Just another sermon-like blog

If the title turns you off...You might as well not continue reading from here and you know what?I very much encourage you not to read anymore of my blogs cos they'll be like the very one Im to write about.

Have you ever felt if you are going the motion everyday? and yes,even to church...
AH! Im sure we've had many a time heard the pastor preaching about going through the very mere motions and exsistence of our very lives,we've stepped up for altar expecting a radical change to our lives in a instant which we blatantly say "it does not come as an overnight thing" which is of course itz true but we just dont get the change we want cos our hunger for God was satisfied at that very moment at the altar but as soon as we walk away from the altar, we have to build our very own altars before the Lord and just remain hungry for His awesome presence and acknowledge our ABSOLUTE need of HIM. If not, what then is feeding us? why don't we feel that hunger we feel only when we are in church? Because we allow the things not of God to feed us and we thought we are full...We are being fed with emptiness that creates a counterfeit fullness,but far from the truth, it creates only a vacuum only to be fed the very next day with the very same what I would call 'crap' of which I too am being filled with if I allow myself to be fed anything but the 'Bread Of Life'.

35Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. 36But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

41At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven." 42They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?"

43"Stop grumbling among yourselves," Jesus answered. 44"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. 45It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. 46No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. 47I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. 48I am the bread of life. 49Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died. 50But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

52Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

53Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. 57Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever." 59He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
(John 6:35-59)

We need to be fed on Him and He shall satisfy our every need cos He is all that we need. I understand people really likes to believe that but the subtlity of the secular intrusiveness into our lives creating a fear of uncertainty which tells us God as our SOLE & ABSOLUTE need is absurbity.

44"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him....
We can by no means come to God except through the calling of His son, Jesus Christ.
He has already called us unto Himself through His outstretched arms on the cross and embraced us with His love so great tho intolerable of sin, became sin for us and resurrected in power conquering it.So when we confess of our sins, and ask for His forgiveness, He takes the very sin and nails to the cross on calvary,back to very moment Hez was on the cross of which it is no more when He rose from dead in power and by that is Justification,and sanctification as itz continuing work for our ever sinful nature,His Faithfulness will embrace us in acceptence and the Helper,the Holy Spirit will guide us into all righteousness.

16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

With all that love shed upon us by His blood,covering us with His righteousness...
Do we still want to satisfy ourselves with sinful gratifications? at times I feel Im writing all these about myself but the Holy Spirit teaches me with such patience that I feel compelled by His mercy to help people who are bounded by self-guilt.
Now He that Hungers and thirsts after God and His righteousness found only in Christ shall be filled. and by that We now come also to the understanding that God is my righteousness.lemme reiterate a lil here : He that became sin for us now has become our righteousness. Let us Hunger for His touch everyday cos WE NEED HIS PRESENCE! and let Him feed us and satisfy us with His love which is the only thing we ever need where nothing else matters more than to dwell and listen to His gentle voice.
We cannot draw ourselves to Him cause we can't come to Him by our own efforts no matter how hard we try. All we need is yield ourselves helplessly and cease striving,acknowledge that I cannot live a righteous life on my own and I cant please God.Itz only when hunger, and thrist in desperation my need of Him.
witholding self-sufficiency is pride and God opposes the proud but gives grace to the Humble. We can do nothing apart from Him so He is telling us to place our entire dependency on Him. I believe that when Jesus said greater things shall you do in my name is possible why? It is done in JESUS name and all glory belongs to Him. He is our all in all...take up His yoke for itz light and give to Him your heavy laden, He will give you rest and strengthen you as we wait on Him.His Holy spirit is all powerful and He is more real than the air we breathe, more real than our very exsistence if we ever tried thought within ourselves segregating reality and God our only hope and dependence.


21 When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,

22 I was senseless and ignorant;
I was a brute beast before you.

23 Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.

24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.

27 Those who are far from you will perish;
you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.

28 But as for me, it is good to be near God.
I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge;
I will tell of all your deeds.

(Psalms 73:21-28)
