Happy New Week everyone,
There’s no way you can jump the
fence in getting anything, there is always a process, and in getting to God,
there is a process, it isn’t by getting strange objects to appease Him, but
just a hunger to know Him, that’s all. In Matthew 5:6 Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall
be filled.” To be hungry and thirsty for righteousness is how you receive
God into your life. Allow me to elaborate.
Many of us think to get to God is
so difficult and sadly today, many church gathering (churches), do not help out
at all, they bring up the issue that one must be cleansed before they can see
God. But how can they be cleansed when they are prevented to see the One who
would wash them, any and everybody can get to know God who would get to
transform them just by being hungry and thirsty to know Him. An instance could
be a man who has been trying to get your attention, but you have been so busy
paying attention to other things order than the man. But when you need the man,
you would do everything to shut out every noise in order to hear the man,
because you really need him, the same is so with Jesus/God when you really need
Him, you would shut out every other noise and distractions just to get to know
Jesus.
Jesus told the woman at the well
that He would give her living water and whoever drinks of the water would never
thirst again as it would become in the person a fountain of water springing up
to eternal life, (ref.: John 4:10,14). In line with this, Jesus also said that
He is the bread of life, whoever eats of Him shall never hunger and He who
believes in Him shall never thirst, (ref.: John 6:35). You must hunger and
thirst for righteousness, because now we know that righteousness comes from
Jesus, but how do we get this drink and food, are we going to eat Jesus
literarily? [Just a joke]
To be filled after you are hungry
and thirsty for righteousness is by receiving the Holy Spirit. This the
Apostles received on the day of Pentecost, (ref.: Acts 2:4). The Message Bible
puts Matthew 5:6 thus, “You’re blessed
when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best
meal you’ll ever eat.” Jesus said you’re blessed when you hunger and thirst
for God. He is always there when we need Him, come just as you are for He knows
those who really hunger for Him because He knows your heart, so always hunger
and thirst for Him even when you’ve received the Holy Spirit, because you are
still growing in Him. Remember, you’re blessed when you do this and you’ll
allow what you’ve received to fill you.
May the LORD bless
you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you
and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus
today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus,
I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God
raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank
You for saving me!” Congratulations,
you’re born again, you are now brand new!
