REVELATION 2:4-5 THE MESSAGE BIBLE
"But you walked away from your first love, why?What's going on with you, anyway?Do you have any idea how far you've fallen?"
Life is uncertain, people are uncertain but is not the same with God our Father. When God wants us to mature, He will allow us to go through certain experiences and He will make sure that what He is trying to teach us we learn it, or else we'll have to go through the same experience time and again.
The same happened with Israelites in the wilderness. Eleven days sojourn turned into a 40 years.Because God wanted to test their hearts, what's in their hearts, were they a selfish people or love God for who He is.
Sometimes in our walk with God, unawares we may start depending on people or even idolising them, we may set our affection on them and now this is where the problems come in. For our God is a jealous God.What is jealousy?Many mistake jealousy with envy. Envy is what we desire that doesn't belong to us, for example someone's house, car etc however, jealousy is always about that belongs to us. And we belong to God so you see apart from God, nobody has the right to own or possess us or be even be possessive about us since neither we belong to us not to others.
A man may claim to love us, bring down stars and moon for us but how long?Only as long as you don't make him/her angry or do something that they might not like. Moreover, men may also fail because they are also like us and cannot be perfect. But there's only one who can neither fail nor is imperfect and that's our Abba, our dear Father and God.
No matter what you're going through,tears you're shedding, pain you're bearing, persecution you're undergoing, know one thing beloved GOD IS ABOVE ALL.Your pain, shame, hurt, rejection nothing can separate you from God. He is our Father. When we say Father, we mean source, because father is someone who's the source of something, initiator of something and guess what we all have originated from God - The Father and so in essence we truly belong to Him.
Return back to your source - your FIRST LOVE. For know one thing beloved that there's no rest out of God but you have best in God.
PRAYER: FATHER HELP US TO KEEP YOU ABOVE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE.AND UNCONSCIOUSLY ALSO IF WE HAVE MADE IDOLS MAY YOU BREAK THEM IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME. AMEN!!!
