I know that from the beginning of this year January, we have tried so many things to move God's hand over our lives.
But it seems it's not working. Good news, don't lose hope. Our God is a God of 11hr, He makes things work beyond human imagination.
I want us to know something tonight. Moving God's hand is deep. I will open our eyes to some things tonight by God helping us through His Spirit. You don't move God's hand by bribing Him
Men bribe men to get something but man can not bribe God to move His hand. You don't move God's hand by crying.
It is good to cry unto God, He will hear you, He will feel so emotional but that does move His hand. You don't move God's hand by religious things.
Ask the Pharisees and Sadducees 😊
You don't move God's hand by a hypocrite. You don't move God's hand by standing before Him as a man that knows ALL.
Many come before God in place of prayer as though they know the answer or keys to that issues but little do they know that GOD WAY IS NOT THE WAY OF MEN, AS HEAVEN IS FAR ABOVE THE EARTH, SO IS THE MOVE AND THOUGHT OF GOD.
You may think God will come through right and you will be shocked how He will come through left😉. You don't move God's hands by showing God that you are a man of prayer.
The Bible talks about two tax collector, one proves that he knows how to pray, to pay tithe and the other one come before God by acknowledging his sin. The Bible says the other tax collector who asked for mercy received mercy and was blessed.
You don't move God's hand by your TITLE. Coming before God with your title does not mean that you can move Him to do strange things. You don't move the hand of God by performing PRAYER RITUAL.
You only pray just to fulfill all righteousness. By doing this, you can move God. You don't move God's hand with a double mind. Those with double-minded will receive nothing from God.
You don't move God's hand by lack of faith. Faith is important in moving God's hand. You don't move God's hand by threatening Him.
Many believe that when they pray and also threaten Him, He will move.
Threatening like LORD I GIVE 3 DAYS, IF YOU DON'T SHOW UP ON MY CASE, I WILL NOT SERVE YOU AGAIN, WHICH MEANS YOU NEVER EXIST🤭🤭.
If God does it or not, He still remains God. You don't move God hands with gift or talent. That we know how to play the keyboard does not mean you will now tell God that GOD YOU KNOW I AM A KEYBOARDIST, YOU MUST DO THIS FOR ME.
What we don't understand here is, moving God's hand is calling Him to do what no man can do. Making Him arise and manifest His mightiness in our lives.
Solomon said NOW ARISE OH LORD, COME TO YOUR RESTING, YOU AND THE ACT OF YOUR MIGHT.
Those things mentioned above are what we do when we come before Him. They are the things we do when we want God to move for our sake.
We can move God's hands by
Worship
Praise
Prayer
Hunger to know Him more and all
Prayer is a strong tool to think straight and get blessed by the Almighty Allah.
May God give us power to pray at all time. Amen
