The kingdom of God requires effort
The kingdom of God requires effort Rarely the children of God think about the blessings of God in an unlimited way. The majority of the time, they speak about the divine blessings and they even believe in this possibility because it is written in the Bible. but, in practice, for them, this is a dream without fulfilling. Not because God could not do it, but, because they do not believe that He could. This happens because of the absence of the vision of the greatness of God has tied up the faith of many good people. People who keep the expectation of a particular prediction or of a “revelation in their dream. God has no interest in doing small things. He is “impeded” of doing such things because of the nature He has. Using an informal language, I would say that “it looks bad” for such a big God to do such small things. On the other hand, according to His personal project, God needs associates of this world to carry out His great work. When He finds someone faithful and willing to do everything to put in practice His inspiration, then, it is impossible for big and monumental things not to happen for His honor and glory. It was like this with Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Israel, David, Elisha, Elysian, in the end, with all the big heroes of faith of the past. God used them in their respective times. But: whom will He want to use nowadays? Only those who are ready to deposit everything they are, everything they want to be and everything they possess or that they will possess in His altar. Who has this quality of faith to give, will receive the plenitude that He is and what He has. What I want to say is that there are no limits for those who believes in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. Also, if the children of the darkness are capable of glorifying the devil, doing big things in this world, the children of God have a greater obligation. Nobody depends on anybody, much less a social or intellectual condition to be someone in this world. It is written that “But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong (1 Corinthians 1:27) Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38) the same way one offers on the altar of God, he will also receive. Whoever offers part of himself cannot expect all of God. It is not just to offer everything of yourself and only receive part of God. The Lord cannot commit injustices. Everyone is justified or deserving in accordance with their own faith. So, everyone receives in accordance with what he gives. The one who has courage to surrender assembles merits to receive the award of the rewarder. This was exactly what happened with Zacchaeus. Jesus did not ask him for anything, but, by his free will, he gave everything that he possessed, and immediately, the Lord rewarded Zacchaeus with eternal Salvation. No cold, lukewarm, fallen or unsuccessful Christian can blame someone else for being like that. Each one is responsible for himself before God. Each one receives in accordance with their assumed and practiced faith. The Lord also teaches that the Kingdom of God is taken by effort, and only the brave take possession of the Kingdom of God. The indolent, inactive and well-off believers stay out. Because they stay in the expectation of feeling faith. but, faith does not make part of the soul, but of the spirit! The supernatural faith only steadies itself in the Word of God with intelligence: neither with feelings nor with emotions! The one who hopes to feel faith to then take an attitude will die waiting. |
