Lord I seek you

John 15:7-8 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

One of my favorite pastors Dr. Adrian Rogers once said, “Preach with anguish, not anger.” I have also been told that week after week I will pour out my heart pleading for people to “get it,” and I must begin to understand that they won’t. I cannot begin to explain the weight of these…… It does not matter where God has you in your Christian walk, once you “get it,” your life is never the same. You desire so much for others to see and know Jesus as you do. You desire to spend time with God in prayer and his Word so that you may feed more on this knowledge of him. It is evident to all that are around you that something has changed. If your life is no different that when you became a Christian, are you a Christian at all?

You can sign a card, say a prayer, attend any elevated worship service you wish, but if you are not spending daily time with God in prayer and his Word, you are not a disciple of his. You cannot be a disciple if you are not spending daily time with God. Only his disciples will bear fruit of his, and if you are not bearing fruit……you had better read John 15. Christ’s last words to us as he ascended into heaven were to “go and make disciples.” Go and share your faith with all that will hear and bring the Good News that he came and died to save the world from sin. That is one simple sentence that describes being a disciple, sharing the Gospel, and producing fruit. If that is what Jesus has commanded that you do, are you obeying him?

Your life will never change until you spend daily time with God in prayer and his Word.
If you will only understand this one thing, this one thing will change everything in your life.

Lord I seek you
I want to be closer today,
Lord I seek you.
Show me the way.

Lord I seek you
Lead me where you may,
Lord I seek you
Show me each day.

Lord I seek you
In your Word you will show
Lord I seek you
As your disciple I go.

Lord I seek you
In prayer you will guide
Lord I seek you
My life to abide.
