Understanding the difference between saying you're ready and actually being ready for a miracle.
The importance of being prepared for the responsibilities that come with a blessing.
The Bible teaches that the blessing of the Lord does not add sorrow, but it may add responsibility.
Self-reflection is necessary to determine if you're truly ready for what you've been praying for.
you may say i'm ready but here's the question are you really ready okay it's one thing to say i'm ready but it's another thing to really be ready for example like i said with regard to me preaching in liquid church i'm sure my standard is not anywhere near the standard of liquid church Same way, you are expecting God to take you to level two. Are you getting yourself ready for level two? You are expecting God to, see, we keep praying, God, when will you take me to the palace like Joseph? But Joseph didn't reach the palace for him to go on a vacation. Joseph reached the palace and he had a huge responsibility on his shoulders. The question is, we all want the blessing. we don't know that the blessing has a responsibility attached to that. You may be praying, God, give me more money or let my business expand. Yes, God will give you more money. But now you have to pay more taxes. Are you ready for that? Now everybody is silent. Anyway, so, okay, like I was sharing one more example. You know, like God gave Job double for every trouble. You know, like this is a funny one. But, you know, somebody loses a kid and they say, God, give me two children for, you know, the one child I lost. Okay, God can give you. Now you have to pay the fees for two children instead of one. You know like little practical part I saying you know sometimes people don know what they asking for Don you never ask do you know what you asking for It wanting to just say I want the blessing It's wanting for me to preach, okay, for me, okay. Now, when I say, okay, the podcast is number one, that's a great blessing. But now, every time I go anywhere I go, I have to preach to the standard expected of being at number one. Earlier, okay, fine, okay, I get a microphone, record a message, over. now everything I have to take retake I have to check if suddenly I'm preaching one dog will bark so I have to redo all sorts of stuff I mean I mean yeah that's the problem so you're in India right so the dog barks again retake and retake so you know that's what I'm saying blessing is blessing great but there is the bible says the blessing of Lord does not add sorrow to it but it does not say the blessing of Lord does not add responsibility to it. Amen? Because people always focus on the blessing, not realizing about the responsibility part attached to it. So the question is now, whatever you've been praying for, now, whatever you've been believing for, now, whatever you've been waiting for, now, check yourself, introspect yourself and see, are you really ready for it? Okay? Don't your neighbor and say, are you really ready for it. Because it's easy to say I'm ready. It's easy for me to look from a distance and say I'm ready. But it's another thing for me to actually put myself in that position and see if I'm ready or not.
