If you aren't thirsty, I don't know think there is a need to drink water. But when you see a need to drink water regularly, you get thirsty. You can't want anything until you see the need for it.
When food and water is scarce, we will develop deficiencies. In a situation where there's famine and drought and someone offers to give food and water for free. Won't people rush towards the person, no matter how far he/she is?
But we are in a time and era where people who need water and food aren't thirty and hungry. The Lord offers us everything our spirit man needs to grow, but surprisingly we reject Him.
How would you feel, if you gave someone something from your heart and he/she rejects it? (If you aren't selfish or having a bias mind in the first place), you will feel bad. Even the Lord does. He gave a call and we think it wasn't for us.
In Isaiah 55:1 He said "let everyone that is thirsty, come he to the waters, and he hath no money, come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price". Oh, that's deep.
As Christian we should know that water, wine, milk and bread are the foundation for GRACE and they have great significance. These things that make up grace made everyone that believe in Christ Jesus equal (Galatians 3:28). We are called to obtain grace, but only few understands. Some are ignorant which cause them to struggles in grace ( they don't know what they have received). Some never believed what they know and their unbelief has blocked their spiritual senses. They don't perceive or know anything, and this cause them to think they ain't thirsty and hungry. Only those that are thirsty and hungry can be filled with the holy spirit (Matthew 5:6).
To those that have their senses, don't get tired of been thirsty and to those that not active, ask the holy spirit to revive your spiritual senses and when you thirst, go drink from to the living water (John 7:37), when you are hungry, eat the bread of Life. All this can be activated through fasting and prayer. Fasting makes you more sensitive and prayer is the act of asking for what you perceive and want. I pray that we will never be weary in Jesus name. But we must also wait ( trust) upon the Lord and He will renew our strength in Jesus name. Amen.
Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...
