#My Responsibility
_If you take steps God will make paths
Key Scripture: Luke 12:31
Only aim at and strive for and seek His kingdom, and all these things shall be supplied to you also.
Dear friend,
So I realized that one very reason why we don't take steps is simply because we are often afraid of failing. What if I do this and it doesn't work? What if I pray for that friend and he doesn't get better? What if I say that word of faith and I doesn't happen? So instead of trying and failing we don't take up the responsibility of trying at all. I said, certain things are your responsibility to handle, but if you don't step up to it God can't step up to it for you. No He won't. God wants everyone one of his children to be deliberate and become responsible for everything happening on the earth.
*Don't be afraid to fail*
Yesterday my pastor (Chingtok Ishaku) said, "the kingdom will not come to a people who are too afraid of failing". That alone was a step out point for me. You see my friend, the fear of failing isn't really the problem, the main problem is what you do about the fear. Everyone of us, before taking any major responsibility or step was afraid, but the difference between one and another is what we decided to do about the fear; stay afraid and do nothing or step up and take responsibility irrespective of the fear.
Several years back I learnt that you can't receive what hasn't been given, it has to be given for you to receive it. And then Blossom told me that you shouldn't also say you haven't received when you haven't asked.
*You have not because you ask not*
You can't be given what you didn't ask for, but even if in mercy God gives you what you didn't ask for, you may not be able to receive it. So it all starts with you, you take the step; He makes the path. Never be afraid to ask (coming from someone who had a problem asking). Don't ever be afraid to ask for help or assistance. Never be afraid to ask for anything in the name Jesus! Don't let fear keep you from taking responsibility for your life!! Don't let fear keep you from seeking to know the heart of God!!! Don't let fear stop you from taking charge of your home and business!!!
*All things are yours*
I don't know how else to say this, because I am super excited about it. I was blessed during yesterday service when I was made to see that All things are mine to the extent to which I belong to Christ ( read 1 Corinthians 3:21-23) Hallelujah!!
The father will not deny you anything that will further the kingdom (Never forget that). According to the Lord's prayer, the kingdom comes before our daily bread. I told you it will be a waste of resources for God to supply things to a man who doesn't have the kingdom mindset. The problem we have is that we want it to be in reverse, we want bread so we can then do kingdom. But it's kingdom first. Let me give you a secret: It's harder to get things by chasing, seeking or asking for things, but easier to get things by chasing, seeking or asking for His kingdom.

"Thy kingdom come" is a unique way of asking for everything else you might need... Bless you sir.
