TRUE SEEKERS

READ: Mark 7:24-30

For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:- Amos 5:4

This lady, who was a Greek woman – a Syrophonecian, came to seek Jesus. Greece is very far from Israel. Jesus Christ was nowhere near Greece and yet this Greek woman sought for Him in Israel.

We know that Jesus Christ did not travel any more than sixty-five miles from his birthplace. Jesus was close to home. But this woman from Greece, thousands of miles away, was seeking Him in Israel. The sense that someone is seeking you, desiring something from you, stirs up the gift of God. The sense that someone does not even notice your presence can quench your spirit. The opposite of that is to see someone who yearns for you, longs for you, desires your input and craves your touch.

Every seeker is a stirrer of the anointing. Whatever you have within you will be released when you encounter seekers. As soon as Jesus encountered this Syrophenician woman, the gift of God was stirred up in Him.

When the nobleman saw Jesus, he besought Him to come along to his house (John 4:46-53). This means that he pleaded and begged Jesus to come. The way you ask and plead reveals your faith, your love and your belief in the person’s compassion.
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
Psalm 33:18
When you express faith in someone’s kindness and mercy, it stirs him up to be more merciful. Your hopeful eyes and your pleading eyes stir him up to be merciful. All he wants to do is to extend mercy because he sees that you expect mercy. You must come before God with hopeful and pleading eyes. God is full of compassion for you.

Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find!
