Should He fail in that, man issues Him a query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This God exists for the sake of man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a Christianity on the earth today that is all about man. It is man centred, man focused, man driven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this version of Christianity, God is a means to an end, man&#8217;s (physical, material &amp; spiritual) enrichment, wellness, elevation, preservation &amp; fulfilment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this version of Christianity, everything we do is a means to that same end: &#8211;<br \/>&#8211; our praying<br \/>&#8211; our fasting<br \/>&#8211; our bible studying<br \/>&#8211; our singing<br \/>&#8211; our programs<br \/>&#8211; our giving<br \/>&#8211; our ministries&#8230;<br \/>Everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a clime where virtually all of man&#8217;s basic needs are met, this God has no relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our own clime, if government provides all of man&#8217;s basic needs, (I dare say) 95% of adherents of this version of Christianity will renounce their faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The God of this order of Christianity is not very different from an Arabian genie: invoke the genie and it is there to do your bidding. It gives you no conditions It places no demands on you to change. It cannot refuse your request, It is your servant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does this describe your God? Are you in that version of Christianity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Creator, Purchaser &amp; Sustainer calls you today.<br \/>He made you for His own pleasure, not to run errands for you. He paid a high price to reclaim your soul for His own purpose He sustains the very breath in your nostrils.<br \/>He created you, you did not create Him<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every created thing serves the purpose of His Creator, Quit from your own plans, purposes &amp; pursuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give it all up Bow your knees in surrender, Tell Him, you surrender to His purpose.<br \/>For it&#8217;s only in His will that you&#8217;re free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, intently seek His purpose It&#8217;s not found on the surface. You won&#8217;t get it just in one day. Be deliberate, be persistent, be focused, be absolutely sincere. Don&#8217;t quit. Every day. Running to weeks and months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call His name, touch Him with your spirit He is Spirit, He hears\/feels the cry of a spirit. He will come to you, Open your eyes to see His highest, noblest purpose. Show you your own place in its fulfilment in your generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#GodorGenie <br \/>#forHispleasure<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Gbemi Ade<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a Christianity on the earth today whose God has no other purpose than to serve man, bless man, forgive man, answer man&#8217;s prayers &amp; keep man from harm&#8217;s way.
