As a deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O, God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go & meet with God? (Psalm 42:1-2). Church, let us have a set time when we meet with God in His Word & in prayer daily. God respects such a time & shows up on time for fellowship with Him. We call this time - a QUIET TIME. I meet God daily at 05.00 am, (Central African time). This is my slot with Him & I am benefitting a lot from that appointment & FELLOWSHIP with Him. Prayer: Father, I have a hunger & thirst for your RIGHTEOUSNESS. My soul pants for you, O God. I want to know MORE of You. As I devote myself to prayer & to the Word of God, give me MORE of the Holy Spirit's presence. Show me MORE of your glory. Make me MORE righteous. Give me the grace to read or study Your Word MORE, commit it to memory MORE, meditate on it MORE, & apply it to my life MORE. Give me the grace to worship you in spirit & in truth. Help me to serve you with a whole & a willing mind so that I am able to be a good example to your people as I follow the example of Christ. Fill us with your love, joy & peace. As we repent, fill us with your Holy Spirit & lead us in the way everlasting. Help me not to rest on my present successes. I need MORE of You. Let the fruit of the Spirit increase in my life. Make me MORE loving, MORE humble, MORE forgiving in Jesus name. Make me MORE & MORE like Christ. Perform extraordinary miracles, signs, & wonders by my hands today. Give me the grace to win massive souls through this ministry that you have committed into my hands. I praise you highly & majestically. Release your PEACE that surpasses all understanding into our lives. Put your angels to action. Thank you Jesus for hearing & answering my prayer. In Jesus mighty name we pray, believe & give you thanks, Amen. Good morning Holy Spirit. Immanuel: God with us. I rise & shine.
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds & write them on their hearts. I will be their God, & they will be My people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying: Know the Lord, because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:10-11). If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult. We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...
