[The Glory Unveiled]
The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men. (Isaiah 29:13 )
For far too long, many of us have been living the Christian life as if it were a movie script we had to act out. So that there is no sincerity in our expression of the things we profess. We hear people say things they don’t mean but as if compelled, they say them. Most of these religious cliches are spoken in the most seemingly “spiritual” atmosphere, giving people some form of goofy feelings. Our mouth and lips should only express those things that our hearts are full of. If we truly honour God and are full of gratitude for Him, then our lips will be an extension of those things. But these days, we hear people, compelled by the praise of men to say things they have no conviction nor experience with. God says that these people worship Him with the rules taught by men and not from intimate dealings of the Spirit of God. Men can only teach what is earthly but those who will worship the Father in spirit and in Truth are those who will worship by the tutelage of the Holy Spirit. The wind of the season and the decade we have been ushered into demands that we have real intimate relationship with the Father. We need to truly come to that place with the Father where we can live for God sincerely from our hearts, devoid of the comments or praise of men. God is seeking for true seekers of spiritual realities in God.
