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….

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE! Compliments of the season from this side of the world to you all!!! Knowledge of the Truth is back and better this year. And I pray this year shall be a favorable one for us all. The word Faithful means reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhering firmly to a rule. It means consistency. It means fidelity. As a wife, it is expected you are reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhere to your husband’s rule and command. Ephesians 5 vs. 22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD. The husband is in charge of his wife in the same way CHRIST is in charge of his body the Church. A submissive wife will be faithful without any conditions. She makes fidelity her watchword. A submissive wife obeys all her husband rule and command. A submissive wife is conscious of her wrongs. A submissive wife yields to authority (her husband’s). A submissive wife will always stand by her husband in thick and thin. A submissive wif

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

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS This is a very fascinating topic, dreams are not delusions. Many do think dreams are just fictions, some see as a normal way of life. Many do not take their dream serious which shouldn’t be, some see dreams as delusions, some don’t even dream, why some forget what they dreamt about. Dream is a medium in which GOD communicates with us, he communicates to us through vision, trance and also consciences, but we are discussing about dream. Although, many a time what you are thinking about before you sleep, you might see it again; but majorly it does not continue like that. The bible said in Job 33 vs 15: In dreams, in vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they lie on their beds; he opens their ears in time like that and gives them wisdom and instruction. That is just a picture of dream, everyone has a dream land; but some’s has been tampered with by the devil. A dream land is an avenue for dreams; GOD gives instructions to us in the dream, ju
