Relationship or Situationship Pt. 2: Are You Following God for Who He Is or What He Gives?

Core Message

True relationship with God is built on who He is and what He wills, not on what He provides — and believers must move from need-driven situationships into genuine belief in Jesus as the One the Father sent.

Key Scripture

Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. — John 6:28-29 (KJV)

3 Key Takeaways

1. Listening requires decoding and understanding God's intention, not merely hearing His words — most believers hear but never truly listen or obey.
2. Scripture is the foundation of spiritual life, not the ceiling; making the Bible your limit keeps you anchored to what God did rather than open to what He is doing now.
3. A situationship with God is entirely need-driven and self-centered, whereas genuine relationship is rooted in believing in Jesus as the One the Father sent and seeking His will above your own agenda.

Prayer Focus

Pray that God would transform your connection with Him from a self-centered situationship into genuine relationship, teaching you to listen with a hearing heart and to believe in Him for who He is rather than what He provides.
