SUNDAY 05.10.14 MESSAGE: YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE GOD #TBJoshua Nothing can satisfy me until I experience God. It means satisfaction in life is not about money or other worldly possessions. You have to experience God. Until you experience God, there will be dissatisfaction in your life – a sense of hunger to know what life is all about, a desire to know what happens after life is over, that is, after death. When you have not experienced God, these are the thoughts that will continue to disturb you day and night. Age has nothing to do with death. You can be called at a young age, middle age or old age. When, how, what type of death? When you have experienced God, you will have answers to these. Those who are born of God, believers, born again, born from above, long to be there. This is how you know if you are born again. Here is a market; no matter how long you spend in the market, no matter the profits you gain, you cannot sleep there – you have to come home. It’s not a comfortable place to sleep, no matter how beautiful, profitable or good that market is. You must come home. The market is no man’s land. We know where we belong, where faith will be turned to sight. We say we walk by faith but there, faith will be turned to sight. Faith is expecting Jesus to do what He promised. Here we close our eyes; over there, we open them in the world of glory. When you are worried over when, how and what will happen after this life is over, know that your relationship with God is questionable. Those who have a good relationship with God long to be there. Those who maintain their relationship with God long to be with Him. Many of them always ask, “When am I going there? When will that be?” But for others, this is a place they don’t want to leave because they don’t know what will happen next. The desire to know what happens after this life is over – that is the thought in the hearts of those who have nowhere to go. Remember, tests and trials are meant for our belief. When an issue remains unchangeable, there is nothing we can do. The evidence of God in the life of a prophet, a minister of God, is acting with Him, knowing God’s opinion about himself and others. When you act with God, you will know God’s opinion about yourself and others. Anybody can gather a crowd, have branches or the largest church all over the world but not anyone can stand a trial without the help of God. What the crowd is mostly looking for is outward gifts but to keep this crowd in terms of tribulation, trials and tests, it takes God. You do not need God to bring a crowd together but to keep them when trials come, God must be involved.
