WHY ALL FLESH TROOP TO HIM
READ Psalm 65
Psalms 65:2, KJV
"O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come."
Why do some attract multitude - having them flock round them like swarm of bees? Is it because of their strong perfume? It is because of charm, skill, favour, anointing, gift or attraction they manifest. What you must know is this. Vultures are not just seen gathering like that. They could only be found gathering round a carcass. Unless something is dead, you won't see the community of vultures gather round the table. They always ask, "what will it profit us?" What draws them is the carcass itself. They come for nothing else but that.
Matthew 24:28, AMP
"Wherever there is a fallen body (a corpse), there the vultures (or eagles) will flock together."
Did you see now that vultures just don't come around? It's rather because of something that benefits them. Who's that icon, superstar that has more fans or followers than God? If God was on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn etc, the likes and comments He'll rake in in an hour would be much than that of the whole earth put together! You'll read His comments and you'll be tired. As this one is saying, "thank you sir for the answered prayer"; this is saying, "amen." They're just uncountable patronising Him and that's how they'll keep trooping in like all bodies of water empty themselves into the ocean.
Today's Psalm says, "unto you will all flesh come.." Why will all flesh seek Him? Don't they have businesses to do? Why would their attention be turn to God? Why won't they seek Him when He is said to be He that answers prayers.
The multitude you see at the corridor or the court who have come to worship in spirit and in truth throng to Him because of His deed. God has already being proven. He is said to be One that answers prayers. On that testimony, we can as well climb to receive from Him. No one climbs to Him who first don't believe He exists.
Hebrews 11:6, KJV
" But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
Do you know why that place says, "but without faith it's impossible to please God: for he that comes to Him must believe that He is and that He's a rewarder of those that diligently seeks Him."
It is because God is invisible. For as many that will come to Him, they must believe that He is first of all. That He exists somewhere and and that when they come to Him or call on His name, He gives answers and replies. He is the need meeting God. No need is too challenging to be met. If you visit some affluent people, they'll ask you, "what do you want to eat?" They're not asking out of pride. They only want to satisfy you and to tell you the truth, they have everything at home. God has a warehouse for all type of needs. When you pray, like a Father Christmas deeps his hands in a pouch to bring out a parcel, so does He. It is readily available. Your request can't shock Him.
This is why God is the One we're all following. Who goes where he sees no profit? Who invests in a business with a guarantee of no returns? No one does that. So, why God commands such a large crowd known for its multitude whose number we'll even lose counting is because He has made Himself important by meeting people's needs. I don't know that artisan that people patronizes more than God. What value does he actually offer that would make people queue at his door? For what? Who's he? But when it comes to this attractor, He collects the attention of the whole world for Himself yet He opens no amazement park. He only gives answers to the cries of people. For this, people keep mounting to Him, seeking His face and seeking His help. If you're reading this devotional now, you're doing so as to be attended to by He that all flesh come to. Did you see that we've not left talking yet that verse is finding fulfilment.
May you be this important. May the value you offer multiply as to have men come to you. Wherever people get irritated and goes off far from you, may it be amended if it's spiritually caused.
The Psalmist was overwhelmed. He said, "O thou..." He wonders at how God keeps printing output for men yet without his ink or printer developing a fault. Look, God is a satellite that's somewhere in heaven that sends signals to the earth. It is this signal that He sends, that we interpret and then receives as the answers to our prayers.
God is an answering God. You've heard the testimony of the Psalmist. On the strength of that, mount up to Him and ask Him to meet a need or needs in your life. Go up in boldness.
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for being Shammah (the Lord is there) and Jireh (the Provider). I thank you for you hear.
