Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
Following God Intentionally
Scripture.
Luke 9:23 KJV
"And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me".
Message:
It is important to note that, once a person understands self denial and the matter of taking up of the cross daily, it will be easy to follow God. People find it hard and uncomprehendable to follow God just because they don't want to deny themselves and just want to stick with their will.
It is impossible to hold on to your will, to your personal desires and decisions, to immediate gratification and still be able to follow God. If you are going to follow God, you must be intentional about it, you must be deliberate about it. You must be sensitive enough to the voice of God, ready to listen, submit and obey Him no matter what it cost.
You can't follow God and not pay the price of forfeiting certain personal desires, choices and things. Enoch walked with God to the point that God was touched and just wanted Enoch personally around, God had to take him to Himself. It is as we follow God that we are made, many times He allows us into the furnace of fire, so that we can be moulded, pruned and formed into what He desire.
Never wait to understand the voice of God, once you hear and you are 100% sure and convinced that it is God speaking, take a step of faith and move with Him. People who wait to understand everything usually miss out on many things. Our making is in our following of God, it is as we submit and follow that we are formed into what He wants us to be.
When baking flour submits to the caterer, different ingredients are added to it and then it is placed in the oven. No one is interested in it initially, but after it comes out of the oven, everyone turns to check it out eventually. If you pass in the environment of a freshly made cake from the oven, the smell alone is attractive and commands attention. This is a little picture of how you can come out as you follow God. You will not fail.
