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….

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...

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...
