Desiring More in Life


Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!

Isaiah 30:18

The disciples prayed and they waited in the days after Jesus departed. There was no other alternative for them-no way could they go back to life the way it had been before Christ.

Their prayers and their waiting reaped for them a marvelous reward in the person of the Holy Spirit.

Their lives had been changed by walking with Jesus and hearing His teachings, but now they were also changed by the infilling of the Spirit who was poured out on that Pentecost morning.

Do you hunger and thirst for more in your life? The Holy Spirit wants to anoint you with His power.

He longs to give you victory over the trials and circumstances in your life that beset you. Above all, He longs to have intimate fellowship with you.

So today, in this season of Pentecost, open up your heart and ask the Holy Spirit to inundate you with His presence. Fellowship with Him. Allow Him to guide you in all you do. Commune with Him daily-He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Thy friends are numerous

Both youths and elders come to sing

Always long to see thee

2-Timothy_2-15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

When the Paschal evening fell: HYMN 689


1: When the Paschal evening fell

Deep on Kedron’s hallowed dell,

When around the festal board

Sate th’ Apostles with their Lord,

Then His parting word He said,

Bless’d the cup and brake the bread

“This when’er ye do and see,

Evermore remember me.”

2: Years have passed: in every clime,

Changing with the changing time,

Varying through a thousand forms,

Tom by factions, rocked by storms,

Still the sacred table spread,

Flowing cup and broken bread,

With that parting word agree,

“Drink and eat; remember Me.”

3: When by treason, doubt, unrest,

Sinks the soul dismayed, opprest;

When the shadows of the tomb

Close us round with deepening gloom

Then bethink us at that board

Of the sorrowing suffering Lord,

Who when tried and grieved as we

Dying said, “Remember me.”

4: When in this thanksgiving feast

We would give to God our best,

From the treasures of His might

Seeking life and love and light;

Then, O Friend of human kind,

Make us true and firm of mind,

Pure of heart, in spirit free;

Thus may we remember Thee.

Thank You Jesus,

Genesis_1-31: And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day

Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face: Hymn 690


1: Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face;

Here would I touch and handle things unseen;

Here grasp with firmer hand th’etemal grace,

And all my weariness upon Thee lean.

2: Here would I feed upon the Bread of God;

Here drink with Thee the royal Wine of heaven;

Here would I lay aside each earthly load,

Here taste afresh, the calm of sin forgiven.

3: This is the hour of banquet and of song,

This is the heavenly table spread for me;

Here let me feast, and, feasting, still prolong

The brief, bright hour of fellowship with Thee.

4: Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear;

The feast, though not the love, is past and gone,

The bread and wine remove; but Thou art here,

Nearer than ever; still my Shield and Sun.

5: Mine is the sin, but Thine the righteousness;

Mine is the guilt, but Thine the cleansing blood;

Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace

Thy blood thy righteousness O Lord my God.

6: Feast after feast thus comes, and passes by;

Yet, passing, points to the glad Feast above,

Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,

The Lamb’s great Bridal Feast of bliss and love.

Romans_12-2: And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God

Time of prayer isn’t just a time to ask God for things; it’s a time to commune or fellowship with Him


Matthew_21-22: And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Matthew_21-22: And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

The time of prayer isn’t just a time to ask God for things; it’s a time to commune or fellowship with Him

Luke_18-27: And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God

Luke_18-27: And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Luke 18:1

Communication is probably one of the most important activities in life. There are different kinds of communication. We shall however, discuss the communication between man and GOD, which is established through prayer. In Luke 18, the LORD Jesus taught on the importance of prayer. Man is a spirit and his needs are essentially spiritual. This is why he always craves for that spiritual contact with God, who is described in Hebrews 12:9 as “The Father of spirit.”

Matthew_26-41-1: Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak

Matthew_26-41-1: Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak

What a blessing to know that you can communicate directly with your heavenly Father; that you can have His hundred percent attention through prayer: “For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” (1 Peter 3:12). This is one reason you ought to always be excited to pray. Some people only pray when they need something. That’s wrong! The time of prayer isn’t just a time to ask God for things; it’s a time to commune or fellowship with Him. That’s the time to hear what He has to say and receive direction for each day’s activities and challenges.

1-Thessalonians_5-17: Pray without ceasing

1-Thessalonians_5-17: Pray without ceasing

The Bible says concerning Jesus that, “ …in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed ” (Mark 1:35). Jesus took prayer seriously while He was on earth, because He understood the importance of communing with the Father. On another occasion, it was recorded that He prayed all night (Luke 6:1). Though He was (and is) the Son of God, He didn’t take prayer for granted. He understood prayer as an effective communication with the Father.

2-Chronicles_7-14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land

2-Chronicles_7-14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land

The moment you understand and embrace this truth, your life will become richer and you’ll be more productive in all your endeavours. You need that continual fellowship with God to function effectively, otherwise, everything you do will be meaningless, and will have no spiritual impact. Do you see why you should take your prayer life more seriously? Learn to rise up early to commune with the LORD, and do this as often as you should.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the privilege of prayer. I’m blessed and humbled to know that Your watchful and loving eyes are over me, and Your ears are open to hear and answer my prayers. Therefore, I thank You, for my day is blessed, and I receive from You the wisdom and grace to deal excellently in all my affairs today, in the Name of Jesus! Amen!

Communication Deepens Our Fellowship With God


Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglica...

Image via Wikipedia

Every relationship without communication suffers; be it relationship with your children, your spouse, your co-workers, or with God. Communication – good and frequent communication – helps or enhances relationships. If you have a relationship with someone you don’t talk with, that relationship will suffer setbacks. No matter how proximate you may be to the person, without continually exchanging thoughts by talking to each other, your relationship won’t grow.

This is the reason we’re to constantly fellowship with the Lord through prayer. 2 Corinthians 13:14 says “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.” This is an indication of the kind of relationship we’re to cultivate with the Holy Spirit; a communion; a sharing together. The Father and the Son are in heaven, but the Holy Spirit is here with us. Hence, He’s the God we know and relate with in the earth today, and He lives in us, fostering this extraordinary communion with divinity.

There’s no other way to develop an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit, aside from communing with Him constantly in prayer, and through meditation on the Word. Consciously create time to talk to and with the Lord the same way you’ll perhaps schedule to talk to a friend, colleague or loved one.

Remember, the Holy Spirit is a person with emotions, will and intellect; therefore relate to Him as such. The highest means of communication with Him is by speaking in tongues; and as you do, He’ll make the presence of God real to you and the miraculous your constant experience.

PRAYER

Dear Holy Spirit, thank You for Your abiding presence that brings glory and beauty to my life. I’m constantly energized from within because You strengthen me with might in my inner man, even as I fellowship with You today. Thank You for Your glorious ministry in my life, in Jesus Christ’s Name, Amen!
