LIVING LIFE FOR GOD
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a change, personally and prayerfully give a name to new month as: My month of LIVING FOR GOD.
\nGod is a good God. God\u2019s goodness is His blessing for man. Living life for God is the undeniable condition required by God for man to claim and gain the promises of God. Every promise in the word of God is certainly not going to become void, but man is consistent with voiding God\u2019s word. Isaiah 55:10-11<\/em><\/strong> recorded, \u201cFor as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Promises of God is in the word. Man\u2019s knowledge and understanding of God\u2019s word is a condition for man to claim and gain God\u2019s promise. Every promise in the word of God will not fail.
\nClearly, through the pages of the Bible, claiming the promises of God comes with condition (doing according to God\u2019s word). For example, book of Exodus 19:5 <\/em><\/strong>recorded, \u201cNow, therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.\u201d Deuteronomy 4:29 <\/em><\/strong>is another example condition of God for man to do and claim the promise of God. It is written, \u201cBut from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.\u201d Deuteronomy 6:17 <\/em><\/strong>also buttressed, \u201cYou shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>The verses above identified the condition to claim and gain the promise of God:
\nDo you have a testimony as one that is God\u2019s special?
\nIs your way of living life going to deliver the promise of God in your life?
\nDo you have the desire to be claiming and gaining from the promise of God which is in place for man? Word of God promised, \u201cAsk, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.\u201d (Matthew 7:7-8)
\n<\/em><\/strong>Jabez had the understanding with the knowledge to know and claim as promised in the word of God. Claiming the promise in the word of God demands God\u2019s condition.
\nTHE CASE OF JABEZ
\nThe meaning of Jabez\u2019s name was a pain. With understanding, he wanted a change of name for a better story of life, by living life for the glory of God. Word of God was not a secret for ones with the understanding and knowledge like Jabez. The promise of God for man in His word stated, \u201cWhat is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.\u201d (Psalm 8:4)<\/em><\/strong> With the understanding and the knowledge, to claim and gain was a knowing by Jabez that there is a crown with honor upon his life as recorded in God\u2019s promise.
\nJabez prayerfully asked from God to take away pain from his life. Jabez, with his understanding and his knowledge, demonstrated his meeting the condition to receive from God’s promise. It was a blessing from God to answer Jabez\u2019s prayer.
\nThe word of God is not empty but full of His promise. The condition to possess God’s promise is living life faithfully with understanding and knowledge.
\nAttending churches, claiming to be one with faith is not the same as one that is Faithfull.
\nTo be faith-full is the evidence of who work the works of God.
\nLive life for God to claim and gain to His promise to see Him. Prayerfully confess and give a name to new month as: My month of LIVING FOR GOD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
