BEING INDEPENDENT

Matthew 4:1-4

I find myself repeating these words which i have heard before during service as this portion of scripture came into my mind as i was speaking in cell group last night.

Jesus had fasted for for 40 days and 40 nights, now He was hungry...
The devil came to tempt him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

Jesus answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."

What is the problem here?

Jesus had finished fasting and now he's hungry. He knew he had the power to turn the stone into bread too. So what is the problem?

The problem is when we learn to act on our own INDEPENDENTLY!!
The moment we know we have the power to do what we can do and achieve then we feel there is not need to be DEPENDENT ON HIM.

I find it surprising as within me i could not comprehend such thought of being independent...
No longer ABIDING/DEPENDING on YOU is a thought i just can't accept!!
I actually find myself saying that such thought of "Being INDEPENDENT and acting on our own" is an EVIL thought!!!

What can we have when all that we have is given by You.
The very life that I live is YOURS!

We are never meant to be apart! Living as a separate entity independently!
I'm to always ABIDE and REMAIN in YOU.
I'm TO BE IN ONE with YOU!!

Be HIS SON

Jesus prayer is "father i pray that where i am they may be with me also"
Before that statement came , Jesus prayed "that they all be ONE as You, Father, are in me and I in You, tat they also maybe one in US..."
If you read that portion you would find Jesus repeating the word "in ONE or be ONE" about five times in those four verses. John 17:20-23
I can only know is that I'm to be in ONE in HIM because we are never meant to live independently but to be in ONE in Him..
That's why to be with Him one must first know how to be in ONE in Him ....
Then we can be with Jesus, standing with Him before the Father as SONS and rule and reign with Him.

The more I talk about all these the more I find myself running on this centrality of theme which is in His heart that is........
All God wants is for us to BE HIS SON!!

God is not looking for ministers or preachers...
All He wants is for us to be HIS BELOVED and TRUE SONS just like JESUS CHRIST.

I'M BACK!

After such a long period, i'm back in posting my entire back here. It's not because You have stopped speaking but I have not been able to just post it in but i did write down....
I shall add in all my entries which i have compiled.
