Go Huge!
Giving God What He Desires Most
With God there is nothing but success, victory, and triumph. He has made us more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. Today we won’t discuss how to become a Christian, but rather the practical manner in which Christians should live as children of God to benefit from all that God has laid up for us. The blessing of God is a flow that you’re automatically under when you are in the right position. Just because God has given us favor doesn’t mean we’ll ever experience it!
To “Go Huge” is to go all the way, live or die – to put both feet squarely in! To receive God’s best you must give Him what He desires most.
1. Too many believers aren’t experiencing God’s best/fulfillment. God’s best is intended for everyone! James 1:6-8 warns us against divided loyalty between the God and the world – one foot in and one foot out. You cannot have one foot in emotion and the other in faith. You cannot walk by what you can see and walk by faith.
2. To receive God’s best; I must give Him what He desires most. What God wants most is 100% loyalty to Him.
Matthew 22:15-22 – The Pharisees’ attempt to flatter Jesus by asking Him if they should pay taxes, which at the time was a hot-button issue that if found guilty of violating, could result in death. To answer the wicked Pharisees, Jesus asked for a coin and was given a Roman denarius (used for paying taxes) and not the Jewish shekel which was used to worship God in the temple. Jesus pointed to the image and remarked, “‘Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’” Who or what are those “things that are God’s”? Genesis 1 tells us that we are created in the “image and likeness” of God and He has given us His name. We are those things that are God’s! This is relational, not religious.
3. God wants me to make Him the center of my life. Psalm 34:8-10 implores us to “taste and see that the Lord is good.” In the days this was written, eating food was very risky! No refrigeration, no health inspectors – tasting something unknown could result in instant death! By tasting, you are all in! There is no going back once you taste! See that the Lord is good.
Search the Scriptures below for more examples of those who “went huge.” None of whom were super saints, more holy, or any better than you. The difference is they were wiser and made smart decisions.
