WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE?
(Scripture) :- 1 Corinthians 4:7, AMP. "For who separates you from the others [as a faction leader]? [Who makes you superior and sets you apart from another, giving you the preeminence?] "
(The Word) :- Good morning Beloved. Hope you slept well?
Someone asked what makes the difference between the believer and the unbeliever. Did I hear you say "that's very obvious?" Probably based on the fact that many of them are successful and wealthy.
It looks like humanly speaking, it pays to be an unbeliever than a believer because you can take shortcuts and get you heart desires. There are several ways to be rich and successful in the world we live in, but that would mean going out of God's grace and boundaries. But what do I stand to gain by being a believer?
What is that thing that separates the believer from the unbeliever? Worldly measurement of success isn't peculiar to just believers. That is, unbelievers are also very rich, many unbelievers also graduate with first class and so on. So it would be wrong to judge success on those qualities.
The presence of God is what separates the believer from the unbeliever. When anyone carries the presence of God, others follow. It's God that gives the power to get wealth. The scripture tells us that money has wings and can fly away and that there will be a shift of riches from the ungodly to the children of God. One who carries the presence of God is blessed of God and the Bible says the blessings of the Lord maketh rich and addeth no sorrows. Wealth by any other means than the blessings of God comes with sorrow.
It was the presence of God that differentiated David from his brothers and also Daniel and his friends from other people in Babylon at the time. The presence of God should be our pursuit. When you carry the presence of God, every other thing follows.
In the presence of God, there's fullness of joy, sound health, wealth, good success and so on. Crave for the presence of God. #SELAH
