As humans and especially in the generation we live in... We have sources of joy, it might be a husband, a wife, kids or friends to relatives...
That is why, God gets rid of these sources and especially them that forsake Him when the source came in. The Bible and any man of God will tell you: He is a jealous God.
You cannot replace Him. The same Bible settles at: everything is vanity. So as long as you keep on pulling up different sources of joy, He'll keep on uprooting them while you cry, oh my husband left, my children forsake me, my partner is pulling out of business, someone I treasure in my life died and I also lost that contract and job that made me fulfilled and happy.
Seek ye the kingdom of God and everything else will be added unto you... This verse was not written by mistake. It means for you to seek the kingdom, you create a connection with God, you become a partner in the kingdom and a relationship is made.
This relationship is like a love life that has gone through thick and thin and still has stood. Now when everything is added to that relationship; a good wife, kids, friends, acquaintances, money and wealth, the relationship cannot be shaken. Because you have developed a habit of dropping anything that might get in the way of that relationship.
We have stored treasures in heaven, unclaimed goods that we shall be reminded, 'All this was yours my son/daughter, but you couldn't focus on them since your source of fulfilment, joy and happiness was settled on the wrong things. You were forcing the wrong tree to bear the right fruit. When I was teaching you humility, you were looking elsewhere. When I was teaching patience, you were leaning on your own understanding.
Throughout my life, I have had to wait for something to work, and in this waiting period I learnt something as I waited. Don't get me wrong, I have also had days when whatever I asked for, I was given before I opened my eyes. When I waited for Him to do it His way and not help Him do it, it was given to me and no one ever snatched it away. From my passion, to blogging to my career life, He's made me to “Be still and know He is God.” 😘
Whatever you need, He will provide immediately... Whatever you want, He will take you through the stages of acquiring it. Let's pray and ask God to help us seek Him as He sorts out our needs. Be blessed.
