DESIRE MORE OF GOD

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Matthew 5:6

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

Additional Verses

📖 Daniel 3:1-30; Matthew 5:1-16

Matthew 5:6 says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Righteousness is the nature of God while sinfulness is the nature of Satan. Before you were born again, your nature was sin and your reward was every form of curse you can think of. However, from the day you were born again, your reward became blessings from God. For you to enjoy God’s blessings, you must always maintain your righteous nature by believing in God, studying His Word, obeying the Word of God, never compromising the Word of God and not making any excuses concerning what God says to you in His Word. In other words God’s blessings will only fall upon you when you live a life of faith in God. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were hungry and thirsty for the Word of God, and this is why when Nebuchadnezzar attempted to curse them by casting them into a fiery furnace, seven times hotter, the fire did not touch them or their garments at all. Instead, the fire burnt and killed those men who were throwing them into the fire. Just as God blessed Abraham, He would also like to bless you because you are the offspring of Abraham. Anyone who blesses you shall be blessed while those who decide to curse you will also be cursed. However, for you to enjoy these blessings of God, you must hunger and thirst for righteousness. As you become filled and flooded with God’s nature, God will also bless you in the face of all your enemies. Alleluia!

Prayer

Fill me with Your Spirit LORD Jesus Christ, so that I can become more like You with each passing day and that I may be a light that shines out to the whole world. Thank You LORD Jesus Christ. Amen.
