"What Happens When We Seek God?"

Greetings, my friends.

The most incredible adventure and rewarding aspect of life is having an intimate relationship with God.

He provides everything we need for a rich, fulfilling, and satisfying as well as long life when we walk by faith in the promises He makes to us.

God promises to answer and reward all who earnestly seek Him.

"I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears."  Psalms 34:4
"But those who seek the LORD lack no good thing." Psalms 34:10

Be confident that God sees you and will answer you.  Patiently wait for Him to answer.

"What Happens When We Seek God?"

Greetings, my friends. Tony Williams here. God loves you unconditionally.

God sees you where you are right now, and God has this message that He's sharing through me to us today. What happens when we seek God? When we seek God, God's number one priority for us is to seek Him, to know Him, and have an intimate relationship with Him through Jesus Christ, His Son. Who is but God who died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins and your sins, and to give us the power, when we place our trust and faith and confidence in Him, to become children of God.

And with that privilege, God says, when we call upon Him, He will answer us, when we seek God. Earlier this week, I awoke earlier in the morning, and I had on my heart a song.

I sought the Lord, and He heard, and He answered. I sought the Lord, and He heard, and He answered. And I was thinking, this is you speaking to my heart, Lord.

And I found it in Psalm 34: 4. Listen to what God promises. I sought the Lord, and He answered me. He delivered me from all my fears.

But those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are attentive to their cry: Psalm 37, verses 4 through 15.

God is saying to you and to me, my friends, wherever you are, you could be in Germany, you could be in India, you could be in the UK, you could be in Russia, you could be in the United States, wherever you are in the world as you listen to your Father speak to you. He says, "When you seek me, you will lack no good thing."  And He promises in Matthew 6: 33, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

Over the past two decades or more, I have claimed that promise from God. I sought you, Lord, and you answered me. You delivered me from all my fears, and you have given me so many good things.

I've made you my priority, and I thank you for all the good things you're doing in my life. The blessings that God has in store for you, my friends, and your loved ones, the overflow of God's blessings in your life will overflow to your loved ones, your families, your clients, wherever you are in the world. Begin to make seeking God your number one priority.

Intimacy with God, that's His highest priority for you and for me. And when we make that our priority, God says, I'm going to give you all these other things. Here's something that God brought to my attention.

It was over two decades ago when I asked God to help me. God showed me how He miraculously moved from one circumstance to the following circumstance to the following circumstance, and how He took care of each one. His message to me this morning, which I shared with you, is, "I am a faithful God." 

What does that mean? What does that look like? It means that what you see in the Bible, the promises that God makes to you, God says, "I will fulfill those promises in your life."

What must we do? We must make Him our priority. Make our relationship with Him our priority. Read the scriptures, meditate on them, talk with God about them, and ask Him to make them a reality in your life, in your work, in your family, in the circumstances you face.

And when we do this, God is glorified because He begins to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully His. So, when we seek the Lord, my friends, there are benefits and rewards that God promises to provide for us. Listen to what He says in Hebrews 11, verse 6. He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

When we make Him our priority, God rewards us. I can name so many rewards that He's given me, and He also has promised to do the same thing for you. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, my friends, in Germany.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you, my friends, here in the U.S., in the UK, in India, all around the world, as you make God your priority, and as you seek God, what He will do for you. Let me share this testimony of God's to me. On December 27th, 2022, I wrote beside Psalm 37, verses 4, 10, and 15, "a new assignment, Lord", in quotation marks.

I was asking God to bless me with a new assignment. During this time, my company underwent numerous changes, and God instructed me to wait until He provided further guidance. And I believe that's what God is saying to someone who's listening: "Wait until you have God's instruction on what to do next."

So, during this period, starting with December 27th, 2022, I made it my priority to seek the Lord. Less than six months later, on May 9th, 2023, the Lord blessed me with a company called the SELDI Company. The Lord promotes me to a new position in a new assignment - the President of this Company.

God is so good. That's only one example of the many I could share with you. And I'm sure many of you have examples of God's goodness when you sought Him, when you waited for Him, and how He acted on your behalf.

Why not share it with a loved one? Why not share it with someone who's listening? Wherever you are, let your light shine for God. Let your testimony about God's faithfulness when you sought Him, how He answered you. And God will use you, my friends, wherever you are in the world, to bring others to a saving knowledge of Him through Jesus Christ as their Savior and their Lord.

Because God's number one priority is to have all of His creation become children of God, to all who received Him, to all who believed in His name, Jesus. To them He gave the right to become children of God. Let that be true for you, your family, and the people that you touch in your life and career.

In Jesus' name, amen.
