BE A GOD CHASER!
Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 (NIV) What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time.
The story of Israel was enslaved by Egypt in order to suppress their ‘birthrate’, in fact, it occurs today. We see how believers are enslaved by the world system to build the kingdom of men. This causes the direction and purpose of life of believers to deviate from what God has ordained, that is worshiping God and duplicating the righteous! Love for God continues to be eroded by the mold of this world and is replaced by the love of money, love for themselves, and love for the world.
I feel that God can no longer tolerate it. He was determined to aggressively liberate His people from Egyptian slavery. However, God needs people who want to walk in SUPERNATURAL POWER. At that time God found Moses who wanted to walk with Him. At this time, God has raised ‘spiritual leaders’ who are ready to walk in supernatural power! Hence, firstly, God will connect His people with the spiritual father who brings the divine pattern and power from the highest place.
God will ‘invade’ His people first with the Word, our part is JUST BELIEVE! Don’t hesitate to step OUT OF SLAVERY! For so long, men have been molded by this world to chase money and wealth, nevertheless, God has resurrected His people who pursue God with all their heart, soul, and strength!!
God’s voice will continue to resound either through spiritual leaders or we receive it personally (meaning staying in harmony with the corporate Word), our part is to rub the Word (meditate, dig, declare, imagine until our spirits are ablaze).
The reason why we have to do our portion is for it is part of the process of renewing the mind that will make us step into our corporate destiny (Romans 12). One spirit, one purpose, and one agenda! When this happens, we will experience God’s supernatural providence corporately!
Matthew 6:26, 30-33 (NASB1995) “Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
God proved the fulfillment of those verses to the Israelites in a supernatural way!
Exodus 16:4 (NIV) Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions.”
Deuteronomy 29:5 (NKJV) “And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet.”
I believe more and more that the demonstration of God’s supernatural sovereignty has a clear purpose, first of all, to free His people from the Egypt or Babylonian system. And at the same time, the Spirit gives us the courage of faith to step out of Egypt and focus on working on God’s agenda! Our part is to OBEY ONLY, the rest of God’s supernatural power will be with us.
Don’t be afraid to trust God 1000%! We should doubt and not believe in the world’s offer!
Proverbs 14:12 (NKJV) There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
Make sure our hearts are straight and alive to please God’s heart! Amen.
Ps. Steven Agustinus
