You must stay with God

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou salt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. – Joshua 1:8

Have you ever wondered what it would take to make it in these troubled times? Times when the economy is going south and people are losing their jobs and homes all around you?

How many of you know that no matter what goes down God loves you unconditionally with a steadfast love? If you make a covenant with God He will be sure to make a covenant with you. He promises that if you will obey His word and do all that He asks that He will make your way prosperous and have goodly success.

How many of you know that if God be for you who can stand against you? That if you obey His will there is nothing that you need that you can’t have? What God has for you is for you.

By seeking God’s face, His heart and His ways there is nothing good that you can’t have. But you have to be steadfast in the matter. You have to wait on God even when it don’t seem like things will ever change. You can’t give up on God and start sinning because then you will never see the blessing that He intended for you to have.

In Jeremiah 29:13 God says that He knows the plans that He have for you plans of good and not evil to give you a future a hope and an expected end. If you believe these words then you must stay with God. Stay with him even when you feel like all hope is gone. Stay with him when it seems like evil people are prospering in their ways. You have to make up in your mind that no matter what happens to you and what is going on in your life you are going to stay with God.

Psalms 46 says that we are to be still and know that He is God even though the mountains may flatten and fall into the sea. You have to make a choice to stay with Jesus. No falling down and getting back up about it. You have to stand and hold on to see the blessings of God come.

Nothing is achieved with a half-baked effort. You must give it your all to see the full potential of God’s blessing in your life. The Word says that eyes have not seen nor ears have heard the blessings that the Lord God have for those who are righteous. Not those who half step, but those who are righteous. If you are serious about pleasing God, 2011 will become your year of reaping the harvest of blessings he has in store for you.
