*SPIRITUAL CHECK UP PT14*
*Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them*.
*Acts 16:6-10*.
We have said that one of the reasons that could have made God to be specially interested in Macedonia was their humility as a humble heart always attract the attention of God.
Today we will be looking at their faith in God which they expressed in the place of prayer and probably fasting which made God to personally choose Paul and Barnabas for them by making them to appear in their dream or vision.
*But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him*. *Heb 11:6*.
From the above scripture you will see the need why the Holy Spirit had to send them first to mecedonia.
1. Faith. It was with faith that they sought God which the bible says pleases God.
2. They came to God believing in that He is and that He is the solution to what they want.
3. They sought for God and He rewarded them with His presence.
4. They went to God either in prayer and fasting or only prayer but the most important thing is that they sought God.
*All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out*. *Jn 6:37*.
5. They asked for it.
*Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full*. *Jn 16:24*.
And as such they sought Him diligently in prayer and probably fasting making God to use them to invite Paul even in his dream.
Is God your priority? Do you feel the need for God first whenever you are in need and if so how do you seek God? Do you seek him diligently or anyhow? Infact do you even believe that he exit and that he will reward you whenever you seek Him. Remember that He is either the Lord of all or Lord of none.
I pray for you and with you today that anyone that you need to move to the next level may God reveal you to them in their dream and may that dream so convince them to the point that delaying to help you with keep them restless until they come to your aid in the name of Jesus.
Good day beloved and be glorified in all your ways today. Peace be with you.
To all of us celebrating anything today this is wishing you the best.
*COUNSEL*. Don't ever give up on your faith and never loose hope and be fervent in prayers and praise knowing that God, your father loves you specially and will never leave you nor forsake you.
*MY INTEREST* is to *EXHORT* you so that God will *EXALT* so that the devil will not *EXHAUST* you.
