CLOSER WALK WITH JESUS!
Stella Dhinakaran
My dearly Beloved,
The world today is so deceptive that we fall prey to the distractions it offers us, knowingly or unknowingly. Success to us means a life of riches and luxury. Many of us chase success and try everything under the sun to please our superiors in the office to climb the ladder of success. However, the truth is success should follow us not the other way round. The secret to this is to seek Jesus till you find Him. Let us see in the Bible what Jesus says about it.
In Luke 10:42, Jesus says Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her. This is the story of two sisters, Mary and Martha. They both loved the Lord very much. However their approach towards pleasing Him was poles apart. Martha invited the Lord and struggled in her own strength to prepare the best of cuisine for Him; while, Mary chose to sit at the Lords feet and hear His word. Who did the Lord appreciate? Definitely, Mary, as she chose to be with the Lord.
Jesus says in John 8:12, I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. When you allow this light into your life, the Lords very presence would remove all the darkness in it and make you shine (II Corinthians 4:4; 4:6). Your prayers will reach the throne of the Lord, and He will grant you, your hearts desire. Even your enemies will be at peace with you. I say this from my own experience when I was rejected by my family for accepting the Lord Jesus as my Savior. However, undeterred and determined, my husband and I fasted and prayed for my familys salvation. The Lord of salvation walked into my family and saved them. The Lord rewarded me by honoring me greatly.
Beloved, today, ask yourself this question? Do I have a close communion with the Lord or am I seeking the pleasures of this world? Am I a God-pleaser or people-pleaser? If you want to walk the path of success and peace, choose to have a close fellowship with the Lord. Seek him with all your heart, soul, spirit, mind and body till you find Him. Once you do, His ways will be your ways, His thoughts yours and prosperity will come searching for you. Confess all your shortcomings today and chose to walk closely walk with Jesus. Live a life pleasing to Him and the Lord will walk into your family too and save them.
Prayer
Loving Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus, this day onward I choose to have a closer walk with You like Mary. Forgive me for walking in the ways of the world thus so far. Forgive me for trusting on my own strength. Lord, I realize I am nothing without You. As I take a closer walk with You, help me to find You. I want to live a life pleasing to You and You alone all the days of my life. I need Your help O Lord. Father, walk into my family too and let Your salvation be theirs also. Thank You Master!
In Jesus Name
Amen!
