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 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
