What will you give me?

This is very common question to all people, what will you give me? People of every class with no difference between caste, creed, color, language, nation, educated and illiterate, from gangsters to employees, from business world to crime world. . . . . . Every one has this common question WHAT WILL YOU GIVE ME?

Even in family we see this question at work, wives in the house ask their husbands what will you give me? Children ask their parents what you will give me if I score good marks in exam.

This is exactly Judas Iscariot asked, one of the twelve. He went to the chief priests and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty silver coins. From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over. (Matt 26:14-15)

He sold Jesus for 30 silver coins, today what are you selling Jesus for? Following Jesus means denying yourself (means who you are and what you like/ desire) and taking up the cross and following Him, whether He blessed you or no! When you say I am a disciple of Jesus than it is not about you, your ministry, your fame, your publicity, your networks, not meetings, you’re gifting, noting about you but all about Him (Jesus Christ).

Today we see some men of God go on advertising about their ministry, their meetings, their gifting, their skills, their talents, and their knowledge. As a man and woman of God you have to ask yourself a question, “in everything that I am doing is Jesus is displayed to the world”?  If it’s not, than you have to think seriously.

When Judas, who had betrayed Jesus, saw that He was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.” So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself. (Matt 27:3-5)

Do not seek and serve God for all your self centered needs, God has given you all you have because He wants you to glorify Him and give it back to Him as a offering. Let our motives be clear in seeking and serving God. Your anointing and gifting can be a snare to you if you don’t use them the way it has to be used. Bible talks about so many people who misused the call of God, authority of God and anointing, were doomed.

Seek Him because you love Him. Matt 6:33: Seek the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all things will be added to you. Don’t run after them they will come anyway.

As you read this I pray that God will give you grace to love Him and follow Him everyday, whether He blesses you or no, whether He uses you or no in Jesus name.

Blessings and love,
