How do people take God for granted?
·
Consistent and intentional acts of
wickedness/sin: it is taking God for granted when
anyone continues in sin/acts of wickedness with all the sacrifice that God made
for us, the zenith of which is the death like a criminal. Roman 6:1 says what shall we continue in
sin, that grace may abound? Alas one of the last unveiling to John christened
revelation
22 :11-12 says he that is unjust let him be unjust still and he that is filthy
let him be filthy still and he that is righteous let him be righteous still.
And behold I come quickly and my reward is with me to give everyman according
as his work shall be. lets us watch it the master comes soon
·
Acts of ingratitude:
Luke 17:17 Jesus speaking says And Jesus answering said, were there not
ten cleansed? But where are the nine? As we receive all forms of
goodness from God he expects to show acts of appreciation to Him as the
source of all goodness and good , James 1:17 says Every good gift and perfect
gift comes from the father of light who gives without variableness . Don’t
be an ingrate to God. Have you said thank you Jesus today?
·
Lack of reference for His house and
His vessels: thank God for the era of grace that we
now live in but the generation that lived in the old testament/covenant who
needs a priest to do anything in the temple especially in the holy of holies (Ex
28:35a which says and it shall be upon Aaron to minister(ministering in the
temple) ,Lev 16:2-34 or some who were buried alive while insulting or taking
vessels of God for granted (Number 26:10 says And the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred fifty men
and they became a sign) learnt this lesson better although in a very bitter
and an expensive/ not pleasant a way.
One of the things that easily leads to abuse are access lets us not fall
victim of this to God, Let’s learn to honour the house things and all sincere
and heavenly conscious vessels of God.

All forms of Idolatry: Isaiah
42:8 says I am the Lord, that is my name, and my glory will I not give to
another neither my praise to any graven image. God abhors all forms of
idolatry hence the referenced scripture and the first in the laws or the world
famous ten commandments that God passed down to Moses in Exodus 20:3 says Thou shall have
no other God beside me underscoring His disposition towards idolatry. God
gets very angry with us when we get involved in any form of idolatry including worshiping
men (for whatever reason).
·
Using any God given grace for
personal gains only: The God that we serve is never
myopic or selfish, When HE releases any form of grace on any individual he doesn’t
do it only for the person’s benefit, He does it to advance His course which is
always bigger than the recipient or the vessel. When Samson was
endowed with power it was not to jump from one woman to the other or for self-aggrandizement,
the mission statement was also released Judges 13:5 For, lo, thou shall conceive and
bear a son, and no razor shall come on His head, for he shall be a nazarite
unto God from the womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of
the philistines. Flee or stop using divine enablement for personal
desires ONLY.
