WHAT IS YOUR DEEPEST DESIRE?

Memorise:
My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. .. Psalm 130:6

Read:
John 12:20-21

Message

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. Psalm 27:4

In the Scripture above and many other instances in the Bible, David expressed his desire to dwell in God '; presence. In Psalm 63:1-2, he expressed his yearning to seekGod early ad e i owr ad loy.n 6 of the same chapter, he said that he remembered God upon hig bed and meditated on Him in the night watches. Also, in today 's memory verse, he said that his soul waited for thg Lord more than those who watch for the morning Watchmen always look forward to daybreak when they would be free to rest and relax, and David likened hig intense desire for God to their longing for daybreak.

Beloved, what or whom are you seeking? In today 's Bible reading, certain Greeks went to worship at the feast in Jerusalem, and when they saw Philip, they said,"Sir, we would see Jesus."If God gives you a blank cheque today what will you ask for? Will you ask for things that will perish with time, or will you ask to see Jesus? People who seek God nly for aterial thig ill ev truly satisfid becausp they will ultimately fade away. However, those whg genuinely seek God and His Kingdom always find Him (eremiah 29:13) and become truly satisfied, as every other thing they need is added to them (Matthew 6:33).

God will always draw near to those who draw near to Him (ames 4:8); He showed this clearly in His relationship with David. Do you want God to love you in a special way? Do you want His presence with you at all times? Then your deepest desire should be to always please him (1 Thessalonians 4:1) and to continually grow in your knowledge of Him (Philippians 3:10).

Child of God, what is your deepest heart cry? What keeps you awake at night? Do you regularly think of how to amass material things for yourself or how to know God more? Whatever you are hungry and thirsty for will determine what you will get, and as Matthew 5:6 says,"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."I pray that you will truly seek God 's face and experience the beauty of His holiness, in Jesus ' name.

RCCG Hymn

I need Thee ev'ry hour

  1. I need Thee ev'ry hour
    Most gracious Lord;
    No tender voice like Thine
    Can peace afford.


    2. I need Thee, Oh, I need Thee;
    Ev'ry hour I need Thee!
    Oh, bless me now, my Saviour,
    I come to Thee!


  2. I need Thee every hour.
    Stay Thou near by;
    Temptations lose their power
    When Thou art nigh.

  3. I need Thee every hour
    In joy or pain;
    Come quickly and abide
    Or life is vain.

  4. I need Thee every hour
    Teach me Thy will;
    And Thy rich promises
    In me fulfill.

  5. I need Thee every hour,
    Most Holy one;
    Oh, make me Thine indeed,
    Thou blessed Son!
