Many people claim to be in pursuit of God, but oftentimes, their approach is misguided. They assume that simply desiring to encounter God and putting in the effort through prayer and fasting will guarantee it. Instead, the Lord refines this desire by providing His instructions (commandments) to those who seek Him in prayer. By obeying these instructions, people undergo transformation and become qualified to encounter and have access to God.

In this message, Pastor Jeffrey highlights what should be the primary consideration of anyone seeking to encounter God. He offers insight into how one can qualify to meet God, emphasizing how prayer is merely an attempt that is not enough to guarantee an experience with God unless one is qualified for it. He underscores the importance of obedience to God’s commandments received in prayer, as well as the dangers of ignoring or rejecting them. Finally, he urges those who seek God to remain open to His instructions, as this is essential for truly making contact with Him.

Beloved, a true encounter with God requires a heart willing to obey His commands. Do not ignore His instructions; instead, follow them diligently, and you will surely receive all that you need from Him.
