TOPIC: 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)


BIBLE READING: JOHN 12:20-21 (KJV)


20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:


21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.


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's presence. In Psalm 63:1-2, he expressed his yearning to seek God early and see His power and glory. In verse 6 of the same chapter, he said that he remembered God upon his bed and meditated on Him in the night watches. Also, in today's memory verse, he said that his soul waited for the 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 his 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 only for material things will never truly be satisfied because they will ultimately fade away. However, those who genuinely seek God and His Kingdom always find Him (Jeremiah 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 (James 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. 


REFLECTION

What is your deepest heart cry: material things or Jesus?

TOPIC: WHILE IT IS DAY


MEMORISE

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. - (John 11:9)


READ: Joshua 13:1-5 (KJV)


1 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the Lord said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.


2 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,


3 From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:


4 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:


5 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.


MESSAGE


The account of some of Joshua's great exploits can be found in Joshua 12. The chapter highlights all the kings he conquered and the lands he possessed. It was indeed a long list of victories, and any fellow who achieved the things Joshua did would be proud of such exploits. However, in the next chapter, which is today's Bible reading, God told him that even though he was now old, there remained much land to be possessed. God then went ahead to list all the lands that remained unconquered, making him know that there was still so much to do.


Beloved, there is a set time when you must do the works of Him who sent you. In John 9:4, Jesus said, "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." For every human, there is a daytime and a nighttime. The daytime is the portion of a fellow's life when he or she is young and agile. In the daytime, a fellow has the strength to go around preaching the gospel of Christ and can fast and pray as long as he or she wants to. However, by nighttime, the fellow's strength would have abated. Also, when some people's nighttime comes, they become sick and are unable to continue working. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to do God's work now, do it with all your strength and focus. Even if you are well advanced in years, the fact that you are alive means that there is still so much you can do for God, just as He showed Joshua in today's Bible reading.


There are 24 hours in a day. Approximately half of those hours are characterised by the presence of sunlight, and during those hours, most people work on their goals. After those hours of light, darkness descends.


Jesus said in John 11:10 that if a man walks in the night, he stumbles. This means that NOW is the time to serve God and carry out any assignments He might have committed into your hands. You must get to work now because when the night comes, no one, including you, will be able to work. Therefore, work while it is still day. Don't procrastinate God's work. Heal the sick, preach the gospel, cast out demons, mentor the next generation, and let your light so shine before men that they may glorify your Father in heaven. 


KEY POINT

Work while it is day. 


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR Proverbs 15 - 17


HYMN 4 - TO THE WORK! TO THE WORK! WE ARE SERVANTS OF GOD


1. To the work! To the work! We are servants of God, Let us follow the path that our Master has trod; With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew, Let us do with our might what 

our hands find to do. 


CHORUS 

Toiling on, toiling on, 

Toiling on, toiling on, 

Let us hope, let us watch, 

and labour till the Master 

comes. 


2. To the work! To the work! Let the hungry be fed, To the fountain of life let the weary be led! In the cross and its banner our glory shall be, 

While we herald the tidings, 

"Salvation is free!" 


3. To the work! To the work! There is labour for all, For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall; And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be, In the loud-swelling chorus, 

"Salvation is free!" 


4. To the work! To the work! In 

the strength of the Lord, And a robe and a crown shall our labour reward, When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be, And we shout with the ransomed, "Salvation is free!

12. Your personal prayers for elders.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR Proverbs 12 - 14


HYMN 22 - SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER! SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER!


1. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of Prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne Make all my want and wishes 

known; In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter's snare By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.


2. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! Thy wings shall my petition bear to him whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless; and since he bids me seek his face, believe his word and trust his grace I'll cast on him my every care, and wait for thee, sweet hour prayer.


3. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! May I'll from mount Pisgah's lofty height, I view my home and take my flight; this robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise to seize the ever lasting prize and shout while passing through the air, farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.

MEMORISE

He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. - (Luke 1:53)


READ: Philippians 3:5-14 (KJV)


5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;


6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.


7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.


8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,


9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:


10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;


11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.


12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.


13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,


14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.


MESSAGE


In today's Bible reading, Paul recounted some of his great achievements. He stated that he was of the stock of Israel, a descendant of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, circumcised on the eighth day, and a Pharisee. After listing his achievements and attributes, he went on to say that he counted them all as loss and dung for Christ.


Paul was clearly one of the most knowledgeable apostles in the Bible. He was a lawyer and a Pharisee who had studied under a renowned teacher, Gamaliel (Acts 22:3). For comparison, we can say that he attended the best university and studied under the most distinguished professor there. He had everything to boast of in terms of knowledge. However, when he gave his life to Jesus, he laid all his accomplishments at the Master's feet and allowed the Lord to use them for the advancement of His Kingdom. He humbled himself and submitted to Ananias, a disciple of Christ in Damascus and went on missionary trips with Barnabas, a Levite. Paul didn't allow his past achievements to stop him from pursuing the Lord wholeheartedly.


The secret to Paul's achievements in his walk with God can be found in Philippians 3:13:


Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,


Paul was always ready to learn more. He never allowed what he had learnt previously to rob him of the things that God wanted to show and teach him. This must be your disposition if you want to walk closely with God and achieve great things in His kingdom. Lamentations 3:23 says that God's mercies are new every morning. If you keep holding on to yesterday's mercies, how will you be able to receive today's portion? There is always more beyond what you have, and God can always give you more than what you have received from Him already. However, it is only as you humble yourself to receive from the Lord that you can get more from Him. One of the greatest enemies of growth is an 'arrival' mentality. The moment people think that they have 'arrived' (gotten to the peak of success), they stop growing immediately.


Beloved, ask God to help you cultivate a heart that is ever hungry for Him and that constantly seeks to achieve greater exploits in His Kingdom. He will supply you with His grace in abundance so that you will keep soaring in Him. 


PRAYER POINT

Father, please give me a deep hunger to seek You more.
