Dear Reader, in the Shyju Mathew App, there is a powerful Word, just released, from a mighty conference in April 2022 to unlock abundance of grace for you, if you will take time to hear. Obedience to Preservation has been released to the Body of Christ to preserve His Bride for such a time as this.
Abide in Jesus
Just before the Lord went to the cross, He revealed precious principles for His disciples, both past and present. Jesus shared:
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. (John 15: 5-8)
Beloved, the gift of righteousness is waiting for you. If you long to be one with the Lord Jesus, as you surrender your heart to Him, there is a trajectory: from oneness, to sanctification, to obedience to preservation. This Kingdom progression is established for His beloved children who abide in Him.
Certainly, when we run after the Lord, blessing surely follows. The God of our father, this God we serve is faithful, dependable and true. Our just faithful God says, “If you are faithful to Me, I will bless you.” This is our God!
Yet have you ever wondered why some prayers never get answered?
What does the Word say about this problem? (See Why Some Prayers are Not Answered for more.)
Serve No Other gods
Consider what the Lord said to Solomon:
Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments, then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man as ruler in Israel. (2 Chronicles 7:15-18)
God is not afraid to tell Solomon, Imitate your father. Look at his life and do what he did. Remember how David worshipped, his sacrifice, his repentance, how he walked before me and do the same, as Solomon, your blessing came through your father! Follow your father’s steps to Me!
Mercifully, the Lord warned Solomon:
But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them, then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them.(2 Chronicles 7:18-19)
Beloved, the truth is, if we forsake the Lord and follow after other gods, the Lord, our just Father, must remove His Presence from our life. There are only two realities for a believer: Living for Christ or Living for Ourselves.
Perhaps you are asking, what do gods look like in present day living? In Obedience to Preservation, this sermon is addressed further. Idols in our world can include anything from our job to school or the cell phone, from our spouse or children, to pleasures, even ourself.
Whatever we place higher than the Voice of God in our life is an idol. God alone deserves our gaze, our reverence, our surrendered life.
Forever, the Good News Remains.
In His last prayer, Jesus cried,
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. John 17:20-23
There is ALWAYS Good News for those who believe and obey our Lord Jesus!
Jesus said to all of us who hear, “If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. John 15:10
Beloved, hear clearly, the very same way that Jesus loves you is the love that the Father has for Jesus! When we obey our Lord, we abide in His Love, this deep love that Jesus has with the Father!
It’s time to live surrendered lives to the Lord who loves us and deserves our obedience in every area of our life. As we obey, our fruit multiplies, and the Lord is glorified.
Let us be One with our Lord this day. Let us delight in His pruning and be preserved by our obedience! May we choose God and walk in the ways of our father, hour by hour, and day by day until Jesus comes! We shall be PRESERVED!
May His Joy remain in you,
Shalom,
Prophet Shyju
