: 1 – 5.
Happy 3rd Sunday of the month to you. We are still in the month of perfection. Today is triple perfection being 7×3=21. God shall triple our perfected miracles in Jesus mighty name, Amen 🙏.
God’s message to us today is very important and we must be very attentive. It’s titled “What God Requires From Us”.
We always want to collect from God but we don’t want to give Him what He wants from us. This explains why many prayers remain unanswered. We are not ready to do His requirements but only like to show up that we know and worship Him as hypocrites.
God cannot be mocked or deceived. Gal.6:7;1Cor.3:18. You can’t use prayer, fasting or money to woo God. God looks at our hearts.1Sam.16:7b.
Many people that purport to be in His presence are not because He doesn’t know them. Who are those qualified to be in the presence of God? The answers are provided in Psalm 15:1-5 and 24:4. The 12 requirements for qualification are highlighted below. 1. Walk uprightly, that is obey God in everything. 2. Work in righteousness, that’s always do what is right. 3. Speak the truth, that’s true and sincere words. 4. Not backbiting, that’s not slandering others. 5. Doing no evil or reproaching neighbours, that’s not wronging friends nor spreading rumours about neighbours. 6. Despising evil people, that’s hating those God rejects. 7. Honour those who fear God, that’s honour those who obey God. 8. Keeping to promise and not changing, that’s always doing what you promised, no matter what it will cost. 9. Putting not money to usury, that’s giving loan without charging interest. 10. Cannot be made to implicate the innocent, that’s can’t be bribed to testify against the innocent. 11. Having clean hands and pure heart, that’s being pure in act and in thought. 12. Not lifting up soul unto vanity, nor swearing deceitfully, that’s not worshipping idols or making false promises.
These are the 12 requirements God wants from us. Prayer, fasting and the money you give are not mentioned.
If you don’t have these 12, God doesn’t know you. You are not in His presence even though you may be sleeping on the alter and staying on the pulpit 24 hours a day.
Jesus says in Matt. 15:8 that “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.”
You can’t be praying or fasting when you don’t have the 12 requirements above. God condemns fasting done in wickedness. God wants you to feed the hungry. Fasting without taking care of the hungry beside you is like going on hunger strike. Isah.58:4-7.
Nothing can replace the 12 requirements God wants from us, not the money you spend in the church, fasting, prayer or your hypocritical regular presence or showoffs at every program can make you see God.
Psalm 24:5 says that those who have the requirements shall be blessed and saved. I pray that God will give us the grace to do what He requires from us in Jesus mighty name, Amen 🙏.
Prayer Points 🙏
1. Heavenly Father I thank You for today’s message of Your divine requirements.
2. Thank You Lord for keeping me and my family safe.
3. Anything I’m doing that is against Your requirements, merciful God take it away from me.

5. Lord, help me to make heaven in Jesus mighty name, Amen 🙏.
