The Reward of God

 

After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. (‭Genesis‬ ‭15‬:‭1)

If the reward for seeking God was a million dollars and a Bentley-I could venture to guess the world would knock themselves over to get to God. 

However the reward for seeking God is not things or physical blessing. It is not even healing or answer to prayer.  

The reward for seeking after God is Jehovah Himself! 

The LORD declared to Abraham -I AM your exceeding great reward! 

Stop seeking God's hand and start seeking His face.  

He is not just your provider He is your provision! He is not just healer-He is healing! He is not just savior-He is salvation! 

In the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy! 

When you learn to seek Him, you will find that the reward for seeking God is more of God. 

When you get to that place of seeking Him and being satisfied only with God and God alone- It's there that you find yourself abiding in Him and He in you. It's when that happens as Jesus said "When we abide in Him and He in us"-it's then and only then that he promised we could asked anything in His name He would do it. 

Quit seeking an anointing and start seeking the Anointer! Quit seeking miracles and start seeking the miracle worker- Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God- The King of Glory! 

I'm not satisfied with stories and testimonies  of what God has done, I am only satisfied with the God of those testimonies.  

Abraham was blessed because He sought God and God became His reward!

The Power of His Presence

 

The Power of His Presence

 

V.1-2 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

V.10-11Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. (‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭1-2, 10-11‬ KJV)

The Psalmist here declares in the first verse; 'God is' those two words by itself are enough to just start shouting. I'm not sure what your going through today or what you may be in need of, but whatever it is; we serve a God that 'IS'. 

He is not the I was; HE IS! 

The Lord revealed Himself to Moses and said 'I AM'. Jesus announced to the Pharisees and declared 'Before Abraham was I AM'. 

The Psalmist is here declaring in verse 1 that "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." 

I know most just read right over those words, but I want to direct your attention to the word 'very' in this text. It comes from the word meʾōḏ in Hebrew. 

It literally means 'exceedingly powerful'. 

So now let's take another look at the text. As we now look at the scripture; why is God our refuge and strength? It is simply because the Prophet understands that God is present! 

God IS! The scripture is actually declaring that God is exceedingly powerfully present in our midst!

It is because we grasp the revelation that God is present in our midst, in our time of trouble that He only then becomes our  refuge and our strength.

He is our refuge and strength, because He is powerfully exceedingly present in our midst!

That is why the next verse shouts-'Therefore will not we fear though the earth be removed'. Why not?

Because Jehovah Himself is exceedingly powerfully present in our midst!! 

That is why in verse 10 the Holy Spirit declares to us; "Be still and know that I am God"

In the midst of our trials, in the midst of our midnight we have no reason to fear, no reason to doubt, no reason to worry; because the Lord Jesus is both powerfully and exceedingly present in our midst! 

When Jesus is present nothing can stand against us! Cancer flees in His presence, poverty flees in His presence, bondage is snapped in His presence, Demons tremble and flee in His presence! Dead things are resurrected in His presence! 

Understand now that whatever you are going through, whatever your circumstance; God is present! 

We are moving into a prophetic season in 2015. A season of rest, a season of the overwhelming presence  of God. We have now entered a season where dead things are going to be resurrected again because we are going to experience His exceedingly powerful presence! 

Walk today in the faith and revelation of His power and presence in your life in the name of Jesus Christ! 

 

 

 

Faith-The Key to God's Abundance

Heb 11:1,2,6

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report."

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him."

 

God will never create a life for you that makes Him unnecessary in your life. Faith exists in the NOW. The scripture here states that faith is the basis of those things hoped for. It is the literal vehicle from which you can access the tangibility of that you have hoped for.

It is important to understand however that many have hope but lack faith. While it is possible to have hope without faith, it is impossible to have faith without hope. Hope without faith is simply presumption. Faith operates on a promise.

There are many who travel to Las Vegas with misplaced hope that they will strike it rich or that they will win big. Hope without true faith is empty. This is why the scripture says that faith is the true substance (tangibility) of that which we hope for.

Faith is simply confidence. It is confidence that God's track record is faithful and that He will perform His word. Once you realize that it is impossible for God to lie you will realize that it is impossible for Him to not perform His word on your behalf. (Heb 6:18), (Num 23:19)

The bible declares that faith is the evidence of things not seen. What does this mean? It means that just because you cant see it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Rather faith manifests those things into the physical realm that already exist in the world of the spiritual.

Faith is standing on the promises of God and declaring that those things hoped for are manifested because they already exist.  Heb 11:3 "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that the things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

Faith implies that we rely on the track record of God himself. We are confident that no matter what we may see with our natural eyes we now see with the eyes of our spirit. We know with assurance that God will perform His word regardless of what the circumstances of life say.

Faith demands a level of expectancy. The battle of your faith is always won or lost in the arena of your expectancy. What are you expecting God to do for you?

Hebrews 11:6- Demands that without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God.

Why?  Because those who come to Him must do 2 things:

1. You must believe that He is. They must believe that He is God and rules with all power and authority. After all He is the Creator of heaven and earth, He is The Lord Almighty and nothing is impossible for Him. He is the Great- I AM that I AM. The Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End.

2. You must believe and understand that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. There is nothing wrong with expecting God to move on your behalf. He is a rewarder! Many often errantly say "I don't expect anything from God" Well no wonder they don't ever get a miracle! You must expect God to move!

Grab ahold of the word of God and begin to believe for your miracle. Your breakthrough is on the way!

Be healed in your body; Be set free in your mind; The bondage of oppression is broken; Be prosperous and be blessed in the name of Jesus!

The atmosphere of expectancy is the breeding ground for your miracle.
