How to do the works of God

WHAT MUST WE DO TO DO THE WORKS OF GOD 

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)

During the earthly ministry of Jesus everyone could evidently see that He was not doing His own work but that of God. Everything in and around the ministry of Jesus reveals the Father. Every action was sanctioned by the Father. This hundred percent God move generated mind blowing results. Men saw the outrageous power of God, they saw the love of God, heard God spoke to their ears everyday for thirty three and half years. 
Then in todays' anchor text, these people came to Jesus with a question. This question looked genuine, it looked like the question from the lips of one hungered for God, it resembled questions from the heart of one yearning desperately for God but alas it was a question just to know God and do miracles for their personal and economic gain. They had just been fed supernaturally and i feel they thought within themselves if they can operate in this dimension there will always be food in their homes and so forth. I truly wish it was a genuine cry from their heart. I wish it was a genuine desperation from a people looking to know God. 
Jesus brought them in through the door of the spirit to show them how to begin the works of God which is to believe in the One He has sent. Believeing in Jesus is the primary demand for anyone who will manifest the works of God. Anyone that is truly born again can do the works of God. 
Listen beloved, there are many believers today with false hunger. They fast, pray and study Scriptures but the bedrock of all of this is just so they could manifest the power of God. This is good but it is not complete and heaven will veto this thoroughly to see on what basis is this heartcry coming from. If it is from a heart which truly desperate for God then there is an introduction into more of God and effortlessly God manifests Himself in you. If you must truly experience God moving in you and through you then, you must be ready to believe Him deeply, intimately, honestly and totally. God cannot pour Himself in a selfish person. He cannot work through a selfish person who wants God for a personal goal or agenda. 

PRAYER: O Lord, I seek You in all genuineness and sincerity. I ask that the content of selfishness that has neen the bedrock of my pursuit of You is eliminated now in Jesus name. 

REMEMBER THIS: "Believe is a spiritual conception tool. It helps you to conceive what is in God and so receive from and of Him. That s why there is no receiving without believing" - Dr. Joel Dabbas
