The Most Loved
1 Corinthians 6:19 " Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own."
From the book of Genesis, we understand that Abraham's faith was tested a total of 3 times. In all 3 tests, God wanted only Abraham's heart. Likewise, God wants out heart.
God will have the faith of believers tested in many ways. However, in all the ways in which He tests us, he is looking at the following areas:
1. Whether we choose to love God or choose to love the things God has given us,
2. Our willingness to give to God what we love the most,
3. Our provisions to God without limit to those who give their all to Him, and
4. Whether we give to God things that cost nothing to us i.e. the value of the things we give to God.
God does not permit sin. However, he does allow Satan to permit sin to show the sinfulness of our heart. With true repentance, God can reduce or even forgo the punishment he originally set his mind upon. Our God is a forgiving God.
As much as God has bless us according to our wishes and prayers, God is asking us to put him first above all else, especially above the things in which he has blessed you for.
God's blessing has an overflowing effect to others. Be blessed, receive your blessings, but do not horde your blessings.
