THE PANTING SOUL-2

Text : Psalms 42:1

As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.

The Psalmist made it very clear that his soul pants after the Lord just as the deer pants after the water brooks. If that is the same way your soul is panting for the Lord, then, that means the Lord is all you've got. He is all your hope and stay. He is your life and your essence.

One of the scenarios that fits perfectly into this Psalms 42 was when King David was running helter-skelter from the king Saul.

Though, king Saul had all the wherewithal and opportunities to get hold of David and kill him within few days, but the Lord whom David trusted in wholeheartedly delivered him.

David's soul panted after the Lord as the only one  who could save him, and the Lord truly saved him. The learning point here is that you must truly and genuinely  long for the Lord as your all in all.

There are times when you will find yourself in a critical situation, and  you find it difficult to believe the Lord with all your heart. At such times, you must summon courage to long after the Lord.

Is your soul solely seeking the Lord?

Is your soul really panting for the Lord as the deer pants for the brook of water? 

Is the Lord your only option for living or you've got other options?
*If Jesus Christ is ALL you've got, then you've gotten it ALL* 

 *Bible Reading* 

Psalms 42:1-6.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.Father Lord, I pray that my soul long for you as the only satisfying waters of Peace and Joy from now on in Jesus  name.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
