WHAT ARE YOUR MOTIVES?

****WHAT ARE YOUR MOTIVES**** Greeting in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior,. The feelings I have this day is that of great joy not only for me but for all of you followers of our Lord Jesus. Few days ago the God laid it in my heart about my motives and he asked me what are my motives? And this same question is asking you today. **WHAT ARE YOUR MOTIVES?** Our motives are similar to our heartbeat in fact both gives clear signals to God for every heart that is still beating God is aware and to every thoughts of our heart is also aware. This is a very important aspect of our walk with God for our motives will be proven and tested by the master maker and life creator we may fool each other with falsehood but we can’t fool God. In my walk with God I have leant to do things that pleases God and this may not please men, ones you motives are right and you know in your heart that you have done or doing what God wants you to do you have done well because the truth is you can never satisfy a man. Before I proceed further lets take a look at the bible. **Galatians 1:10 NKJV** for do I now persuade men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still please men, I would not be a bond servant of Christ. This was a clear categorical statement from Apostle Paul his motives were very clear to what he was doing and to where he was standing, this is not the case with many of us today we tend to seek and sort after the approval of men. Whenever a thing is done and the motives of doing that thing is warped it is utterly useless and of no reward and the effect is always against God. **WHAT ARE YOUR MOTIVES?** 1 Timothy 1:5 NKJV*** Now the purpose of the commandment is love with a pure heart from a good conscience and from a sincere faith. Are we doing this? as written by same apostle Paul many of us today our love are not from a pure heart it is attached to what we get our conscience are smeared and of cause our faith not sincere this is one the reasons why many cannot receive from God and many prayers are not answered because the motives behind it are dirty and rotten and is all about self. **WHAT ARE YOUR MOTIVES?** Philippians 2:3 NKJV.**** Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit but in loneliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Selfish ambition is very rampant in the body of Christ this shouldn’t be, Ones there is a selfish ambition is impossible to please God no matter how far you have come with him no matter your position in church. I have seen people who are suppose to be highly effective in God’s work become none ineffective because of selfish ambition and pride. God does not care about your educational background neither does he care about your stand in the church he does not care about how wealthy you are, he will search the heart of all men and reveal every motive behind an action. In Day of Judgment all motives will be exposed. As am about to round up I want you to from today check your motives in everything you do as to please God and not men Please Read (James 4:1-17 NKJV****** Till I write you again keep the flames of the spirit of God burning I love you but God loves you more .Stay Bless in Jesus name.
