The Hunger For Jesus

Happy Weekend everyone,

Yesterday, I wrote on The Logic by Faith, which was an eye-opener to what we know but which many haven’t taken our time to reason out how interesting God intends walking with Him to be. As we now understand that the logical reasoning of God is based on His principles which rests in Christ Jesus who is the power and wisdom of God (ref.: 1 Corinthians 1:24), God Himself has given us Jesus as our new life, which we receive by confessing with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead (ref.: Romans 10:9), then Jesus Christ becomes our new life.

As we now have Jesus as our life, through the Holy Spirit, we are led in line with the path of Jesus which is the path of God, which is the logic of God by faith. Now, knowing that Jesus is power and wisdom of God and now our life, it is our duty to search deeply to know Him more and more, so that we fulfill His fullness in our daily lives, in other words, we should hunger for Him like one who is starving for food. And why is this so?

2 Peter 1:2 says, “Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, ₃ as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue” What we need to understand is that Jesus is now our life, for without Him we can do nothing (ref.: John 15:5), we then need to know the life we have now obtained. Not only that, 2 Peter 1:3 says His divine we have obtained as our life has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness, in other words, there is nothing we would ever do here on earth according to the plans and purposes of God that Jesus is not the answer to in terms of anything that our life consists of, just name it. So, as the scripture advises us to meditate on the word of God, what it means is that we should look for Jesus in every single verse. He is our life and all in all. This is not just an expression, it is the reality on ground we need to understand.

We are to hunger for Jesus more than the food you, treat Him as if He is the only air to survive. But one thing we must understand is that we are not hungry for Jesus for our selfish interest, but for what God has called us to do here on earth. We are to live for Christ and not for ourselves. He said that He came to serve and not to be served, likewise, we are to serve and not to be served, and this is done when walking with God in Jesus Christ. And as Jeremiah prophesied in Jeremiah 9:23-24 that no one should glory in his wisdom or his might or riches, but those who must glory, must glory that he understands and knows God [Jesus], because of this what God delights in.

Hunger for JESUS to the glory of the NAME OF THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.

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!
