Topic: Be Wise!
Text: Galatians 3: 3
“Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?” Amen
The text above defines foolishness as beginning a thing with God and seeking to perfect it by human efforts.
Many times you find a believer wrestling in prayer for a particular thing, only for his relationship with God to change after having received that thing.
A young lady may spend sleepless nights beseeching God for a husband, only for her to begin to treasure the man when he has arrived, more than her God, who has proved Himself faithful in all things. She does everything in her power to satisfy the man and keep her marriage. Sidelining God until her efforts still proves inadequate to holding it all together.
A young unemployed man may battle in prayer until He gets his dream job, but then He gets so busy with his job that he forgets his God.
What more can we say about the believer who is seeking admission into school, the one believing God for financial breakthrough, the one trusting God for travelling mercies, promotion, or even some property of a sought? All these believers may seek God diligently, until they receive their hearts’ desires.
Beloved, please choose to be wise by allowing the One who has begun with you to be the same One who ends with you.
