Hello,

Desire - Sunday 28th of April 2024

Philippians 4:11-13 NKJV

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: [12] I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. [13] I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Prayer: I will be satisfied with what the Lord gives me and not be greedy in Jesus name.

I understand that most of us have things we’re looking for in life. It is good to have aspirations however they need to be kept in check and remain balanced always.

states of mind that are expressed by terms like wanting, wishing, longing, or craving.

The words; wish, want, fancy, aspiration, yearning, eagerness, and determination come to mind.

Exodus 20:17 NKJV

"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."

If we are true to ourselves and really genuine, we will admit that some of our prayers as believers have been as a result of someone else’s achievement.

Our so called faith at times is actually ‘’I want because of”

Find room to appreciate God because someone else has received. No agenda prayer.

Ecclesiastes 1:8 NKJV

All things are full of labor; Man cannot express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor the ear filled with hearing.

Can you look and it ends there?

Can you hear and it remains at that?

Ecclesiastes 6:9 NKJV

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

Wants will and keeps getting most of us in trouble. We keep coming back to God with the same prayer of forgiveness because of it.

Proverbs 30:15-16 NKJV

The leech has two daughters- Give and Give! There are three things that are never satisfied, Four never say, "Enough!": [16] The grave, The barren womb, The earth that is not satisfied with water- And the fire never says, "Enough!"

When will you stop taking?
