LUST AFTER GOD

LUST AFTER GOD
Ye lust and have not. James 4: 1
Everyman is after something or something is after you. Sincerely no man is idle in the real sense of it. Examine it carefully, even the senseless is busy practising foolishness. Human are individualistic as their desires. Desires birth passion and passion can give birth to possession and achievement. Everyone lust after something!
Sometimes Men do not carefully monitor and evaluate their desires, they leave the fulfillment of their desires  to time and chance.
James 4:1 . It says YE LUST. JFB commentary in Pocket  Bible Online Version writes that ye lust means ye desire iterally ye set your mind ( or heart) on an object I used to think to lust is more negative than positive. When u lust after a guy, it connotes that I want his body, I desire him sexually, as when a married man lust after a woman who is not his wifei. In this passage, the bible says ye lust and have not, ye lust for things but have not.
But  as I read, I realised, just as i can lust after after things, I can as well lust after God  John 6: 33 comes to mind, seek first the kingdom of God, it means I should set my mind, heart, desires on God. God must be passionately pursued. I am not writing about going to church, been a worker,No, that is cool and the right thing to do. Am talking about been consumed with love for God and meditating on how to please Him.
Evaluate your thoughts today. Consciously take stock of what you think of today, meditate on what you think of more today. How many times, did your think about God, His agenda, His purposes His agenda for the world;, the workings of His angels and kingdom business.  I know Apostle John said God wants you to prosper  and be in good health even as your soul prospers but Jesus said" I must do the work of him who sent me and finish it.  Joseph was a prime minister In Egypt, through his office in the Potiphar house, the prison, and ultimately the King's palace, he showed men who the living God is and his manifold wisdom. Daniel was an administrator among men who do not believe in his God who is the Most High God, he showed these unbelievers who is the true God, so much that king Darius told his subjects to worship the God that Daniel worship.
God has a plan, purpose, agenda for you today, but you can only access successfully, if YE LUST AFTER GOD

A spiritual man is not someone who talks and act like a Christian, rather it is that believer who is under the influence and control of the Holy Ghost, who listens to His voice and obeys it promptly.

Christ In Your Heart

HOW TO ATTAIN AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP  WITH GOD AND MAN Christ is called the Anointed One, which symbolisies that He was a man under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8 reveals that the Holy Spirit can lead a man which is the Holy Spirit guiding and directing the activities, decisions and thoughts of the Man through the written and spoken Word. But when the Holy Spirit is leading a man, the man has the absolute ability to say No to the leading of the Holy Spirit and follow his own inclinations. But there is a higher dimension of  relationship with the Holy Spirit which is state of absolute surrender that is exemplified by the life of The LORD of Host Himself: Jesus Christ, The LORD and Saviour of the Earth..
