HUNGER

TEXT : Matthew 5:6.

How blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness,   because it is they who will be satisfied!

Hunger is a craving or urgent need for food or a specific nutrient. Hunger is a sign of life. A dead person can't feel hungry. When you are hungry, the healthy thing to do is to eat, but I will like to add that; to eat good and balanced diet.

This is so true with spiritual things. There's a blessedness attached with being hungry for righteousness. The truth is, if you are not hungry and thirsty for righteousness,you will not get it. Your hunger for righteousness connotes the following:

1.) *It shows you are alive.* One of the symptoms of sickness or disease is loss of appetite. In the same vein, when you are no longer having desires for the things of the Spirit, know that you are spiritually sick and you need spiritual attention.

2.) *It reveals your desire for food.* It's easier to feed a hungry child than a full one. Only the hungry can be satisfied by God.

Psalms 107:9 says, "For he satisfies the longing soul.   He fills the hungry soul with good." This is why David said in Psalms 42:1 that, *As the deer pants for the water brooks,   so my soul pants after you, God.* 

If you want to know how you should really hunger (desire) and thirst for righteousness, check how the deer thirst after the water brook.

God doesn't force Himself on anybody. If you are not hungry for Him, you will not be fed by Him. If you seek Him, you will find Him. He says in Proverbs  8:17 that _I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me._ 

There's a blessing that follows those who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness. They will always be satisfied with good. The question is, what are you hungry for?


*BIBLE READING* : 

Psalms 42:1-11.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father God, please increase my appetite for you and your righteousness.

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
