When God says something, it will come to pass as He said it would. The Word of God has the power of transformation. Let us expect great things in our lives. We must long for this. God wants you to be brought into His presence so that He can work in you. We must dedicate ourselves to the Lord. As long as we abide in Him, He is with us.
We cannot remain the same. "... until the whole of the Gentiles have entered." (Romans 11:25) This is not entering a church, but the Body. One enters the Body through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. The coming of the Lord is so close. "But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that this day should overtake you as a thief;" (1 Thessalonians 5:4) God is not looking for church members but He wants you to be in the Body of Christ.
Isaiah 43:1-7
God gathers His own chosen people. It is God who brings and leads His people. Never compare yourself to others, you are different. Compare yourself to the Word of God. Abraham did not compare himself to others, but to what God had told him.
2 Peter 1:3-10
If God has called you, if God has chosen you, you must hold fast to what He has called you to do. What does the Lord want me to do? There are things that a chosen one must do, I cannot remain sterile and idle.
1 Thessalonians 1:2-5
A chosen one stands firm in what he believes and perseveres in the truth. Paul could say, "But I treat my body harshly and hold it in subjection" (1 Corinthians 9:27). A chosen one must influence others in a positive way. The elect is always positive, never negative. "Therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with the bowels of mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience." (Colossians 3:12) When we are aware of what God has done with us, our attitude is different. We are called to build for God, that everyone may stand up and build. When King Darius called to build the temple, whoever felt concerned came. You have to feel concerned in God's work. Everyone must take care of what God has given him. What has God asked you to do? Before looking at the other, look at yourself first. You must put into practice the Word of God. You think it will come by itself, so why does God ask you to "Love one another" (John 13:34)? When you are hungry, God gives you the meat. But if you wait, you will never eat. God gave you the hands to prepare the meat. "Make every effort to join your faith with righteousness, ..." (2 Peter 1:5) Satan will always fight you so that you cannot put the Word of God into practice. You don't pray, you don't come to church, and because you are an elect, you tell yourself you are going to leave? You despise the fellowship, that's how the devil teaches you. When God has said something, we must stay in God's mind. "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and have revealed them to children." (Matthew 11:25) This is revelation. "By the grace given to me, I say to each of you, do not think of yourselves too highly, but think lowly, according to the measure of faith that God has given to each of you. (Romans 12:3) How can God give shape to the clay, when the clay commands the Potter? It is necessary to be aware of what God is doing with us. It is a grace of what God has made of us. God has picked us up from the dirt. "And humility goes before glory." (Proverbs 15:33) If we put on this humility, you will still see great things.
Haggai 2:1-9
You can realize what God is going to do and what He has already started to do in our midst. You will not lack anything, He will take care of you. "Give me neither poverty nor riches; give me the bread I need. Lest I deny you in my abundance and say, 'Who is the Lord? Or in poverty I will steal, And attack the name of my God." (Proverbs 30:8-9) All who gave themselves to the Lord, in whatever they undertook, God made fruitful. Look at Jacob at Laban's house. As long as you are in the way that God has placed you, you will not lack anything. When you want to do something, put God first. The greatest wealth is the Word of God. It is the most precious thing we have. God can do a lot with you. God can give you millions, but He doesn't because He knows that if He does that, you won't be seen in church anymore. God knows you can't miss, He will take care of you.
Let's let God do it. Let's have faith and God will act!
