Never Take God For Granted!

And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.

If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts,

I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Malachi 2:1–2
 
Every act and favour of God need to be appreciated and acknowledged.

When you take any act of God for granted, it becomes a curse. You will not suffer curses!

...This commandment is for you... Acknowledging God is a commandment.

If you do not lay it to heart to give glory to His name for every goodness and mercy you enjoy, He will send a curse upon you.

In fact, He said, "...Yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart." 

You do not acknowledge Him by mere words of the mouth. It is not even saying it simply because everybody else is saying it.

You have to mean what you're saying from the depth of your heart.

Every favour you do not appreciate God for depreciates, and every blessing whose source you don't acknowledge, disappears.

God is faithful and cannot deny Himself. When I think of all that He has done in my life and ministry, I am amazed.

More so as I can't remember ever asking Him to do them.

This moves me to quickly acknowledge that He alone is the One in charge!

I can't raise even an ant (on my own), it's Him. It is purely by the hand of God. So we keep celebrating Him.

Our song has always been, "See what the Lord has done!" That is why the devil has continually been frustrated in his bid to pull down the work.

Never take God's faithfulness for granted. When you do, you will be grounded!

Always acknowledge that He did it all. Each time you see very strange acts, quickly acknowledge, "This is purely the hand of God!"

He said, "...Lay it to heart." Just as only hearty prayers get across to God, only hearty praises move Him.

Announce to Him continually, "Lord, I recognise that You are the One that has made the difference in my life."

For every little increase you see in your business, go into your room and sing praises to Him. That is my secret.

I don't ask Him for anything. I just dance, dance and dance before Him! So, He just keeps dazing me with His blessings.

Once I asked Him, "Won't You even let someone pray before You answer?"

His reply was, "There are people that before they call, I answer, and while they are yet speaking, I perform."

When you can see and acknowledge Him for what He has done, you provoke Him to do more.

For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them:

but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. Psalm 44:3 
 
Our experience of terrific victories and triumphs in our ministry has been by reason of His favour. Kings bow to us, because of He that is in us.

Hallelujah

A Sinner's Prayer for Salvation and Baptism in the Holy Spirit

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says, "...whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21).

I am calling on You. I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10.

"If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." I do that now.

I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead.

I am now reborn! I am a Christian—a child of Almighty God! I am saved!

You also said in Your Word, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: HOW MUCH MORE shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:13).

I'm also asking You to fill me with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise God. I fully expect to speak with other tongues as You give me the utterance (Acts 2:4).

(Begin to praise God for filling you with the Holy Spirit. Speak those words and syllables you receive—not in your own language, but the language given to you by the Holy Spirit. You have to use your own voice. God will not force you to speak.)

Now you are a Spirit-filled believer. Continue with the blessing God has given you and pray in tongues each day. You'll never be the same!

Please share❤
