Jeremiah 29:13-14 ‘And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity,’

DAILY READING; John 2; 1 Chronicles 10-11; Zechariah1

One of the greatest missionaries to Africa was William Frederick Padwick Burton. He was the product of divine grace because his early life was full of worldly pursuits with no regard for spiritual things. He had a privileged background, attended good schools in England and traveled around the world, developing a broadly-informed worldview.
But while in college in 1905, Burton attended an evangelistic service, where he became convinced that he was not a true Christian, despite being a member of the Church of England.
After surrendering his life to Christ, a definite change took place in his life. He joyfully shared his newfound faith and began a lifelong disciplines of studying the Bible and praying.
Few years later, Burton felt God’s call to full-time ministry. He stepped out in faith and, in 1911, quit his engineering job and began preaching across the English countryside and led numerous people to the Lord.
Burton later went to serve as a missionary in Congo, where he would spend the rest of his life.
Burton helped to advance the Gospel in Africa. He authored many books and raised many Churches in Congo.
Though he had sacrificed his life of privilege and social status in England to become a Pentecostal preacher, he ultimately gained more as he became a celebrated figure in the history of African Pentecostalism.

Christ proved His love for us by giving up His Heavenly status and coming to the earth as a man to die on the Cross for our sins. We are to prove our love for Him by being willing to give up anything to follow Him. The Christian life requires that we choose the will of God over even our own comfort and pleasures.
Our greatest focus and pursuit should be the promotion and expansion of God’s Kingdom.
We are living in the last days, where the greatest battle for the souls of men is taking place. So many distractions are being sent into the world by the devil to derail people and push them deeper into sin and destruction.
While souls are being lost, as believers we cannot stand by and
occupy our lives with mundane and frivolous things.
It’s important that we evaluate our priorities and ensure we are pursuing God’s purpose first, which is the salvation of men.
We can no longer afford to keep wasting time, running after things that lack eternal value.
Pursuit of earthly treasures and pleasures is temporary, but our investment in eternal purpose of seeking God and His Kingdom will last forever.
The wonderful thing is that when we seek God and find Him, we are rewarded with deliverance from every captivity in our lives.

God said in Jeremiah 29:13-14 ‘And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity,’

Whatever has been an issue of concern in our lives, we will be delivered from them, when we choose to seek God with our whole hearts.
Because God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him, as we give Him the highest priority in our hearts, He will certainly take us to the highest places in life .

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the grace to always make You top priority in my life. Please help me to maintain a lifestyle of spiritual fervency and tireless pursuit of Your calling upon my life in Jesus’ Name.
