John 20:10(Then the disciples went away
again unto their own home. 11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping:
as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the sepulchre).
Joel 2:12(Therefore also now, saith the
LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting and with
weeping, and with mourning).
A genuine seeker does not quit until
they find what they are looking for and that’s the mentality of a winner. As we
continue our journey here on earth God expects us to carry the mentality of a
winner. You have to take responsibility because life will not give you want you
want except you fight for it. Life is a battle field. That is the reason why we
need a warrior mentality in order to succeed in life. Matthew
11:12(And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven
suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force). The
instruction that Jesus Christ will rise again after three days was given to all
his disciples. After he was crucified, they all went back to their home except
the women that kept going there to check. They even went to his grave with
spices to anoint him and that is how they discovered that he was no longer in
the grave. Anytime I meditate on this particular subject it brings tears to my
eyes. Mary has a genuine love for Jesus no wonder she was the first to see him
after his resurrection (Mark 16:9). Those who genuinely seek God found
him. The bible said seeks and you shall find (Matthew 7:7). You will
definitely find what you are looking for, but the question is; what are you
looking for? You need to define your search because you will be asked. The two
Angel asked Mary the same question. Jesus Christ himself asked her the same question
(John 20:15). John 20:13(And they said unto her, Woman why weepest
thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord and I know not
where they have laid him. 14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself
back and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 16 Jesus saith
unto her, Mary, She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to
say, Master). She was not satisfied with the answer the Angel gave her; she
kept pressuring them to tell her where they had kept Jesus until he appeared to
her. Jeremiah 29:13(And you shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search
for me with all your heart). I don’t know what you are looking for or what
they have taken away from you. The good news is, as you seek God first, you shall
find all things that you are looking for in Jesus name (Matthew 6:33).
When I joined Winners Chapel newly in 2008, I was asked the same question by
someone because I was so addicted to service and fellowship. She said what is
it that I am looking for? My response to her was I will soon find what I am
looking for and she will see it and I will relocate. That is exactly what
happened. I got two job offers at the same time even though I don’t really know
how to pray but I keyed into all the testimonies from the altar and I got the
same result. Friends, you need to be passionate in your searching just like
Mary and you will find him in Jesus name. Psalm 126:6(He that goeth forth
and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him). Imagine the expression on the face of Mary
when Jesus appeared to her and the other disciples when she gave them the good
news. The most precious seed that you can give to God is your heart because
that is the connection link between you and him. In case you have not connected
your heart with him, here is another opportunity today. You can’t find him and
remain the same; your story is changing today in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a
sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your
precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord
Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
