What are you seeking?

The message for this Sunday, September 21, is particularly important in my opinion.

Of course, all the messages and teachings we receive are important, but this one is even more so in my view because it is timeless and serves as a compass in our daily life with God.

Reverend Danielle Wafo spoke to us on the theme: “What are you looking for?” The purpose of this timeless message was to invite us to take a step back and examine the nature of our motivations in turning to God: are we seeking to achieve our personal goals, or are we seeking to serve God and please Him?

Among the essential questions to ask ourselves, the Servant of God mentioned:

- What is our motivation for doing this or that?

- When we go to church, what is our motivation?

- When we are with someone, what is our motivation?

God's agenda is collective and corporate, so each of us has a role to play, just like the different links in a chain.

The message focused on seven characteristics of a person who seeks first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

• Characteristic #1: Your love, devotion, and loyalty to God

Loving God and pleasing Him must be our daily quest.

Sometimes we ease our conscience by going to church, and this act becomes a routine in our daily lives.

• Matthew 22:37-38 [The Living Bible]

Furthermore, it is important to keep in mind that we are ambassadors for Christ in everything we do, as Reverend Danielle Wafo reminded us.

• Colossians 3:23-24 [The Living Bible]

“Seeking God's approval both inside and outside the church must be our quest!” - Rev. Danielle Wafo

• Characteristic #2: Your love, attachment, and loyalty to the leader God has given you

You must follow your leader by divine instruction, even if you were initially connected to them “accidentally.” After a while, you must have a revelation!

Difference between loyalty and attachment:

• Loyalty is a moral commitment based on respect for internal values and active support.
• Attachment is an emotional bond often motivated by the satisfaction of needs or a form of dependence.

          We must therefore identify the internal values that bind us in order to be loyal to someone.

• Loyalty does not depend on circumstances because the foundation that unites us here is strong: internal values.
• Attachment, on the other hand, is emotional and weak because it is guided by circumstances.

• Characteristic #3: Loyalty to the vision

We must clearly understand the vision of the leader to whom we are attached and identify with it because we have an active role to play in that vision.

• Characteristic #4: Your commitment to prophetic teachings and instructions

• Characteristic #5: Your commitment to programs and worship services

• Characteristic #6: Your financial commitment, skills, and gifts in the vision

Your financial resources, as well as your gifts and talents, must be used to serve the vision on a daily basis.

• Characteristic #7: Your commitment to winning and rallying your family and those around you to Christ and to the vision

Your language, your attitude, and your communication (including on social media) must demonstrate your desire to win souls within your family and outside of it.

This message is, as we said in the introduction, a kind of compass for each of us because, regardless of our level of faith, it is important to reexamine ourselves on a daily basis, to constantly reexamine our hearts, as the line between the two positions is subtle, even for the most enlightened.

As Dr. Raoul Wafo often says, the shortcut to receiving answers to our needs from God is to serve Him.
Let us seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all the rest will follow…

Let us ask God to help us in this regard every day.

We are together.
