Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
God Will Check You Out
Scripture.
Genesis 22:1-2 KJV
"And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. [2] And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of".
Message:
I want you to know that, God checks us out at different times through instruction. God can check out what it is that is in your heart on the basis of an instruction. For example, God checked out king Saul in I Samuel by a simple instruction. God asked him to go and kill the Amalekites and their king and everything. He was warned not to spare any animal or person but he failed.
The depth of your love for God will determine the level at which you obey His instruction. Jesus said in John 14:15 KJV that, "If ye love me, keep my commandments". Your love for God will be shown in how you are prompt to keep His commandments and instructions. Your love and value for God is proportionate to your obedience to His instructions, it determines what you can release for His sake.
From our anchor scripture, God wanted to check out the place where He is occupying in the life of Abraham, and he asked for the only son that Abraham loved. Where you put God or the place that God is occupying in your heart will be revealed during tests and trials like this. God does not tempt man with evil, but he comes at different times to see what value He is worth in your heart. You must pass this test if you will go far with God.
There are believers who value fellow human beings than God, others value material possession than God and can do anything anti-God to get such possession. Many will break spiritual principles just to appear right before men. God wanted to see who Abraham would choose between his son Isaac and Himself (God) that gave the son. God wanted to see whether what He gave Abraham had become an idol to him.
Prayers and Counsel
Counsel.
(1) Many have failed the God that gave them their material possession, not considering the fact that, the God that gave them Isaac can raise him up or give him another.
(2) God will always come to check those things He gave you that you love. He will check if it has become an idol to you. You must pass this test if you will go far with God.
Prayer.
Father help me to love and value you more than myself, everyone and everything, in Jesus name.
