KEEP LONGING

-

Text : Proverbs 10:24 ISV 

What the wicked fears will come about,   but the longing of the righteous will be granted.

To long is to have desires or expectations. Every body has longing for something. But the word of God says the desire(longing) of the wicked shall perish. Psalms 112:10. But the longing of the righteous shall be granted. Prov. 10:24.

What happens when the righteous has no longing?  It means nothing shall be granted, though an open cheque has been given to him. 

You are young and useful if you are still planning for another day. Don't ever give in to the lies of the devil. Don't ever give up on yourself, because God is not giving up on you. He said, there is surely a future life,  and what you hope for will not be cut off.Pro 23:18.

The only qualification needed to getting your desires met is for you to be a righteous man. "The expectations (longing) of the righteous shall be granted", regardless of race,  colour or age. 

As a matter of fact,  the scripture says The righteous will flourish like palm trees; they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Planted in the LORD’s Temple, they will flourish in the courtyard of our God.

 *They will still bear fruit even in old age; they will be luxuriant. Psalms 92:12-14* So age is not a barrier for  fruit bearing. You will blossom even in your old age, in as much as you are in the court of the Lord. 

ONE OF THE REASONS PEOPLE THROW IN THE TOWEL IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE STOPPED LONGING,  THEY HAVE LOST HOPE ON LIFE.THEY HAVE STOPPED LIVING,  THEY ARE ONLY EXISTING. 

KEEP LONGING, DON'T EVER LOSE SIGHT OF YOUR HOPE IN CHRIST. 

REMEMBER,  CHRIST IN YOU, IS THE HOPE OF GLORY.Col. 1:27.

Bible reading: Joshua 14:6-15.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
