GOD IS SEARCHING FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU



John 4:23 (NKJV): “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.”


God is seeking true worshippers. That means He doesn't have them all yet. When someone searches for something, it's because they don't possess it already. So don’t assume God is referring only to those who attend church every Sunday, live a perfect life, or speak in tongues. No — He is searching for you, even if you don’t see yourself as holy, churchy, or worthy.


Take the Samaritan woman in John 4 as an example. She was considered unclean, sinful, and unworthy — yet Jesus approached her, a woman living in fornication. Why? Because He saw a true worshipper in her. She didn’t match the religious image people expected, but God’s eyes saw beyond her past.


Worship means to honor or show reverence for a divine being or supernatural power. It also means  to regard with great or extravagant respect, honor, or devotion. Worship is not a performance — it is a connection.


Another powerful example is the demon-possessed man in Mark 5:1–17. People had written him off. He lived among tombs — a place of death and rejection. People had given up on him, even his family, friends and relatives. But in verse 6, when he saw Jesus, “he ran and worshiped Him.” That man, full of demons, still had the heart of a worshipper. Jesus saw a true worshipper. Not a clean man, but a heart ready to submit to God. 


Jesus crossed a stormy sea to reach him because God was searching for him. This tells us clearly: Your past or present doesn’t disqualify you from being the person God is searching for. God sees beyond your outer condition — He sees your heart.


Today, that same Jesus is reaching out to you. You may be broken, rejected, confused, or addicted — yet, you are the kind of person God is searching for. Your past or present doesn’t disqualify you from being the person God is searching for. God sees beyond your outer condition — He sees your heart. He is sending this message across the seas, just to say: Come home. I want you.


This is your hour. Don’t wait. Let go of your guilt, your fear, your doubts. Jesus is calling you to follow Him fully. Make the decision today.


Prayer: Lord, I give you my heart. Make me a true worshipper, now and forever. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
