“Without holiness no one will see the Lord.” — Hebrews 12:14
Sometimes, we want to worship and serve God in our own way, in our own timing, and on our own terms. But one truth remains: unauthorized worship is not acceptable before God. Good intentions are not enough if we are doing the wrong process.
Like Saul, we become impatient in our waiting season and try to take matters into our own hands. Like Abraham and Sarah, there are moments when we try to “help” God fulfill His promises because waiting becomes painful. But church, God does not need our help—He needs our obedience. His plans do not depend on us, but we are the ones who desperately need Him, His grace, His breakthrough, and His presence.
Sometimes, just like Esau, we exchange what is sacred for something temporary. The world offers quick satisfaction, but at what cost? Peace? Holiness? Calling? Relationship with God? What we think we need today may only be temporary, but what God has prepared is eternal.
Cain offered a sacrifice, but it was unauthorized because it was not done according to God’s instruction. Martha had the right intention, but Mary chose the better portion—to sit at the feet of Jesus. This reminds us that God is not asking for “more” of us; He is asking us to do what is right in His eyes. Your sacrifice, no matter how great, if not aligned with God’s will, means nothing before Him.
Holiness is not only about what we wear—it is the evidence of God’s presence in our lives, seen in our morals, decisions, and obedience. Church, heaven is not entered by unauthorized people.We cannot follow God in our own terms.
But the Good news is: In the waiting, in the battle, in the uncertainty, God has never forsaken His people. He did not leave Abraham, Joshua, David, nor will He leave you. The enemy may whisper that you are alone and too tired to continue but the reason why you are still standing today is because of Jesus.
God does not need your shortcuts. He only needs your surrender. Follow peace. Choose holiness. Trust His process.
