Don’t Use God—Choose God: Living Every Moment in His Presence


In the quiet places of our hearts, we know this truth: many of us only run to God when life gets tough—when the bills pile up, when the diagnosis is bad, when the tears won’t stop falling. We cry out, “God, help me!” And in His mercy, He often does. But how many of us stay with Him when the storm is over?

We’ve gotten used to treating God like a quick-fix mechanic—someone we call when something is broken and abandon once it's working again. But this isn't what God wants. God is not a vending machine for miracles or a spare tire for emergencies. He is our Creator, our Sustainer, our Father—and yes, a jealous God.

God Wants All of You—Not Just Your Crisis

> “You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God…”
— Exodus 20:5



God’s jealousy isn’t petty—it’s holy. It’s the jealousy of a Father who watches His children run after things that can never truly love them back. It’s the righteous fire of a God who longs to be the center of your life, not a side option when life collapses.

We often give God leftovers—leftover time, leftover energy, leftover love. But He gave us His best. His only Son.

> “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8



The Danger of a Double Life

It breaks God’s heart when we use Him only in desperation but chase the world the rest of the time. Jesus spoke directly about this double-minded life:

> “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.”
— Matthew 15:8



We can’t worship God on Sunday and chase idols Monday through Saturday. Whether it's money, fame, lust, or comfort—anything that takes God’s place in your heart becomes an idol.

> “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other…”
— Matthew 6:24



God doesn’t want part-time followers. He wants your whole life.

The Prodigal Heart and the Father’s Love

In Luke 15, Jesus tells the story of the prodigal son—a powerful example of how we often treat God. The son took his father’s blessings and ran off to live a worldly life. He only returned when he had nothing left. And what did the father do?

He ran to him.

That’s how deep God’s love is. But let’s not forget—while the story ends in mercy, it begins with a broken relationship. Don’t wait until life falls apart to come back home. Stay with God before the famine comes.

God Seeks Relationship, Not Religion

> “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself… neither can you, unless you abide in me.”
— John 15:4



To “abide” means to stay, dwell, live. God doesn’t want a weekend visit. He wants a lifelong relationship. He wants to walk with you every day—through joy, pain, boredom, and blessing. Not just be your rescue boat, but your daily bread.

Let Your Heart Return to God

This is a call to come back—not with just your problems, but with your whole heart.

> “Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.
— Malachi 3:7



Commit every second of your life to God. Wake up with Him, walk with Him, talk with Him. Involve Him in your dreams, your decisions, your doubts. Give Him more than just your “needs”—give Him your love, your worship, your trust.

Will You Choose Him Today—Fully and Forever?

God is waiting—not to punish, but to embrace. Not to shame, but to restore. His arms are wide open, but He’s asking one thing:

Will you choose Me even when you don’t “need” Me?

Let’s stop using God. Let’s start loving Him.

With all your heart.
With all your soul.
With all your mind.
With all your strength.
Every second. Every breath.

> “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”
— Mark 12:30

A Vision in the Sky: The Sky Spoke Again: God Is Coming Soon (Part Two)

Image
In the early hours of today, I had a dream that left me shaken, thrilled, and deeply moved — one I feel compelled to share with the world. In the dream, I found myself at the gym with my brother and a group of friends. It was early morning, just as the sun was rising. After finishing our session, we all walked outside to head home. The sky was painted in that golden-orange hue that comes just before the full light of day. It felt peaceful… until something extraordinary happened. As I looked up, I saw a number — a sequence that looked like a date — scrolling upward across the sky. Its movement was clear, not rushed like my previous dream. Shocked, I pointed and shouted, "Everybody look! Are you seeing this?" To my amazement, every single person — about 25 of us — looked up and saw the same thing. We were shocked, amazed, ecstatic, excited, and yet frightened all at once. It wasn’t a hallucination. It wasn’t a private vision. It was real — and we all saw it. Then ca...

Children obey your parents

  Why Children Need to Listen to Their Parents – What the Bible Says Children are a gift from God, and He has given parents the responsibility to guide, teach, and protect them. Listening to parents is not just about obedience; it is about learning wisdom, understanding right from wrong, and growing into a godly and responsible person. The Bible has a lot to say about why children should listen to their parents and the blessings that come with obedience. Biblical Teachings on Listening to Parents 1. It Is a Command from God The Bible makes it clear that children should obey their parents. One of the Ten Commandments states: “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” – Exodus 20:12 (NIV) Obedience is not just a rule but a command that brings blessings and longevity. 2. Obedience Brings Blessings The apostle Paul reinforces this command in Ephesians 6:1-3: “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Ho...

With God, Nothing Is Impossible: Unlocking Divine Possibilities

Image
In a world filled with limitations, failures, and impossibilities, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by what we cannot do. We often face closed doors, dead ends, and battles that seem too big to conquer. But in the middle of it all, there's a timeless truth that brings hope, faith, and courage: “For with God nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37, KJV). This powerful scripture was spoken by the angel Gabriel to Mary when he announced that she would miraculously conceive Jesus, even though she was a virgin. It was a divine reminder that human limitations do not restrict God. What seems impossible in the natural realm becomes possible in the hands of the supernatural. Understanding the Context Luke 1:37 was spoken in the midst of two miraculous stories: Elizabeth, who was barren and well past childbearing age, was pregnant with John the Baptist. Mary, a young virgin, was chosen to give birth to the Son of God. Both situations defied logic, biology, and common sense—but G...
