DESIRE

DESIRE Desire is a strong wish to have or do something. It is just like temptation; temptation is the desire to do or have something you know is bad or wrong. The two goes together, we have a good / right desire and a wrong desire. A fellow could have a wish for a good thing; likewise a fellow could have a desire for a wrong thing. This write-up is to enjoin us desire to do the right things at the right time. 1 Corithians 10 vs 5: Yet after all this most of them did not obey GOD and he destroyed them in the wilderness; this is referring to the Israelite, by miracle GOD sent them food to eat and water to drink, where there is desert; he was with them as a mighty rock, he guided them in the wilderness by sending a cloud that moved along ahead of them; and he brought them all safely through the waters of the Red sea, yet. I repeat yet, after all this most of them did not obey GOD and he destroyed them in the wilderness. However, most of us in today’s world are like the Israelite; despite GOD’s love for us, despite his grace on us, despite sending his only begotten son to die for our sins, despite his provision and supplications, despite shielding and protecting us, yet we still do not obey him. We still desire after things not of GOD; may GOD in his mercy have mercy on us, so his anger and wrath won’t destroy us. The Israelite disobeyed GOD by desiring evil thing, they worshipped idol, they danced and worshipped a golden calf, some slept with other men’s wives, they murmured against GOD, so GOD sent his angel to destroy them. They desired all things evil, which are wrong desires and so GOD destroyed them. Most of us are like them today, we desire the things of the world, we harbor idol in our heart. An idol is not necessarily a graven or craved image; but anything you loved the most above GOD or anything you do the most; instead of doing GOD’s will is an idol. When you desire a thing not of GOD, you will have strong wish to have it; it becomes an idol. Many also murmur against GOD; the bible said don’t try the lord’s patience, though he is long suffering but he is a terrible mighty GOD. Don’t let GOD’s anger be kindled upon you, the scripture says it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of GOD. Therefore, we are to desire to do the right things at the right time; we are to desire to do GOD’s will, law and act. The ten commandment says thou shall have no other gods beside me, thou shall not bow down to any idol except me, thou shall not commit adultery. It is crystal clear beloved, unfortunately many still indulge in all these. There is a way out, the earlier the better confess and forsake all your sins, ask GOD for his holy spirit; because it will enable you desire the things of GOD. It allows you desire the things of GOD always. Desire to have the holy spirit and you will desire to do the right things. Stay blessed and share with others…….

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...

WORK ON THE WORD 2!

WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye.               Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24:  But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...
