No human being is a
self-sustaining island. Relationships are pivotal to success but significantly,
relationships differ and are at different levels. There are relationships with
fellow human beings at different levels.
There is also the most important and
significant of relationships which is your relationship with God. Spiritual
relationships are more important than biological ones – Luke Chapter 17 verse
21, 23 verse 21. Relationship with God is critical. In this relationship,
humans generally take it for granted that God supplies every need of theirs
according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. This is true. God has been
and is still in the business of meeting the needs of humanity especially His
own. However, God also has needs which He expects humans to also meet. One of
such needs is to accord Him the respect He deserves from you as well as give
Him quality worship.
Beloved, God is great and mighty in
power and deeds. He created the entire universe and owns everything in the
Universe and everything including you and I are subject to Him. Therefore,
reverence and worship should flow spontaneously from our hearts to Him in
quality praise and adoration. This gladdens the heart of God. Sometimes,
challenges and what you consider competing priorities but which are not really
priorities may becloud your mental processes and you forget or decide not to
worship. Please repent and return to the place of deep reverential fear for God
and worship the King of kings and Lord of lords to whom all honor, glory and
power belongs.
Despite the challenges Joseph
experienced in Egypt, he chose the path of deep reverential fear for God
culminating in quality worship. Significantly and quite instructive is the fact
that Joseph succeeded beyond the expectations of those who hated him and sold
him into slavery. The biblical Daniel also chose the path of deep reverential
fear and worship despite death threats to his young life. God came through for
him and his enemies were silenced forever.
Beloved, the deep reverential fear of
God as well as quality worship to God always has rich dividends which cannot be
quantified. Therefore, make it a habit to always meet the needs of God before
meeting personal needs and the needs of other people. Do same for tithes and
offerings. Give tithes when due and give generous offerings to God. God knows how to reward you. He will always
supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Besides,
the blessings of the tithe are unquantifiable as stated in Malachi Chapters 2
verse 17, 3 verses 7 to 12 and Matthew Chapter 6 verse 11. They include - open
doors and abounding opportunities; the great blessings of unparallel divine
favor, exceptionally excellent skills and expertise, uncommon wisdom, divinely
connected contacts designed to move you to the next level, divine and abounding
provision, overflowing abundance, unlimited supplies, and no shortfalls so that
you will not have room enough to receive the blessings of God.
God will rebuke the devourer for your sake. That is to say
that there will be no satanic blockades and limitations, no ill health, ill will, envy and hatred, rather
affirmation, approval, favor, promotion, no curses allowed, no hexes,
divination, enchantment, spells and sorcery against you by the enemy and his
cohorts.
