DEEPER LIFE

-
Text :  Psalms 42:1. 

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

The desperate need of this generation is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people. There are too many shallow people in our world today. 

Deep down within you, you desire a deeper and fuller living. Inwardly, there's a crave to delve into a deeper life in God,  the only obstacle is How?

Psalms 42:7 says *Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterspouts: all your waves and your billows are gone over me.* 

It takes someone with depth to crave for more depth, a shallow man has no desire for depth in any way.

To go deeper with God, you need a holy dissatisfaction with where you're at the moment. You can't feed a full man. In the same way, God can't do anything with a man who has no need of Him and for Him.

A man who is full of himself before God is the biggest fool of all times.

Matthew 5:3 says Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of God belongs only to those who know they have great need of God.

The first step to going deeper in God is to have a hunger and thirst for Him.

Ask God to empty you of every junks that have quenched your appetite for Him.

Bible  Reading :

Psalms 42:1-11

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, please empty me of every junks that I have gathered over the years that has reduced my appetite for you and your kingdom.

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
