“Imagine a world without hunger!”
Matthew 5:6
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
What do you think would happen? Some people see
hunger as a bad thing but Matthew 5:6 tells us something else. The Holy spirit
explained to me that in a world without hunger, everyone would die of
malnutrition and starvation.
How? You might ask. The fact that you are not hungry
does not mean your body is not in need. Hunger comes with inconvenience, it
comes with pain sometimes. It makes one unsatisfied with what is available and
gives us the drive to go for more. Matthew 5:6 gives us a guarantee that if we
hunger and thirst after righteousness we will be filled.
So here is my question for today. Have you eaten
today? Not your body. I mean your spirit. When last did you feed your spirit.
The fact that you don’t feel hungry does not mean you are well fed. Remember
something important about hunger, It is PERPETUAL. No matter how high the
mountain of food you demolish it, you can be sure that hunger will return after
some hours.
Hunger is a blessing, it motivates. An anorexic is a person who is malnourished and yet he/she doesn’t feel hunger, he/she is dying but comfortable.
Today is an encouragement and a reminder to get
hungry.
Hungry for more of God,
Hungry to be used by him
Hungry to achieve great works
Hungry to know God more
Why do we need to be hungry?
2 Peter 1:3
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,
Because we will be filled.
2Peter 1:3 tells us that God has given us ALL we
need to have a good life and to be godly. But how do we access it, how do we
access the ALL THINGS? We access them through the knowledge of Christ, through
building a relationship with God. Like any other relationship, there are things
we need to do to build that relationship. Things we need to do if we want to
feel the hunger and get filled.
If you have ever felt unhappy with your spiritual
life, if you have ever felt pressed that you need to achieve more, if you have
sleepless nights asking God to use you for something great. YOU ARE RIGHT.
Keep at it, keep feeding the real you and God’s
assurance to you is that. You will be filled.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Fill me cup Lord. Fill me, use me, make me hungry
for you and help me not to be so eager to be comfortable that I disconnect
myself from the hunger pangs of my spirit.
Matthew 5:6
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
