Are we seeking Jesus for the easy life, for financial blessing and a life that is trouble free, basically we want to be rich and have pleasure after pleasure following the pattern of a fallen world.
If you are seeking prosperity and asking Jesus for a luxury lifestyle you are going to be disappointed. If you are seeking Jesus looking for miracle after miracle, then you’re again going to be disappointed. Jesus is not a tool to make you rich and live an extravagant life, or to provide you with thrill after thrill carrying out miracle after miracle. We are here to serve Him, and to pursue eternal life. He are scriptures that talk of eternal life spoken by Jesus Himself.
John 3:36, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.”
John 4:14, “But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
When we have given our lives to the Lord, we are here to do His will in our lives, whatever that looks like. We must seek Jesus with genuine motives, and everything else will follow. Provision will be there for us to live our lives and miracles will come that are in line with Gods plans and purposes.

Sometimes it can take a while to see a miracle happen. But when they do happen, oh the joy it brings! A prayer written down on 30th January 2024 that contained a list of names asking God to save these people and lead them to His kingdom.

Welcome to the kingdom Luke, Sean, Declan and Andrew.
What we are saying is this. Live the life God has called you to live seeking Gods plans and purposes for your life, not your own. Pray and continue to pray and the miracles will happen as and when they should. Don’t become a thrill seeker looking for miracle after miracle. Living a Godly life the best you can doing everything for Him, with Jesus at the centre will give you the kind of water that satisfies and causes you never to thirst.
