TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1
Everybody has a desire and some desires glorify GOD, while some do not. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something. Many get trapped by their desires. The LORD our GOD knows our needs, desires and expectations; we are to delight ourselves in the LORD, commit our ways unto the LORD so he can give us our desires. Psalm 37 vs. 4-5: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Many have desires that are against GOD’s will. Many have desires that will take the place of GOD. Many have desires that will lead to disobedience to GOD’s will. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 vs. 5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of CHRIST. There are imaginations and desires that will repel a man from GOD’s plan and will for his life. We have to be mindful in our imaginations and desires. When a man’s desire is against GOD’s will, it destroys the man. Many have been trapped and consumed by their desires, because it is contrary to GOD’s plan for them. The LORD our GOD is OMNISCIENCE, OMNIPOTENT AND OMNIPRESENCE. OMNISCIENCE means He knows all things; OMNIPOTENT means He is all powerful, OMNIPRESENCE means He is present everywhere. GOD knows all things, He created ALL. He is the ALL SUFFICIENT GOD. He knows that desire in your heart, He knows the right time to answer that petition and request of yours; He is able to do all things, He is the sovereign GOD, All power belong to HIM. That desire of yours can be granted, provided it is in line with GOD’s will.

                Imagine a two years old boy desiring to have a ride at his age; GOD would not provide that at his age, but will provide at the right time. GOD knows the best for our lives, but we are so impatience at times. That impatience has destroyed a lot of people; when you exalt your imaginations and desires against GOD’s will for your life, you regret afterwards. Many have envied others wealth and fame and are desperate to be more wealthy and famous. Many envy evil men without reverencing GOD. Proverbs 23 vs. 17-18: Let not thine heart envy sinners; but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectations shall not be cut off. There is an end to your waiting period, there is an end to your trials, there is an end to your sorrows, there is an end to your grievances; there is an end to your difficulties, there is an end to your hopelessness. With GOD your future is bright, with GOD your hopes can be restored, with GOD your expectations will not be cut off; with GOD your heart desires can be granted, provided it is in accordance with His will. Tomorrow, we shall see biblical examples of people who were trapped by their own desires. Look forward reading that and don’t forget to share with others. It is well with us….

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
