APPETITE


Text: Psalms 42:1.


 *As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.* 


One of the major signs of life is appetite. On a norms,  a long-term loss of appetite needs a medical attention. 


Appetite is the desire for food and water. Just as this desire is important for life in the natural, so it is in the Spirit also.

1Peter 2:2 says As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:


Only the dead has ceased from hunger. Anyone who cannot feel hunger for food anymore is either dead or having cancerous disease. If anyone is suffering from such disease,  I pray that the healing power of God makes you whole now in Jesus name.


A new born baby needs not be taught on how to desire food. It's  an inborn thing, a reflex action that occurs naturally. 


Jesus said, *blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.* Matthew 5:6.

From this, you can see that only those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed.  


Anyone who has lost appetite for God and His righteousness is sick spiritually and needs spiritual attention. 


*What you hunger and thirst for, is the determinant of the nature that you carry-Carnal or Christlike nature.* A lion hungers after flesh and blood because it is a carnivorous animal, A sheep hungers for pasture because it's a herbivorous animal. A deer pants after the water brooks. What are you hungry for?


So many children of God no longer have appetite for God and His things- righteousness. 


The way out of this deplorable state is first and foremost acknowledgement. You must be sincere enough with yourself to know if your appetite for God had really diminished or if  it's outrightly dead.

2 Corinthians  13:5 says *Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?* 


Beloved,  examine yourself today so you'll not be examined by the heaven's court when it will be too late.


Note that it takes someone who had tasted of the spiritual things to lose appetite for such, if you have never being born in the Spirit,  your case is not loss of appetite,  you must first and foremost be born again.


Secondly,  you must cry out to God to revive your love (appetite) for Him. Tell Him to revive and boost your appetite all over again. 



 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Ask the Lord to stir up a fresh hunger and thirst for His righteousness in your heart. 


Bible Reading : 


Isaiah 55:1-3.

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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
