Seek God first

God is the reason and everything else is added when you love Him

At the Church, paradoxically, some of the people who attend it never search for God because there is no difference between seeking God and seeking God`s favor. He does not condemn, the other way round, He invites especially those afflicted ones to seek Him. Jesus doesn`t invite the healthy and happy ones, but the bitter and overloaded ones. You need to understand that those who seek God, the Blesser, are much more blessed than those who seek the blessing. It's not wrong to seek blessing, but the best thing to do is to seek the Blesser. In 2 Chronicles 15.1 we can see what God did for the king Asa, who was about to be defeated fatally. God gave him the victory and prevented his humiliation, but that brought him power. The human being seeks victory, but when they win, they become infected by the "virus of victory", as if they were capable of anything. When submitted to God, the King Asa was afflicted, desperate. Usually, a person in this situation gets submitted to God. But after winning the victory, his heart was filled with pride. God, careful due to Asa and we, sent the Prophet to say that. If we turn away from God, He turns away from us too, but while we are with Him, He is with us. It's not wrong to seek cure, but one that touches the heart of God is the one who seeks God. In the House of Job, he and his wife sought God. When Job lost everything, there was separation and it was clear who was seeking the God of truth because the one who seeks God never shakes before difficulties and circumstances, he never needs a reason or reasons.

If so what brings you to God is what He does, there will come a time when you find you don't need God, your frequency will decrease, you will read less the Bible, will pray less, quit fasting and going to church. So was the King.

God's not going to leave you, but if you do, you`ll be away from Him. God must be above of your desires and projects for you to meet Him and see His glory in your life. The King Asa was losing, had reached the great goal of his life. Seeking God is to understand that God is much bigger than everything and anything or anyone than you need, He is more important than your projects and desires. The day you realize that God is far above all of what you desire, God will give you everything. Seeking God is one thing, getting the cure is something else. Ask Him for the cure; ask Him for the deliverance, it takes few seconds. But seeking God is to get humiliated, exalt Him, and recognize that God is the treasure of your life. If you seek God, your life will be filled with God`s anointment. Church, what I want is to see you happy, with your blessed family, with the doors open in your life with health, peace. But, for that, if I don't teach you how to seek God, it will be worthless; I can pray, fast, ask and you will always be in prostration. The day you learn that God is the cause, He is your treasure, that He is the One you need to seek, there will be many miracles. Israel just kept asking and for a long time was without the true God, and without law and only in anguish, when they turned to God, they found Him. Who loves Him never loves in vain, those who believe never believe in vain, and those who seek, never search in vain. Seek God.
