Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
JEREMIAH 29 : 13 DO NOT ALLOW LIFE TO STEAL GOD’S TIME !! Make An Appointment With God .. And Then .. Keep It !! The one thing that this world most certainly does not lack, is the ability to provide you with a series of distractions that are deviously designed to drive as big a wedge as possible between you and God. The spirit of passivity is one of these distractions .. A spirit that rest upon you in an attempt to keep you from growing in the priceless knowledge of God. Passivity is like a poison within your relationship with God .. and .. You would be wise to deal very sternly with your flesh to resist the spirit of passivity .. Because !! You Making A Commitment To Spend Time With God Is As Serious A Commitment As Any You Will Ever Make !! Say for example that you suffered with a kidney disease .. Due to your illness you are required to undergo dialysis, and this in turn requires you to be at the hospital twice a week at 9:00 to receive your treatment. Now, would it be realistic to assume that you would accept an invitation to do anything else during your treatment times ? No !! .. You Would Not !! .. No matter how tempting .. No matter how appealing it may be .. No matter how much you want to accept the invitation .. You Would Not Do It .. Because .. You would know that your very life depends on you keeping your dialysis appointment. This Is Precisely How Serious YOU Should Be About Your Time With God !! Do Not Compromise !! The simple truth is that the very quality of your life is greatly impacted and affected by the time you spend with God !! .. Therefore .. That time should hold a place of high priority in your daily schedule !! God Is Available !! .. While this is an undeniably precious blessing .. If you allow the spirit of passivity to enter into your life, you may actually find yourself unintentionally taking advantage of this truth. Because you know that God is always available .. Because you know that God will always be there for you .. You may become a little sluggish in keeping your appointment with God. At times you reschedule God’s time, at other times you may even skip your appointment with God entirely, in order to attend to something that seems more urgent at the time. Here Is A Little Something To Ponder Over .. Is It Possible Perhaps, That If You Dedicated More “Priority Time” With God, That You May Not Be Bombarded With An Endless Amount Of “Urgent Issues” That Tend To Rob You Of Your Time !! Make An Appointment With God .. And More Importantly .. Keep It !! It is vitally important for you to understand that when you commit to spending time with God .. Even if you are unable to feel His presence .. Or .. You feel as though you are not learning anything .. The reality is that what you are doing is sowing good seeds into your life, seeds that will produce a Godly harvest in your life !! With your dedication and your constant persistence .. You will enter into a place where you understand more of God .. Where you enjoy intimate fellowship with Him .. Where you engage in deep conversation with Him .. And .. Where you hear His still, small voice. If You Search For God .. You Will Find Him !! However .. Nobody can do the searching on your behalf !! .. The responsibility lies in your hands !! So .. You stand faith-filled .. You be bold .. You resist the spirit of passivity in your life and do not allow anyone or anything to keep you from spending quality, priority time with God !! Keep Your Appointment !! !! GOD DOES NOT DEAL WITH THE FRUITS .. HE DEALS WITH THE ROOTS WHEN GOD GETS TO THE ROOT OF YOUR PROBLEM .. HE CAN MAKE YOU PRODUCE
