32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
If you give yourself to God, you will be amazed what he will give you in return.
Falling in love is easy in most cases, because it
just happens. Remaining in love on the other hand, is a truly different story,
it requires work. There is no sweetness in a loveless relationship and
therefore any relationship worth keeping is worth investing in.
Man is called to KNOW God and Jesus Christ whom he
has sent. God put everything we need in life inside himself. That way, he could
give them to us when we need them. Unfortunalty sin came and separated us from
God and offered cheap substitutes to the original plan of utter greatness God had for man. Imagine man (ADAM) who had the abilitiy to
name all the animals and know their names, now we (man) with the same body and configuration now strugglesto remember up to ten phone numbers by heart. Mans greatest ability is revealed when we are
connected to God and that is what God wants us to have. Man was designed to remain connected with God and this is the
reason he sent Jesus Christ to die, cleanse us and connect us.
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Eternal life is knowing God
John
17:3 Now this
is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom
you have sent.
Knowing God is an ongoing process of relationship
and communication and in knowing God, lies all the riches of the power
of his Glory which is revealed in us as we become like him.
Luke 10:19 I
have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all
the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
One of the benefits of
eternal life is that we can worship God in the way he desires.
John 4:22-24
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

God Loves worship! And when we worship God amazing
things happen.
And without faith it is
impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he
exists and that he rewards those who
earnestly seek him.
Here are practical tips for getting your worship
going.
Key Tip: Remember to be present. Worship is one of the most amazing intimate activities we can have with God. It is important to have our minds on God.
Worship, just like praise and prayer can and should take place anywhere and anytime. As a result of this, sometimes it is difficult
to be present when we worship. One’s mind may stray to what to cook for dinner
even while still on his/her knees singing a ‘love’ song to God. Or in many
cases it becomes a time to excersize vocal cords and try different parts of the
song. Sometimes our minds may stray to worry or something stressing us. There
are so many things that try to creep into our minds when we are worshiping God.
But worship isn’t a song,
a tone of voice or a place. We worship God with our whole selves through our
spirit and the Holy Spirit.
TIP 2: Speak to the Holy Spirit, ask him to help you worship God. Take a deep breathe and clear your mind.
TIP 3: Whenever you catch your mind going places when you are worshiping God, just put your mind on him, think of how awesome his love is,
remember how he continues to love and save you, consciously fill your mind with thoughts of his greatness. Imagine his presence, how
mighty He is and how much he loves you. Make it all about him and even when
your voice sounds nice or coarse, evenwhen you remember something you are
supposed to do just don’t dwell on it.
Concentrate on your father who sent Jesus all
the way to suffer and die, JUST so that you may know him. Halleluyah! Let him
have your company, Jesus died to make that possible.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends...John 15:13
Remember that when we
interact with God, we become an the best versions of ourselves, great things
occur and heaven comes into our everyday lives (Miracles Happen).
TIP 4: Being present doesnt mean we cannot pray, worship or meditate on God's word all through the day. It just means that we need to be conscious of what we are doing, when we are doing it. In a relationship we need to be aware of the other person.
Dont be suprised when God talks back...it is so definite that he will. Infact, mix the Word, Worship and
Prayer into your everyday life and watch what happens.
Halleluyah!
Glory!
