Zac Poonen emphasizes the distinction between seeking God's blessings and seeking His approval, highlighting that many believers are content with material blessings while neglecting a deeper, God-centered life. He contrasts two groups in Revelation: a vast multitude blessed by God and a smaller group who have God's approval for their faithful lives. Poonen warns that material blessings do not equate to God's approval, as seen in biblical examples where God blessed disobedient ministries. True spirituality involves a shift from self-centeredness to a life focused on pleasing God and serving others. Ultimately, the goal is to have the testimony of pleasing God, as exemplified by Jesus and the faithful in Scripture.
