THE TRAGEDY OF LOSING GODS PRESENCE

Do you want to overcome great problems? Do you want to fulfill your divine destiny? You need the POWER OF HIS PRESENCE. Many people doesn’t value what they have until they lose it. Let that loser not be YOU!

Have you ever wondered why there will be two people ministering in the same pulpit among the gathering of eagle, read the same scriptures, sing the same songs yet there will be one whose ministry will impact people more than the other?

The answer to the question is simple, The secret of success, victory and unusual exploits that a servants of God’s more things amazing lies in the fact that God’s presence is always with him/her.

Any Christian lacking the presence of God can never be victorious in any battle and also Losing God’s Presence attracts curses and reproach.

Israel promised God they would never forget their hour of deliverance, that their hearts would be His tent, His place to abide, that they would forever remember. This is daily communion. Isn’t that what you promised God when He saved you? You would give Him all your heart? Your body would be His temple? His Word would be your delight! You would always be thankful and prayerful!

But Israel ignored God’s presence and forgot His Word. And so it is today. God’s people have so little regard for his presence that they make no time or place for His Spirit. They seldom visit the secret closet of prayer, which is His habitation, His tent. Many quote the verse, For He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.(Hebrews 13:5) I HEAR YOU!

But read on verse 7 carries with it a command to heed God’s Word.

God’s presence is lost when the golden calf is erected, the way you do your job abandon God’s presence can be golden calf, God called the Israelites gathered around the golden calf a “stiff-necked people.” These Israelites represent a people who are not shut in with God, who provide no time or place for sweet communion with Him.

A people from whom the Spirit and presence of God departs is a people who will soon become consumed by idolatry. The Israelites dancing around the golden calf are not to be ridiculed.

The Christian is not to ask condescendingly, “How could they stoop so low? for the golden calf is still with us. What is the golden calf? It is a symbol. It represents a deep inner heart problem. It symbolizes a casual indifference to God’s commandments. By their actions the Israelites said, God can’t mean what He says! They simply did not take His warnings seriously.

Why did Israel become so nonchalant, so casual, so light-hearted and unafraid of God’s Word? Because the prophetic voice was gone. The thundering prophet was nowhere in sight. There was no holy man of God there at the moment to reprove them. Only Aaron, the soft-on-sin priest.

Moses was up on the mountain with God. So it is today. For the last 30 years there has come a permissive gospel. Prophets have just recently come forth. This lack of godly reproof has produced a casual indifference which allows the Christian to drink in filth without being convicted, to be indifferent to the study of God’s Word, to be nonchalant about prayer.

Yes, the golden calf is a spirit in the child of God, a spirit of indifference, it’s never too late, you can raise from your slumber, because wisdom is profitable to direct.
