 *God is interested in every minute details of your life* 

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Luke 12:6-7NIV

Many still wonder why some prayers they have placed before God have not received visible response or expressible indication that God is doing something about them. This has led some people to conclude that God does not love them as much as He loves others, and in some cases, they begin to doubt that God actually exist. They imagine that if God really existed, He would have hurried up to solve the problems which they considered needed urgent attention.

There are those who think that they are not important enough for God to act on their cases. They still love God and remain in the church, but they have accepted a status that is not true about their position in Christ. These kind have thrown their fate to the wind, and they move about mournfully

Let us piece up the text here

The God who cares for common sparrows will care for anything. Yes, you are worth more than sparrows and so be assured that God cares for you

Five sparrows are sold for two pennies, which does not make God overlook them.

 God does not need the sparrows to remain God. Rather, it is the sparrows that need God to survive. So God is dealing with the sparrows according to His benevolence, not because of the financial worth of the sparrows

God does not and can not forget us. It is not in His character to just forget. 

This word is coming from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. The Lord Jesus Christ says that we should accept everything He said as direct from the father because He and the Father are one. Any other spirit that tells you that God has forgotten you is from the enemy of God; the devil. Rather, God is dealing with important details of your life, and He is not focusing on your screaming or complaining. This is expressed in the phrase, “the hairs on your head are numbered”. That means DETAILS. When things are counted without being numbered, there may not be specific information about them. Numbering them means that each of them gets specific attention.

This means that God is dealing with every area of your life, and He is careful that urgent things do not take the place of important things. Yes, this is where we make serious mistake; we often give attention to urgent things because they are screaming and jumping before us. In this way, many people have discovered that only too late that marriage should have waited so they can get a good education.

 There are those who discovered that if they only took more time to get a kind of training, instead of rushing into quick money, they would not have lost their future and children the way they did. God is dealing with us based on the whole picture and vision of what He wants to work out in your life.

The first thing God wants for you is that you secure your place in the book of life. You might have spent the past twenty years praying to go abroad, but God is focused on the fact that if you don’t give your life to Christ, you will end up in eternal doom in hellfire. Unfortunately, you may see things differently, and so you are working hard at other things. He is holding those things back because of the larger picture. You might have been praying for political appointments, but God wants you to grow up spiritually so that you will be able to weather the spiritual challenges associated with politics. But you may think otherwise, and instead of spending much time studying the word of God and sitting down to understand sound bible teachings, you are running from one prophet to another.

One other important thing God wants every believer to have is the in-filling of the Holy Spirit. Yet, many Christians are not focused on that. They are contented with what the prophets will tell them. They are satisfied each time they are given a white handkerchief or bottle of olive to pray with. God lays greater importance on nothing else for the believer in Christ Jesus as He holds for our coming to be filled with the Holy Spirit. A Christian without the in-filling of the Holy Spirit is vulnerable endangered species of a human being. He is not safe! He is not secured!

God wants us to be filled with Himself. Holy Spirit is God indwelling you. He is the key and power to pursue, overtake and recover all. God does not groom thumb lickers as His children. All those thumb-licking generation of Christians that we see everywhere are living at discount of the grace of God.

Isaac and Rebeca spent twenty years praying for fruit of the womb but God knew that they were not ready for children. Yes, that you are ripe in age does not mean that you are ripe in character. After much pestering and pleading, God gave them a pair of twin. It became clear that they were not ready because they turned Esau and Jacob into two rival political parties. The boys parted ways in a painful way and they never were able to trust themselves because of divisive parenting 

Are you praying for life partner?

Are you praying for financial breakthrough?

Are you praying for a job?

Are you praying for social elevation?

Are you praying for contracts?

Whatever you are asking from God, I want you to understand from today that God has no problem with blessing you but He is looking at the whole details of your life.

Pray today that God will fill you with Himself in the person of the Holy Spirit.

Halleluiah!

We can also see that there is no way God will eventually lose us in the crowd. He knows us by our number. Yes, if we are missing the counting will not tally. 

Yes, hold that firmly! No matter who God has blessed, your turn will come.

I believe that this is what the Psalmist sees about God here.

He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit Ps 147:4-5 NIV

Hey! If you are serving the same God as I do, then rejoice because that is the God we are talking about.
