Many persons find it difficult to say a word or two about God to their family, friends, or neighbours, because they are often concerned about what to say.
So I ask myself, can we really be bereft or in want of what to say about God? Or are we shy, concerned, intimidated, or confused about how to go about it?
You would realize that we do not need much nudging to talk about the environment, the country, the government of the country we reside in; or the country we are anxious to relocate to. We simply settle into the feelings, information, joys, worries, governance, and systems of the environment.
This is actually the invitation that God has given to us. Speak about His governance, His reign, His rule, His kingdom. In fact, He has invited us to desire it first: as a yardstick, a guide, an expectation, an anticipation, a desire, an actualization, for the environment we must assume into.
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
Have you ever really considered this line of text in the bible? I would encourage you to go back and read the whole chapter. It is an interesting read!
More interestingly, when we are barraged by others or the system, about this beautiful knowledge, information and/or experience of God’s kingdom, we have been pre-informed that, we need not even concern ourselves with what to say.
“But when then shall lead you and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak; neither need ye premeditate. But whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.”
Mark 13:11 (KJV)
So, are you still concerned with what to say?
Peace!!!
