DO YOU THIRST FOR GOD?

 


The soul always yearns for its Maker. It was created to get connected with Him in a loving relationship. The soul that does not desire and have nothing to do with God is gravelly dead. The primary work of the soul is to love God and live in Him. 


David, the Psalmist, knew the need of the soul-- God. Even when the soul is spiritually chained or stained by the world, it still crave to get closer to God. When the deer is looking for water, it can travel to a very far place just for a drink. It doesn't matter how far you will go with God if your soul is truly longing for Him! Is your soul longing to draw nearer to God, or you're drawing far from him?


"As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?" (Psalm 42:1-2)

JESUS CHRIST OUR REDEEMER

  *SCRIPTURE*📜 _"Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him also shall the son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his father with the holy angels (MarK 8:38)._ ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ *MESSAGE*📖 Do we really love God? Are we doing His will? Can others see God through us? The Lord has commanded us to preach the Gospel to those who are lost. Brethren, are we doing that or feeling ashamed to preach the Word of God? If we are not preaching the Word, it means we are not obeying Him. JESUS CHRIST loves us so much that He does not want us to lose our souls on the last day, but if we do not heed to His teaching and counsels, we will end up in hell fire. He will be ashamed of us on the last day because we were first ashamed of Him in this world for not accepting and preaching about Him to others. Let others see that you are for Him and when He return, He will never be ashamed of you before His Father. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ PRAYE

CHRIST WAS TEMPTED AS WE ARE

  When Christ Jesus walked the earth, He passed through all the physical things that humans are passing through. He was tempted  like we are. He fought battles in the mind, and even His emotions. However,  He ignored and didn't fall into those temptations. He was filled with the Word for He is the Word Himself. There is no weaknesses and needs of man that He doesn't know. He has provided the solution for our sins and all we need to do is to come boldly to His throne of grace to be cleansed and receive His grace to obey Him. Grace isn't a ticket to sin, but an aid to live to please God. Since Christ knows all about human nature and the weaknesses, let's come boldly to Him in faith, not fear or guilt for He will never cast us out. Hebrews 4:15-16 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to
