Today, the Father wants to teach you according to Lazarus’ history, amen? Open the Holy Bible in the book of John, chapter 11, and verse 4-6. “When Jesus heard that, He said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was.” Martha and Mary were Lazarus` sisters, and the three of them were Jesus’ friends. In Luke chapter 10, the Bible reports that the Messiah was at their home, Martha was very busy due to the house tasks and Mary was there together with Jesus, hearing and learning. So, Jesus told Martha: “And Jesus[a] answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her”, Luke 10: 41 - 42 Today, the Father wants to show our objective here on Earth. Our salvation is the most important thing; it has to be recalled in your heart everyday. The healing is a blessing, yes, but it can`t take the first place. Prosperity is a blessing, but it can`t be everything. The restoration is a blessing, yes, but it can`t be your aim. He prepared all of that for you, but the salvation of your soul has to come above all else.

God`s biggest wish is to see His children happy and living according to what the Holly Bible says, eating and drinking the best this land can provide, however, they come after salvation because that`s the only everlasting condition.

Coming back to Lazarus’ history, at the moment when Jesus became aware that Lazarus was sick He kept Himself where He was and just two days later He went to see him. It was not because He didn`t like him, but because He would make a miracle in that village. Lazarus had to die for Jesus to preach in that region, and after that, He would bring his friend`s life back. That`s the way it is in our lives too, the Father wants to perform a miracle in your life, but before that He wants to enter in your family`s life. He wants everyone to be saved. Before performing the miracle Jesus said: “Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying.[a] And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.” John 11:41. Jesus is God`s son, and He thanks the Lord Jesus had this moment for Him to preach the salvation, and just after that He told Lazarus to leave. Jesus allowed Lazarus’ death to happen for everyone to be able to receive the message because the main objective is the salvation and not the healing. Focus on seeking the Kingdom of Heaven and the rest He will do. If there is something disturbing you for you to seek the Father, give up on that because there is nothing more important than our salvation.
