Revelations 3:20- “Behold , I stand at the door and knock.if anyone hears My voice and opens the door,I will come in him and dine with him, and he with Me.
Many a times God inspires us to do things that will qualify us for a breakthrough or blessing.He might inspire you to give an offering or fast for a number of days asking for a particular spiritual gift.
It was God who inspired Solomon in 1 Kings 3:3-4 to give a thousand burnt offerings so that He might give him a blank cheque, He told Solomon “Ask, what shall i give to you”? Because God was not done blessing Solomon , He inspired him again to up his offering to twenty-two thousands bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep in 1 Kings 8:62-64.After this offerings God promised to establish his kingdom over Israel forever.
The reason why God was inspiring this king was that , He really loved him . He inspired him to do things that will qualify him for major breakthroughs. Do you know that after those two offerings , Solomon never gave any offering again ? he simple refused to be inspired ? He began to invest in women instead. The bible says he had seven hundred wives,princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart - 1Kings 11:3.
Many of us are like Solomon refusing to be inspired by God. When we study the bible, there are things God has put in there to inspire us to benefit from His generosity for example tithes, offerings and first fruits.There are many of us who the Lord has been inspiring to begin to evangelize but we give excuses. There are many of his children He has been inspiring to bless a particular brother or sister and they are hesitant.
Is God inspiring you to take your Christian walk more serious? Is He inspiring you to give your life to Christ and you are refusing because you think you are too young? Is He inspiring you to start a kingdom project and you are hesitant? Solomon refused to be inspired by God and God stopped inspiring him.
Why was Jesus knocking in Revelations 3:20? He was inspiring us to open the door of our of hearts unto Him. Open the door of your heart to Him today and He will come in.
Prayer Point: Father , help me to yield to You when you inspire me to do anything .
