Revelation snippets: What do you want?

 

As the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself (Jn 5:26).

As the Father has …. (what you need) in Himself, so has He granted…. (your name) to have…. (what you need) in him or herself. Wow!

Now, pay attention to the word IN. The Prosperity Gospel has often ignored this little word: IN; and yet, it is a keyword. The fact is that GOD gives His sons and daughters what is IN Him. So, according to you, what kind of things are IN Him? Cars? Houses? Money? Jobs? A visa for the U.S?

Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart, the Scripture says (Ps 37:4). We like focusing on the second part of this verse – the granting of all our wishes – putting the first part aside. However, to delight in the LORD is to seek the Kingdom of GOD and His righteousness FIRST (Mat 6:33). To delight in the LORD, is to desire above all things, that GOD’s reign be established first in our lives, and then in the whole universe. When we are consumed by such sentiments, GOD grants us the desires of our hearts and many other wonderful things, which we have not asked, are given to us as a bonus, just like it was the case with Solomon. So, again I ask: what is there IN GOD? How many of your desires are IN Him? What divine virtue do you need?

It is good to use the opportunity of this Easter break to remind ourselves of the reasons why CHRIST died and rose from the dead. Last week, I said it was to give us victory over sin. This week, I will add that He died so that we may have access to the things which are IN GOD; and not to the things which are IN the world. Think about this and once more, Happy Easter!
