NOTHING SATISFIES

Text :  1 Timothy 6:6.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

We learn very quickly in life that *humans' needs are insatiable. The more you get the more you want to get more, beware of covetousness.* 

As a student in a class, you desire to move to the next class,  once you are in the next  you desire the next.

As a fresh graduate,  you desire a juicy job, once you bagged this achievement, you start craving for promotion,  once gotten,  you crave for more and more.

As a tenant,  you pray to have a house of your own, once you become a landlord, you want to have more and more.

Basically, *there's is a void in man that no success or achievement in this world can satisfy. This void was created by God, and only God can fill it.* 

The earlier you understood this truth, the easier life becomes for you.

Man is wired to hunger and thirst. This is why people are struggling for survival in a rat race that seems never to end. 

However,  Jesus said in John 6:35 that, *I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.* 

Jesus is the only bread that satisfies. When you go after Him, you will never go hungry, when you believe on Him you will never thirst.

Man is wired to seek. At times, you wonder what the overly rich of this world are still searching for. Man can go to the moon, to the space and wherever and still keep seeking and never find. 

There's nothing wrong in searching or seeking, but the issue is, many are seeking the wrong things.

To fill the void in you, you need the Lord, so seek Him with all your heart. Deuteronomy 4:29 says, 'If from there you will seek the LORD your God, then you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and soul'

Again, Jeremiah  29:13 says  And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 

ONLY JESUS CAN QUENCH YOUR UNENDING THIRST.


 *Bible  Reading :* 

1 Timothy 6:3-10.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, I receive the grace to seek you with the whole of my life, knowing well that only you can satisfy my soul.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
