Sold Out To The Lord

(Dialogue Question)

Are we sold out to the Lord, or Are we selling ourselves short of His word?

Genesis 25:30-32,33

And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage: for I am faint: therefore was his name called E'-dom.

And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.


Many times we sell ourselves short because whatever things, chances and events come our way first, we reach out and grasp them with a powerful hold. Most of the time we don't wait to see if God has better things in store for us.

When we are desperate we will go the limit to get our needs supplied. Most of the time we haven't prayed about the things we are reaching for.

The bible says ask, seek and knock, then it shall be given unto you. Ask and seek God in prayer for whatever we want, then knock expecting to receive good and perfect gifts from him.

Many times we sell ourselves out for fame, money etc. - to find out later on in life it was not worth it. Learning to wait on the Lord to supply our needs through His son, Jesus, is always wise. Jesus gave His best on the cross so that we could have and enjoy the best in this life

The bible ask, "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and loose his soul"? It does not profit anything; because things of this world is going to pass away, only the word of God is going to stand.

Let's not sell Jesus short of His word. Every thing that He has promised us will come to pass, if we obey his word, and have faith in Him.

God does not lie, before a tilt of His word fails, heaven and earth will pass away. God is a God that does not have to repent, because He does not lie, according to the bible.


Let's continue to be sold out to the Lord, buy not selling ourselves short to His word.


Until we meet again - soon.
