DON'T TAKE GOD FOR GRANTED

Don't Take God For Granted.

Bible Text: Isaiah 65:2-3.

God is God, He should be feared, respected, glorified and honoured. He should not be treated anyhow.

He is not happy when taken for granted, and many today, are doing this to Him, which is so painful and annoying.
Is is bad for God to be fair?

There are some, after dining with God at His table, they will go back and dine with the devil.

Some even when sharing their testimony, they take Him for granted by their attitudes.

They also take the selfless and sacrificial service of His servants for granted.

Ish. 65:1 -
He made Himself available to them that don't deserve Him, even when they don't call on Him. Yet they take Him for granted.

Many also, after going through deliverance and have been set free from challenges, they give testimony as if it was their effort and not God who did it for them.

Ish. 65:2 - He spread out His hands to a rebellious people, yet they take Him for granted.

God is no respecter of persons, He deserves His glory from you.

There are also some workers in His vineyard, who commits terrible sins and indulge in unrighteous, unholy life style and living in ingratitude to Him. All these depicts - taking God for granted.

You have know the truth, why don't you stay with the truth?

Check your ways.

Why go for short cut and sinning against Him?

What God did not give you, know that you don't deserve it. And there is nothing He cannot do for give.

Again God is not happy when taken for granted.

Three Things To Consider About God's Nature:

Psalm 116:5- He is gracious.
He is righteous.
He is merciful.

Psalm 117:2- "For His merciful kindness is great towards us: and His truth endureth for ever.

Why Do People Take God For Granted?

Psalm 103:8 - Because He is merciful, gracious, slow to anger and plenteous mercy.

Don't take His goodness and mercy for granted. You need to be transparent before Him.

The Other Side Of God:

Deut. 4:24 - He is a consuming fire and a jealous God.
Hebrews 12:29- For our God is a consuming fire

The Remedy:

Jeremiah 3:12 - "Go and proclaim these words towards the north (His people, His church) and say,
Return, thou backsliding church and brethren, and I will not cause Mine anger to fall upon you: for I Am merciful,  saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever.

Let's not take God for granted.

Prophetic Prayers.
Lord, please purify Your altar and remove the stains from your church in Jesus Name.
