NOT SATISFIED

-

1Chronicles 4:9&10

Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, "Because I bore him in pain."
 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, "Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" So God granted him what he requested.


Have you ever felt that "You are more than this". That feeling that you are better than what you have been, that there is more to you than what you have experienced.


Yes, this is true.


Our vision eye opens, we see that where we are now is not where we ought to be. It is like an awakening, as if from a deep sleep.


We ask ourselves: "Why am I still held up here?"


The first thing to do is to take stock and when we do, we will find ourselves wanting.


The pertinent questions to ask are:


* Am I being ungrateful?
* Am I comparing myself to others?
* Am I genuinely behind, have I tarried too long at that spot?
* Do I have a vision of where I am headed?
* Am I being stirred by the Spirit?


Ecclesiastes 5:10
He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.


Jeremiah 31:14
I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness," says the LORD.


2Corinthians 10:12
For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.


So what do we do?


WE PRAY!


To ascertain that we are indeed ripe for the next level. Then like Jabez we request our upliftment.


Psalm 75:6-7
For not from the east nor from the west nor from the south come promotion and lifting up.
But God is the Judge! He puts down one and lifts up another.


That feeling of "not satisfied", can play out for good.


It is God's desire that we be satisfied.


Psalm 145
You open Your hand and satisfy every living thing with favor.


I see a new awakening, I see a dissatisfaction that awaken us from our sleep to arise and do exploits.


* our families will be better
* our career would soar higher
* our business would boom
* our ministry would fulfil its purpose
* we would know God more
* we would be relevant
* our eternal bank increasing.


Yes by the power of Our Living God.


Do we have a part to play in this, yes surely so!


Proverbs 16:9
We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.


So, let us arise and do the needful.


Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER
Loving Father thank You for all You have and are doing for me. Help me get better day after day and season after season. I prosper in You Lord. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love
@the watcher.

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J...

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta...

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same...
