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 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
