DO WHAT GOD WANTS!
A very important part of Jesus’ teaching us to pray daily to God is the
words “MAY YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN
HEAVEN” [Mt 6:10 GN]. Some claiming to follow God, develop
followers by quoting scriptures to appeal to what people desire and
want, by appealing to people’s desire to “BE GREEDY”, by
appealing to people’s “PRIDE”, by appealing to people’s desire “TO
DO IMMORAL THINGS” [Mk 7:21-22 GN] and to other sinful
desires. Jesus teaches us that the person that will enter heaven is the
person “WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHO IS IN
HEAVEN” [Mt 7:21 NI] which may not always be our will or what
we want. Seeking to do God’s will is not an option. One of the
greatest warriors in history, King David, asked God, “Shall I go and
attack …” [2 Sa 5:19 NI] before going into battle against their
enemies even though he had been successful many times before
against their enemies. Unfortunately he neglected to consult God
before committing adultery. We need to seek to know and do what
God wants all the time not just some of the time. Jesus, God’s Son
and our role model, when faced with one of the biggest decisions of
His life on earth told God, “NOT WHAT I WANT, BUT WHAT
YOU WANT” [Mt 26:39 GN]. Not only should we pray daily for
what God wants to be done on earth and in our lives, just like what
He wants is done in heaven, we need to also be open to God’s
guidance or ask God what He wants in every aspect of our lives. We
need to totally “DENY” [Lk 9:23] ourselves and our wants and
submit to God 100%. Do you seek God's guidance all the time?
