Suppose a multi-billionaire came to you and said, “I am going to make you an offer. If you’ll come work for me and be my ambassador to the world, everything I have will be at your disposal if you need it. In fact, all of your needs will be provided for. You won’t ever have to worry about another thing for the rest of your life. If there is ANYTHING you want or need, all you have to do is ask me! The only requirements I have are (1) That you represent me to the world in a way that truly shows who I am and (2) that you be ready and willing to do whatever I ask of you.” Most of us would be VERY interested in such an amazing offer.
And, we say, “Yeah, but that would never happen to me. A multi-billionaire making such an offer?” Well, guess what – it has happened to ALL OF US! In fact someone FAR more wealthy and of MUCH greater influence than a mere multi-billionaire has made this offer to us!
ALMIGHTY GOD through His Son Jesus Christ offers in John 15:7, “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” Now, before you argue, “Uhm, I asked God for a million dollars, and He never gave it to me…” or something like that, we have to look at the real picture here. You see, if we are TRULY abiding in CHRIST and allowing His words to guide and direct us – our desires are going to be what HE desires for us. But remember – HE ONLY DESIRES WHAT IS BEST!!
Jesus speaking again in Matthew 6:25-33 tells us, “…do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
The offer is there – The opportunity of a lifetime! All we have to do is SEEK HIM FIRST in our life, be willing to obey and trust Him, and HE WILL provide ALL we could EVER need. Plus, there’s the fact that He isn’t just a multi-millionaire – He OWNS ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD! There is no greater offer than this. And this offer IS TRUE and GUARANTEED!
We could dream about the offer I stated in my opening paragraph, but chances are it will never happen to us. Or, we can accept the OPPORTUNITY that lies before us! Give God Your Life – He Can Do A LOT More With It Than You Can!!!
