God's Requests

My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.(Proverbs 23:26)

You must not be satisfied or content to stay where you are. God cannot use you to fulfil His plan and purposes in this final hour as long as you remain “spiritual babies”. “Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional (left to personal choice).

A. GIVE ME YOUR TIME.
When earthly interests and occupations are more important to us than eternal ones.
When we would rather watch TV and read secular books and magazines and text messages than read the Bible and pray.
When we watch things on TV and movies that we would not show in church.
When you are tires, too busy, too distracted to spend an hour once a week in church.

B. GIVE ME YOUR TALENT.
Mark 4:25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.(KJV)
We are responsible to use well what we have. It doesn’t matter how much we have but what we do with it.
The more talent we have the more responsible we are to use them effectively. We must not hesitate, refuse, or serve grudgingly.
God asks each of us: “What are you doing with that I have given you?

C. GIVE ME YOUR TREASURE
God won’t ask what kind of car you drove.
God won’t ask the square footage of your house.
God won’t ask about the clothes you had in your closet.
God won’t ask how much money do you have.
God will say: “Freely, freely you have received, freely give. Go in my name and because you believe; others may know that I live.”

D. GIVE ME “YOUR HEART”
The heart is what the great God requires.
We must not think to divide the heart between God and the world, He will have all or none.
If our hearts are right with God, if the vertical relationship between us and God has made right – then our horizontal relationship can be made right too.
The best gifts to God – YOUR HEART.
