“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.” Act 10:34-35.
God is a principled God. He does not operate by sentiment. When you walk in His word, you move Him. David learned in a hard way that crying does not move him but faith does. In 1Samuel 30, when they had cried and nothing happened, he sought to know the will of God concerning the situation. And when he acted on God’s word, He received victory.
Beloved, God does not expect you to operate by sentiment but by the principle of His word. Someone says it is detrimental to be sentimental. Action based on the principle of God’s word will make you to please God, protect you against the enemy, and give you success at all times (Joshua 1:8).
In Act 10, Although Cornelius was not saved, he sought the Lord in fasting, praying and giving of alms, and God accepted him. God sent Peter to preach salvation to him. God saved him and his household and also baptized them in the Holy Spirit. If you do what God commanded, you will be accepted and He will ensure that you get what you need even when you never ask for it.
Remain blessed
