CAN GOD VOUCH FOR YOU?
Good morning my fellow parishioners @Steemchurch. I greet our leader @sirknight,also greeting my people from Nigeria, Ghana and Venezuela. Happy weekend to you all,,,this is the end of another week in the month of October and before we know it,we are into another month.
My topic this morning is something we need to really look into and think about it then have a final decision to follow God. Can God vouch for you?
To vouch on a person simply means to trust in that person 100% that he can do this or not. Before you can do that,it means you have studied the person very well and knows what he is capable of doing without him or her disappointing you. There are two people in the Bible I would say God vouched for and I will be talking about them.
ABRAHAM
Genesis 18:18-19,
"Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation,and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in Him? For I know him,that he will command his children and his household after him,and they shall keep the way of the Lord,to do justice and judgement;that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him"
Abraham was a friend of God and lover of Him,,,His ways are of the Lord and he trusted God so much,,,he served God all the days of his life and with this,,,God made him father of many nations,,,God was rest assured that He knows Abraham will train his children the ways of the Lord and God knew he can do that. God has seen Abraham and have known what he can do that was why He was able to say that Abraham will train his children in the way of the Lord.
Another person in the Bible was Job,,oh I love this man. Job was also a friend of God,,no one cannot just be a friend of God without knowing Him,,you need to live a holy life and serve God all your life before you can be qualified to be His friend. He has many properties and was so rich that Satan became jealous of him. Then oneday Satan was going around the earth when God saw him and asked him what he has come to do.
Job 1:7-8
"And the LORD said unto Satan,Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD,and said,From going to and fro in the earth,and from walking up and down in it. And the LORD said unto Satan,Hast thou considered my servant Job,that there is none like him in the earth,a perfect and an upright man,one that feareth God,and escheweth evil?"
God actually was proud of Job and vouched for him in the presence of Satan,,God has already checked Job and knew about him,that was why He quickly showed him off to Satan. Satan thought it was because of the wealth and riches God gave to him that made him love God to that extent but when test was put to him,all his wealth and children went the same day but still he served God the more and God was so happy with this. Even he never listened to his wife when she told him to curse God and die,,,but what did God did? He restore to Him all what he has lost.
Can God vouch for you? Can He trust you? These are questions you need to ask yourself,even if God vouch for you,can you stand the test and never disappoint Him? Before God can vouch for you,holiness must be found in you.
Living a holy life should be your watchword,,a life that should please God like Abraham and Job. The Bible says those that must worship Him must do so in spirit and in truth. Sin cannot make God vouch for you. Stay away from sin and allow God trust you in everything you do.
