What Question Would You Ask Jesus?

What Question Would You Ask Jesus?

“So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ They said to Him, ‘Lord, that our eyes may be opened.’ So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.” (Matthew 20:32–34) 
“Then the Lord said to me, ‘You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.’” (Jeremiah 1:12) 
If Jesus Christ were to stop by your home, what one question would ask him? 
I believe today’s passages suggest a question that should be high on our priority list: Lord, please open our eyes so we can know you better; see and understand your will for us in the time we have remaining in this world.
In our relationship with the Lord, we receive one revelation after another so we can understand what he wants us to do. 
“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength.” (Ephesians 1:17–19) 
These men received their sight. Then what did they do? They followed Jesus. 
The questions for you and me are: 
Are we trustworthy to be given revelation from him? 
What will we do with revelations Christ gives to us? 
Will we follow through in accordance with what he has revealed to us? 
Will we do the works he has prepared for us?
It is interesting to note in the Jeremiah passage that the Lord said, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”  
If we see well what God wants done, then we are in a position where he can perform his Word in and through us. 
“…for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13) 
Today, ask yourself: 
Do I consistently ask God to reveal how he wants me to use my time, talent, and treasure to advance his kingdom? Am I following through with what he reveals to me?

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
