TEXT;
JEREMIAH 29:13
“You
will seek me and find me when you seek me with ALL your heart.”
Seeking involves committing yourself with
all seriousness to discover a particular thing. The result of your discovery
depends on the level of commitment and zealousness you put into what you are
seeking. If you commit quality time and resources, you will achieve greatly
than a person that committed little or no effort. The length and the amount of
time spent in seeking something makes a great difference in the result you
would get. God made us to know how we can seek and find Him “You will seek and FIND ME when you seek me
WITH ALL YOUR HEART.” Therefore if you want to seek
and find God, you need to seek Him with all your heart. Seeking God is not what
you can do in a hurry, you need to commit your body, soul, and spirit and it
has to be a continuous exercise. As long as you are still breathing you cannot
have enough of Him! Therefore it is advisable to seek Him daily.
Some people only see the need to seek God when there is a
problem, when they have a need to be met they come seeking God. This is wrong! Because they are not seeking God with all their hearts. They came seeking
because of their needs, they want the gift but they are not interested in the
giver of the gift. There are another set of people; they seek God when things are
working well for them, if they encounter any problem along the line; they will turn
their back against God believing that God has disappointed them.
Seeking God with all your heart means that in good and bad
situation, you will not change your mind against God. This can be done when you
are not serving Him for all the benefits you would get from Him, rather for Him
being your creator, your Lord and your Saviour.
To seek God with all your heart you have to prioritise Him above every other thing, study and live in obedience of His word. Trust him with all your heart and allow Him to lead you. Praise and worship Him and pray ceaselessly. Devote your time to love Him and spend quality time with Him, NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU WANT HIM TO DO FOR YOU, BUT BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS.
