Topic :Develop A Hunger For More Of The Spirit.

Memory Verse :
Philippians 3:10. All I want is to know Christ and to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings and become like him in his death,

Bible Reading : Philippians 3:7-9 GNB. Key Verse : v8.

But all those things that I might count as profit I now reckon as loss for Christ’s sake. Not only those things; I reckon everything as complete loss for the sake of what is so much more valuable, the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have thrown everything away; I consider it all as mere refuse, so that I may gain Christ and be completely united with him. I no longer have a righteousness of my own, the kind that is gained by obeying the Law. I now have the righteousness that is given through faith in Christ, the righteousness that comes from God and is based on faith.

One of the secrets of Apostle Paul that made him achieve much in Christ Jesus was his love for the saviour and a hunger for more of him throughout his lifetime and ministry. In the first place, he had a burning zeal to work for the God of his fathers, but lacked understanding of divine agenda. The encounter he had with Jesus Christ on his way to Damascus and subsequent conversion became the game changer in his life. His eyes was opened to the fact that he was working against God by persecuting the early church. From that point, Jesus recruited him to become a witness to the truth he had known. “The Lord Yahweh answered him, “Arise and go! I have chosen this man to be my special messenger. He will be brought before kings, before many nations, and before the Jewish people to give them the revelation of who I am. And I will show him how much he is destined to suffer because of his passion for me.”” Acts 9:15-16 TPT.

Paul was a man of deep revelations of Christ from the beginning of his call to the end of it. He was never satisfied, but was always pressing into Christ Jesus for more of him, not minding the cost. This was the secret of his rich revelational ministry. God releases things to us including in the area of knowledge of him when we are committed to engaging in activities that places a demand on his goodself for more. This hunger propels men to go an extra mile with the master which in turn makes the difference in his dealings with them. ““Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the door will be opened to those who knock. Would any of you who are fathers give your son a stone when he asks for bread? Or would you give him a snake when he asks for a fish?” Matthew 7:7-10.

In our days, majority of believers focus only on asking for material things from the Lord, they keep seeking and are very steadfast in banging on the doors of heaven only for things that have no eternal value, they just want to meet pressing needs and continue living for themselves. We seem to forget the exhortation that godliness is profitable in all things, here and after this life. For example, a business man or career person who builds a close walk with the Spirit of God will enjoy divine instructions and intelligence that will always give him an edge over his or her contemporaries in the field of operation. That was the experience of Daniel whose duties in government house never interfered with his devotion to his God in a close relationship. That was the secret of some knowledge that others couldn’t access, which set him apart. When difficult cases came up under different rulers in Babylon, he was always handy for consultations because it was known that the Spirit of God dwelth in him because of outstanding results he posted, Daniel 5:11. We should be able to better than Daniel in our days of his grace, only when we have enough hunger in our spirit.

Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus for giving me your Spirit to live by. Today I ask for more of you. From today, I want walk closer with you, take me deeper into you. Reveal yourself to me in stronger terms. Let your Spirit be my guide through the journey of life in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
