil towards Adam and Eve was designed in a way to convince mankind to dethrone the authority of God over his life and destiny and then replace it with his own.

Ultimately the result of the temptation was Adam and Eve falling from grace to grass in an attempt to establish and reinforce their own will, and authority upon the earth.

In the whole of human race, the poorest among us is the individual whose heart is far be it from satisfaction.

An individual whose heart's desire and conversation is to galvanize more than he has got without first appreciating whatever possessions he holds in the present he is an individual that is poor indeed.

Poverty has endured upon the earth ever since Adam and Eve fell from grace to grass because man is more focused on acquiring more and more under the false caveat that satisfaction will come from galvanizing more and more.

Poverty is the failure to appreciate where you really are stationed in life because your present station in life is better than your past station.

The lack of appreciation for where you are stationed in life leads to non-satisfaction and a heart that is unsatisfied will always be broken and poor.

Furthermore, poverty is institutionalized in the failure to not only appreciate your station in life but also in the failure to appreciate God for everything and in every situation that you find yourself entangled.

However once you begin to appreciate God for everything and in every situation you find yourself entangled, then God will fundamentally ensure that you attain an abundant lifestyle.

A lifestyle that will facilitate you to become a blessing in your life time.
Prayer in the real sense of the word simply means a conversation of the heart directed unto and towards the Lord God our father.

God in all his hearing, hears the conversations of one's heart much more than anything else.

And God himself promised in his scriptures that he will fulfill the desires of one's heart.

The desires of one's heart are contextually captured in the sense of one's hearts' conversation.

The conversations of one's heart are so deep and mystical in nature that they can only be handled by the power and by the grace of God Almighty.

In all man's enduring if there is any thing to be much endured and appreciated then its in walking under the authority of God Almighty.

A man whose heart appreciates God and is thankful unto God always , no matter the circumstances is a man that will be given by God blessings that are inaccessible by human strength and ability.

Once God calls you to serve in his presence- its not an opportunity to dethrone him from his place of authority over your life but rather its an opportunity to be faithful unto God with an appreciative heart so that he can be able to give you more than you deserve.

It was possible for God to give Lucifer more than he had given unto him but because he undermined and did not appreciate God's authority, he was dismissed to a point of no return.
It was possible for God to give Adam and Eve much more than a crown of glory over all creation but cause they failed to fully appreciate God's authority over their lives, they was unable to realize more blessings from God Almighty.
Consequently we can only tap into the full blessings of God for our lives by walking under his authority thankfully, gratefully, and fully appreciative.
