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...

DECEITFULNESS OF SIN 2

TEXT. Hebrews 3:13  *But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin* .  *While deceit is a sin, Sin itself is deceitful.* Sin has the capacity to lure a man to do stuffs. *One of the major vices of the devil is to make sin appear attractive and unharmfult.* If Eve could see what the consequences of eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil would be, she would have resisted the deception of the man of sin. She was simply deceived.Gen, 3:6 While it is no news that all sinners are already condemned to deceitfulness of sin, it is sad to know that many children of God (like Adam and Eve), are being easily deceived by Sin. See the case of Ananias and Sapphira, Acts 5:1-13. Many Christians today are still playing the same game of smartness this couple played. I call it smartness because that was what they thought they were doing. While they thought they were smart, Peter knew that Satan h...
