DESIRE 2

Text :Proverbs 13:4 

*The soul of a lazy [man] desires, and [has] nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.*

We established yesterday that the reason for which desire kills is because of lazyness.(Proverbs 21:25).  

It is not God's plan that man's desire should kill him, but for lack of diligence, unfulfilled desire can kill. 

To achieve your desires in year 2022, you must:

 *1. Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established.*
Your thoughts contain the desires of your heart. So, only good and godly thoughts can be established by the Lord. And only works committed to the Lord, can be established as well.
This verse talks about your total dependence on the Lord.

 *2. Be dilligent:* 
From the dictionary, diligence is described as a combination of carefulness, long-term effort and working hard. 

Our text clearly states that the soul of the dilligent shall be made rich. Hence, you can as well say that the desire of the dilligent shall be fullfiled. 

 *3. Delight yourself in the Lord. Psalm 37:4* To delight oneself in the Lord is to be excited in Him. It is to find your Joy flow from Him despite all odds surrounding you. Recognising the Joy of the Lord as your strength is delighting yourself in the Lord.(Nehemiah 8:10).

For your soul to experience fatness in the year 2022, you must *Trust in the Lord, delight yourself in Him and be dilligent. These would certainly bring your desires to fruition* .


Bible reading: Psalms 37:3-7.

 *PRAYER FOCUS*

1. Commit your works in 2022 to the Lord.

2. Ask the Lord for grace to consistently delight yourself in the Lord in the year 2022.

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 portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
