REASONS FOR SEEKING GOD

Topic: REASONS FOR SEEKING GOD

MEMORIZE: “But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul” Deuteronomy 4:29.

SCRIPTURE READING: Deuteronomy 4:29-32

“But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;  (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?”

EXPOSITION: 

Seeking God is to turn back to the world and its luring baits. To seek God means to say “Yes” to God and “No” to devil and worldliness. It is to seek the right path of the old, which is called the path of righteousness and holiness. The word of God gives us this promise: “But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul” Deuteronomy 4:29. 

REASONS FOR SEEKING GOD

The following are the reasons for seeking God:

1. To have more knowledge about Him

2. Him alone can deliver us

3. There are confusion everywhere (Isaiah 8:19)

4. Him alone is trustworthy (Isaiah 31:1)

5. God is always good to those who truly seek Him (Lamentation 3:25)

6. To turn His anger away from us (Zeph. 2:3) 

7. Seeking God truly attracts His Glorious Presence (Malachi 3:1)

8. To have eternal life (Amos 5:4-8)

BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF TRUE SEEKERS 

a. Abraham (Gen. 22:9)

b. Moses (Ex. 33:12-22, 29-33)

c. David (Ps. 27:4)

d. Elijah (1Kings 18:41-45)

e. Daniel (Dan. 9:2-4; Dan. 2:17-23)

f. Mary Magdalene and other Mary (Matt. 28:1-7)

g. Zachaeus (Luke 19:1-6) 

God cannot be deceived, He knows those who truly seek Him out of a pure heart and those who are deceiving themselves, you cannot hide from Him. (Isaiah 58:1-5) 

CONCLUSION: Those who seek God and find Him are those who truly search dip about Him. What are you still doing? (Jer. 29:13-14), What are the things holding you back not to serve your God from a sincere heart, this is just the right time for you to drop them and seek God out of a pure heart because those who did not seek and find God here cannot see Him at rapture. My prayer for you is as you have come to seek Him here today you will see Him in Jesus name. Remain blessed.

PRAYER POINT:

Lord, help me to obey You willingly and with the whole of my heart and walk in your way in Jesus name.
