The Great Commission Album

If you know me then you'd know that the Great Commission Album by Dunsin Oyekan was dropped for my sake 😅. This is because I have been listening to it endlessly, recommending it to everyone, talking about my favorites on the album with my friends, and posting it time and time again on my social media.

However, as much as I love that album, there is a song on that album that I haven't had the boldness to sing out aloud until recently. Now I can sing it after a lot of talking to myself, examining the state of my heart, meditating about it, and of course, praying about it.

The song is titled "The Worshipper's Song", and the lyrics I had been struggling to sing is,       

"Thank you for the things You do
For the miracles You give
But I still, prefer Your presence, over everything
I still choose being with You, over these things"

This might probably not be a big deal to you. But then, I started asking myself "Do I really prefer His presence over everything He does?" "Am I not really just with Him because of what He does and not because of who He is?" If I really prefer His presence why isn't it that evident? Why don't I spend more time in the presence of the One I claim to prefer over everything?

Ask yourself - " If God does not grant your desires or do the miraculous and wonderous things He does in your life, would you still love Him?" (I remember one time He didn't do what I wanted 😊). "Do you serve or worship Him because you know that last last, He will take care of all that concerns you?"

This is what I have discovered - It's all about love!

If you love a girl or a boy, you'd want to talk to them all the time, you'd enjoy their presence far beyond the presence of other people, and you'd just want to be around them and spend quality time with them. All they do and say mean so much to you and even their silence is meaningful to you.

It's the same with God. if you love Him, you'd enjoy His presence, you'd wanna be with Him at all times, and you won't take any steps or decisions without telling Him. Your entire world will revolve around Him.

If we really love God, far beyond the amazing things He does, His presence will mean so much more to us. 

And this is my challenge to you today;

• Love God (Mark 12:30).
• Be expressive in your love towards Him.
• Avoid treating like your ATM who you only talk to when you need something.
• Be intentional about loving HIM.
• You cannot love someone you don't know. So, spend time in his presence.
• Spend time studying His word and conversing with HIM (praying).
• Pray that He helps you to love Him more.

You know the beautiful thing about God, He is able to do his part and still help you to do yours. The Bible says (Romans 5:5) that His love is poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. And I pray that His love will continually be shared abroad in our hearts.

Thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing from you ❤️
