Psalms 53:2 * GOD LOOKED* down from heaven upon the children of men, *TO SEE* if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
The Bible said, they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, not they that are consistent in church services. Someone may ask, 'Judah, how about the scripture that says, they went from strength to strength when they appeared before the Lord in Zion?'
Did you see what that scripture said properly, they didn't come to Zion to appear before men but before God. Their strength didn't reduce because they came to Zion to appear before God. It is amazing how people rush to church without any predetermined focus, this is why they will return from church and complain of weakness instead of unusual strength.
For instance, When some people are dressing up to go to the Church on Sunday, their focus as they were dressing is "do I look good? Will sister so and so see me? O! I hope the first person I'll meet is Bro David so that he can comment on my cute look. I want to look better than Mrs Motloung, I want to wear this nice suit so that those who see me can bow their heads".
This is the reason why many including church workers return from Church unchanged and an ordinary member will come with a heart fully prepared and take the blessings meant for them and will return with testimonies.
2 Cor3:18 We all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord are being changed into the same image from glory to glory. You're not changed by beholding the glory of men or the outlook of your pastor but by beholding the glory of the Lord.
God is looking but what are you doing?
Don't go to church because of any other reason other than to worship God. As a pastor or a church worker, you must see even your service to God as a form of worship before the Lord can reward you.
*Insights for today: It is impossible to fix your eyes and heart on men and see God. It is impossible to have God in mind and not see God at work in your life. (Judah Olatunde)*
*Prayer: Dear Lord, I thank you for your word to me today. Help me to keep my focus only on you and cause me to experience you in a great dimension Lord in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*
