Sitting at His feet

Some months ago, I wrote a post on how our posture before the Lord eventually determines how our relationship with Him will turn out.

As a Christian, the best place to be is at the feet of the Lord. 

When we find ourselves at the feet of the Lord, we are pushed to worship because we see a glimpse of His beauty. We are pushed to worship because we stand in awe of His magnificence. Being at His feet humbles us because we understand how big He is and how small we are. Being at His feet allows us to appreciate His greatness more and pushes us to praise Him (because such a big God is fully invested in our personal lives and daily affairs). Additionally, when at His feet, we are blessed with direct revelations from the Lord concerning our lives and those around us.

Sitting at the feet of Jesus is synonymous to spending quality time with the Lord. Sitting at His feet isn’t a rushed process but one that requires all your attention. We must intentionally make time to spend time in this secret place where we humble ourselves and allow the Spirit of God to lead us into that place of intimacy.

Spending your time with Jesus is the best thing you could ever do for yourself.

I pray that we’ll be like Mary in Luke 10:38-39 ( TPT)

“As Jesus and the disciples continued on their journey, they came to a village where a woman welcomed Jesus into her home. Her name was Martha and she had a sister named Mary. Mary sat down attentively before the Master, absorbing every revelation he shared.”

Simple thoughts pt.4

This narrative of “ live for yourself, prioritise yourself” is the exact opposite of what the Lord planned. Human beings have convinced themselves that they are their own gods. We have managed to deceive ourselves that we have it all under control but if that was the case the pandemic wouldn’t have turned out the way it did. We didn’t even create ourselves, we don’t even have control of what is going to happen in the next second but we think we can run our own lives. The devil has managed to make this world darker, allowing more people to stumble and unable to see the horrendous end they face because of their lifestyles. I usually try to be as positive as possible but I won’t be quiet when the devil is making us do the very things Paul tells us not to do in Galatians 5:16 ( gratifying the desires of the flesh). We no longer care about how the Holy Spirit may feel about our actions but as long as we are happy and mentally stable, everything’s fine.

Since when was that a thing?

We have become so desensitised to the Spirit of God that even when our actions and thoughts grieve Him deeply, we don’t know. Lord, have mercy.

---

You should not live for yourself. Live for Jesus Christ. Pick up your cross daily and surrender yourself to Him. Allow the Spirit of God to live through you.

Have a lovely day!

Why?

John 1:38a(NKJV)

"Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?”"

Kindly read John 1:35-38 to understand why this question was asked. ( click me to read!)

---

The first words of the Messiah recorded in the Gospels:

“What do you seek?”

---

• What do you genuinely want from the Lord?

• What do you sincerely desire from God?

These are questions we must ask ourselves.

This is why I follow Jesus.

I follow Him because I just want to be with Him. In His presence, I feel at home. At His feet is where I belong. He blesses me materialistically, He heals me and delivers me but those are not the main reasons I remain in Him. I just want Him. My heart beats for His glory and having communion with Him brings me true peace and joy. My desire is to love Him more and more and this desire has only been given to me by the Helper, the precious Holy Spirit. He places within me a hunger that can only be satisfied by the Lord Himself. He is the hunger and the food. I am a lover of Christ , a part of His beautiful bride and nothing will ever change that. Before all other titles bestowed upon me, I am a person who stands in awe of the Lord and longs for Him to be praised by all creation.

My eyes are fixed on Jesus and so should yours. Follow Jesus because you want to be with Him, in solitude, in that place of intimacy and communion. We are often in a rush when it comes to relating with God. It’s as though we are in a give and take relationship, whereby He relieves you of anxiety so you pray an extra 5 minutes. But that shouldn’t be. You must spend time with Him even when nothing interesting is going on. Create a space where you and Him are just fellowshipping. Be still in His presence and watch Him reveal Himself to you and love you. God wants to be intimate with you so give Him space to do so and your life will never be the same.

Have a lovely day❤️

John 1:35-38

35 Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. 36 And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb of God!”

37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?”

They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), “where are You staying?”
