Can You Wow God?

Wow, what a question...
I believe it you can wow God. Now I know what you are thinking. How can you possibly wow God. What hasn't He seen before. There's nothing new under the sun! He knows everything so why wow Him. Before I start, lets try to give the word "wow" some meaning to it. Its probably what you thinking though. To make God say "wow!" Exactly.

Now one of the things that wows you is when something awesome you were not expecting happens. Or someone does something you were not expecting. The key here is expectation. Does God have an expectation of us? Yes he does. God knows us and knows what to require of us. Look at Job 1:8 when God told Satan, have you considered my servant Job. The verse said that, "...there's non like him in the earth, a perfect and upright man who feared the Lord..." Job must have done something to make God talk about him like that to His adversary.

Now note two things about this verse in Job.
First God calls Job His servant
Second, God tells of how and why God is speaking so highly him.

Note that even as we got human servants, there are expectations of servants. We expect them to play their role and do their assigned tasks. Now when they go above and beyond what they are required to do as servants, you as their master is wowed. Now I'm not talking about doing a little above what you were asked to do. That will only impress the master which is okay. I'm talking doing Above and Beyond. Like I ask my servant to build me a hen coop and when I return, I see an ultra modern hen space fitted with the most advanced technology to make experience of the hens simply amazing. It is fitted with state of the art sensors to give me real-time data on the statuses of vitals in hen space on my phone. I mean I wanted a hen coop but here is someone who has thought through the need of the master to get an amazing output. Also know that for the servant to do this, he has to know what the master likes and what the master is not a fan of. Not everybody likes technology. Not everybody will be impressed by it. I fact it will be even a bother if the person is not into it.

Again for humans, some or most are not so much impressed about something they have encountered before and so the general attitude is like, oh yeah, that, I have seen that before! Its not anything! Sometimes, the fact that you have seen it before may even stir up pride within you. Something like, if you see man of God ministering powerfully under the anointing, the first time you see it, you are wowed. The longer you stay at it might make you familiar to the awe if you don't check yourself because that is the general case.

However thank God that our God does not change. He the same from the beginning and ever shall be. Its why we don't have a version 2 of the bible or an updated version. The same things that wowed him still wows Him today. Oh yeah. If that's the case then, lets dive into the bible and look for people who wowed him; For God to say wow!

Well first person and you guessed right. Jesus. Yes God the father Himself said, Behold, this is my beloved son, in WHOM I'm well pleased. Now God can be pleased with you that's fine, but when God says I'm well pleased with you, that's wow.

Okay so you like well that's Jesus! How will He not wow His dad!
I got good news for you. He's your dad too.

Lets continue with more instances.

Let's look at the life of Abraham. Abraham was know to be a man of faith. His name is mentioned in Hebrews when faith is discussed. By faith even though he was past age--and Sarah herself was barren--was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise.
By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son.

Bible says then that without faith, you cannot please Him. That's your starting point!

Its very easy to think that it is because of what you do that makes God pleased. The Bible says however that, it is faith, which isn't something you do, however it's something you got within.

Since we want to be God to be well pleased and not just pleased then something has to happen to the faith. Bible makes us understand that faith are in levels. To every man is given a measure of faith (Rom 12:4). Jesus also tells people of how little their faith were.( oh ye of little faith). If faith can be little, then it can be great too. The greater it is, the better you'll be at pleasing God. So then the question is, how do I get great faith then. Bible says in verse that faith comes by hearing and hearing God's word. But there's a pre-requisite. You can easily jump into going to read your Bible or slotting in that tape or watching that video. Before that, you need to be in presence of someone, the person Holy Spirit. Without Him, your Bible reading and tape listening is zilch, Naada! For God to speak to you, you need to be in His presence. Same as on earth, if your earthly father or anyone for that matter is speaking and you want to hear, you draw closer to hear. You be in His presence to hear Him speak.

Pleasing God starts from the Holy Spirit. Its takes God to show you how to please Him and go further to wow Him. Before that, as a servant of God, you need to spend time to know Him so you can become the servant that built a state of the art hen space much to the delight of his master and the master was wowed Not because it was state of the art technology, but because it was what the master liked! The similarity between all the men who wowed God in the Bible is that they were close to God and what they did is as a result of their closeness to God and their faith.

So to put it all together, so "wowing" God begins with being in His presence which is presence of the Holy Spirit.
