Today, I’ll be talking about God’s relationship with Himself. Have you ever heard anyone say this? 😊 Well, you just did. Disclaimer: This may rub some of you the wrong way but it is truth and I have included Bible verses to prove it. .
.
God loves Himself enough to:
1. HAVE BOUNDARIES FOR HIMSELF:
.
.
Everything God created, He created with boundaries and “their place.” They each look up to or give space for another. For instance, seas on land (Job 38:8-11), light and darkness (Job 38:19-20), husband and wife (Genesis 3:16), wife and husband (Mal. 2:13-16), etc. .
.
For Himself, you already know that sin separates Him from us (Isaiah 59:2). He loves us and will do anything for us: gave His Son. But once sin covers us, He cannot be near us. THAT is His boundary in relation to us: SIN. Isaiah 52:11, 2 Cor. 6:17.
.
.
What is sin? Read Gal. 5:19-21. It includes lacking love (Matthew 22:36-40) at any time of the day towards your spouse, parent, child, sibling, believer, anyone really. Read 1 cor 13 for love. So, until you make peace with them, that is show God you’re a peacemaker (Matthew 5:24), He will accept no offering from you: not prayer, not fasting, not gifts.
.
.
SIN = “Don’t talk to me until you clean up in the name of Jesus in obedience”, says Father.
.
.
2. HATE HYPOCRISY:
Some of us will say: I speak in tongues. I pray daily. I give to the poor. I fast weekly. I go to church on Sundays. God is giving me money. Maybe your money is the result of your hardwork: a natural rule of earth. Work & eat.
.
.
If you refuse to forgive a person that God Himself created, you are telling God Himself: “I cannot forgive You.” Matthew 25:40-45. So, when you come with your gift, He is looking at you like “you said you won’t forgive me and yet you bring me a gift? You double minded person? Depart from me!”
.
.
3. REST!
God gave Himself a Sabbath and extended it to us. Genesis 1.
God’s people perish for lack of knowledge. Know and don’t be ignored in #2020. Love God HIS WAY not yours.
.

I love you!
