Opening Scriptures
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
– Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)
1. Seeking God for Who He Is, Not Just His Blessings
God desires a relationship with us, not just occasional visits when we need something. When we seek Him diligently—not for blessings, but for His presence—we align our hearts with His. This brings not only rewards but a deeper understanding of His love and purpose for our lives.
2. Prayer and the Word: Pathways to Knowing God
Spiritual growth comes when we engage God intentionally through prayer and Scripture. Reading the Word isn’t about gaining information; it’s about revelation. In prayer, we learn to hear His voice, discern His guidance, and grow in intimacy with Him.
3. Diligence in Prayer: The Key to Spiritual Breakthroughs
The enemy fights hardest against our prayer life because he knows it’s the source of real spiritual transactions. Diligence in prayer unlocks breakthroughs and makes us strong for new exploits. Even in advanced years, prayer remains a powerful battlefield for spiritual victory.
4. Spiritual Authority as God’s Children
As children and heirs of God, we inherit power and authority through Christ. This isn’t just a title; it’s a call to live as representatives of His kingdom. Walking in obedience and being led by the Spirit solidifies our identity and equips us for God’s work.
5. The Role of Fasting and Intimacy with God
Seasons of prayer and fasting are opportunities to encounter God more deeply. Fasting is not about sacrifice for its own sake; it’s about creating space for God to reveal Himself. Through these encounters, we grow stronger and more aligned with His will.
Conclusion: The Call to Seek Diligently
Seeking God requires commitment and the right heart posture. It’s not about what He can give but about who He is. When we prioritize prayer, Scripture, and intimacy with Him, He rewards us with spiritual strength, understanding, and breakthroughs.
Today, let’s recommit to seeking Him diligently, knowing that He is faithful to meet us where we are and lead us into His purpose.
