DEEP HUNGER FOR GOD

Written by Julie Inu Umoro 

Psalms 42:1-2

[1] (To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.) As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

[2] My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

It is another glorious day of the Lord. Thank You Lord for including my name on the list of the living today. To You alone Oh Lord, be all the glory, honour, and adoration.

The Psalmist here in today's Scriptural reference tells us how we can seek God.

First and foremost, what is a Hart?

A Hart is the male gender of the Red Deer.

Why does a Hart pant after water?

The Hart pants after the waterbrooks when it remembers the coolness and freshness of the streams from which it has drunk before. The desperate desire to experience it again drives it there and drinks from it again.

Here in today's passage, the Psalmist compares his intense longing for God to a Harts thirst for water. To pant here means to be desperately in need of, deep desire to fill a void or emptiness.

This passage encourages you and I, to actively and desperately seek God.

This we must do through prayers. Prayer is conversation with God. As an individual I am always very very eager to pray especially when there are challenges. I love showing and telling my problems how great my God is.  

This I do when I take my enemies, problems, and challenges to God and leave them there. I report my challenges to God. My God loves to prove Himself.

We can also seek God in intense worship. In intense worship, ears, eyes, and the mouth may be so anointed that there may be revelations.

Deep secrets may be revealed, God may begin to speak in revelations, trances and visions. Deep secrets belong to God and He may decide to reveal them.

Thirdly, you must study your Bible to seek after God. Read your Bible daily, meditate on what you read, memorise Scriptures, because you never know when you may need them. Our weapons of warfare and survival are all in the Bible. Read it often.

Beloved, there must be a deep hunger and an urge to seek after God. There must be a desire for an intimacy with God. If as a child of God, you dont have a desire to seek God, then you are full of yourself and so you are on your own. What this means is that you have no room for the Lord,in you.

A genuinely born again child of God is always seeking for ways to please God because He created us for His own pleasure.

Are you born again? 

Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb?.

Are you sincerely repented of your sins?

Do so now if you are yet to meet these conditions that will enlist you as a child of God.

God alone is my Source of health love, peace, joy, and strength.

MEMORY VERSE

Jeremiah 29:13

[13] And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

PRAYERS

Heavenly Father, please in Your mercy and faithfulness, anoint me afresh with Your oil for zeal to seek You like a Hart in Jesus name.
