8 successive things God wants for you
============
1st } God wants to save you; and that you to follow Him.
The Word of God teaches us that without
JesusChrist everything was lost, and it is still lost. He says;
“For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”{Luke 19:10}
“Enter ye in at the strait gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be who go
in thereat. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” {Matthew 7: 13-14}
“I am the door; by Me, if any man enters in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”
”My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me. And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, who gave them to Me, is greater than all; and no man can pluck them out of My Father’s hand.”
{John 10: 9,27-29}
2nd. } God wants you to reach
spiritual perfection; and that you to have holiness.
Thus saith the Lord:
”Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in Heaven is perfect.” {Matthew 5:48}
Jesus, praying to the Father, He said to Him,
about us:
”And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them, that they may be one, even as We are one: I in them and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.” {John 17: 22,23}
The Apostle Peter exhorts us:
”As obedient children, do not fashion yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance, but as He who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of living, because it is written: “Be ye holy, for I am holy.” {1 Pedro 1:14-16}
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation …” {1 Peter 2: 9a}
3th } God willing, that after you've reached the previous two steps, you also to bring His Word, to other people, and so to create disciples of Him.
Apostle Peter goes on to say (continuation of
previous text):
“… a holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” {1 Peter 2: 9b}
Jesus exhorts us:
“…… Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned.” {Mark 16: 15,16}
“Go ye therefore and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Amen. {Matthew 28:19, 20}
4th. } God wants you to have a happy home, not lacking, but abundant; and that you be obedient to His Word that you can be saved of the spiritual death.
God's Word says:
“… shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh.” {Genesis 2: 24}
“… God created man in His own image, in the image of God created Him him; male and female created Him them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth.”
And God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in
which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you, it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat”; and it was so. And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was
very good …..” {Genesis 1: 27-31a}
”And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not
eat of it. For in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die.” {Genesis 2: 16-17}
5th. } God wants, that while you carrying His Word to others, you also bring to them His Peace:
Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. God's Word says [in the prophecy of Isaiah, 400 years before the birth of Christ]:
”For unto us a Child is born, unto us, a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called
Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace.” {Isaiah 9: 6}
Thus saith the Lord:
”These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world.” {John 16:33}
“Peace I leave with you; The peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.” {John 14:27}
”And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon it; if not, it shall return to you again.” {Luke 10: 5,6}
6to. } God wants you to be safe and healthy. God's Word by the apostles, teaches us:
“And when He had called unto Him His twelve disciples, He gave them power against unclean spirits to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.” {Matthew 10: 1}
“And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.” {Matthew 4:23}
“……..And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.” {Matthew 12: 15b}
" And Jesus went forth and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and He healed they're sick.” {Matthew 14:14}
Jesus exhorts us all, telling:
“Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” {Matthew 11:28}
7th. } God wants you to receive spiritual and material blessings also after to live the 6 previous points.
God's Word teaches us the following;
Give, and it shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down and shaken together and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete, therewith it shall be measured to you again.” {Luke 6:38}
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” {Matthew 7: 7-8}
Our God tells us some things about the point above, through the prophets;
“The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ saith the Lord of hosts.” {Haggai 2:8}
“If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up; thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. Then shalt thou
lay up gold as dust and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. Yea, the
Almighty shall be thy gold, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto Him, and He shall hear thee, …….” {Job 22: 23-27}
8th } God wants you to help everyone who needs you, both spiritually and in material goods, according to your capacities.
The Lord also teaches:
“……..Freely ye have received; freely give.”
” Give to him that asketh thee; and from him, that would borrow of thee, turn
not thou away.” {Matthew 10: 8b; 5:42}
“ …… “He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none. And he that hath meat, let him do likewise.” {Luke 3:11}
Words of God by Solomon
“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord, and that which he hath given, He will repay him again.”
“…….the righteous giveth and spareth not.”
“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack, but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse."
"When the wicked rise, men hide; but when they perish, the righteous increase.“ {Proverbs 19:17; 21:26; 28:27,28}
” Now may He that minister seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed is sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness, ye being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.” {2 Corinthians 9:10,11}
“Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days. Give a portion to seven and also to eight, for
thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.”
“He that observeth the wind shall not sow, and he that regardeth the clouds shall
not reap.” {Ecclesiastes 11:1,2,4}
“Give, and it shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down and shaken together and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete, therewith it shall be measured to you again.”{Luke 6:38}
