Our Greatest Asset In Life

 Exodus 33:14-15

(14)  And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

(15)  And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.

Divine presence is our greatest asset in the journey of life. In our text, Moses was literally saying to God, I cannot do without you Lord. I need your presence more than anything else.

Bible says,

 And THE LORD WAS WITH JOSEPH, and he was a prosperous man…

And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand - Genesis 39:2-3 

When God is with you, He will cause everything you do to prosper.  Joseph prospered because God was with him. He succeeded in his endeavors because God was with Him. Everything positive that happened in his life was because of one thing: God was with him. So God with you is your greatest asset in life.

But Why? Because:

• When God goes with you, everything must go well for you.
• When God goes with you, doors must open for you.  Scripture says:

Lift up your heads Oh Ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in - Psalm 24:7

In other words, when God (who is the King of glory) is coming/going with you, every gate must lift up their heads for you (they must fling open of their own accord).

• When God goes with you, you’re dangerously defended. 

For …if God be for us [or be with us], who can be against us? (Romans 8:31, paraphrased)

• When you have God, you have gold (wealth). For God said, 

“The silver is mine, and the gold is mine. saith the LORD of hosts.” - Haggai 2:8

When you have God, you have access to all things that this world can offer. In Psalm 24:1, it says:  The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

This means you can never be stranded in life with God by your-side. God with you is worth much more than anything in this world. Because God can give you everything you need and much more. 

So if God’s presence offers so much, how do I get it? Just one key will do.  It is joyfulness. Psalm 16:11 says:

…in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore. 

In other words, God’s presence is where there is fullness of joy. Fullness of joy is fullness of His presence. So Joyfulness is God-fullness.  You can’t be truly joyful and lack His presence. Because joy is God’s natural habitat (see Psalm 22:3). And joyfulness is evidenced in our “praisefulness”. Praise is a natural consequence of joy. And praise moves God always (Exodus 15:11). So do well to always maintain an atmosphere of joy and rejoicing around you and you will never lack God’s ever-abiding presence. Desire from this day, to seek His ever abiding presence in all that you do and everywhere you go. You will be glad you did.

Meanwhile, our access to God begins with a relationship with Jesus Christ, the son of God. Jesus said:

I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6)

So Jesus is the only way to God the Father. Therefore, If you want Jesus in your life, Please say this simple prayer:

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and He shed His precious blood for my sins. Today, I confess Him as Lord and Saviour.  Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me!

Amen.

Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). In other-words, God will never call your past life (sins/faults) to remembrance. They are totally forgiven and forgotten. Check this:

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Isaiah 43:25)

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:12) 

If you have said this prayer, we encourage you to get into a bible believing church near you where you can grow in the Lord (1st Peter 2:2 and 2nd Samuel 7:10). You can receive more inspiration by connecting through our various social media handles below:
