« Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven »
18 And he (Moses) said, “Please, show me Your glory.”
19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”
20 But He said, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.”
21 And the Lord said, “Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock.
22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by.
23 Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.”
The question in our topic for today is one that invariably every human being will be asked at one point or another.
Some people have already been asked this question before and their answer made them lose an opportunity that would have changed their lives forever.
Your answer to this question, depending on who is asking you and can change your life for the better if you give the correct response.
- When God told Solomon to say what he wanted in 2 Chronicles 1:6-7, he asked for wisdom to lead God’s people right.
That answer made him end up as the richest and wisest king in the world, ever.
- When Elisha was asked this same question, he said he wanted a double portion of the spirit of Elijah and he got it.
What do you want?
- Esau wanted food; he got it, but he who could have become the nation of Israel missed that great destiny.
- Gehazi wanted money, he got it, but he could have gotten a double portion of the anointing of Elisha, instead h died a leper. Jeremiah 45:5 NLT says
« Are you seeking great things for yourself ? Don’t do it! I will bring great disaster upon all these people; but I will give you your life as a reward wherever you go. I, the LORD, have spoken!’” »
Ecclesiastes 1:2 says all these things are vanity upon vanity.
Jesus Christ told us what to seek in Matthew 6:33GWT
« But first, be concerned about God’s kingdom and what has His approval. Then all these things will be provided for you »
Seek God, seek that His kingdom be established here on earth.
Jeremiah 29:13 says if you seek Him, you will find Him.
Let your yearning be for Him and Him alone, then all the things that others are chasing will be chasing you.
Seek Him in worship, seek Him through Bible study, seek Him in prayers.
Set your love upon God.
Love Him with all your heart, soul and mind as Jesus instructed us in Matthew 22:37 and see if you will ever lack any good thing. Application – How desperately do you yearn for God?
