Motives
July 21st, 2008 — SniperListened to a message today on the expressing Faith through Love and it got me thinking on why we want the things we do,
I realized that sometimes we ask God stuff for the wrong reasons and that is why sometimes we don’t recieve answers to prayers. In as much as we desire a thing and ask him for it, our motives for asking are also important, are we asking for our own selfish reasons or because we truly want to be a blessing to people, Faith is a very powerful force, Bishop David Oyedepo described it as Powerful Force drawn from the Living Word to produce living proofs. It becomes meaningful only when it finds expression in us through love, this means we need to be moved by love and not because of our own selfish needs.
Father help me to think about others and not only about myself. Lord you thought of me above anything else, that was why you died for me. help me to be more like you. Amen
