Hello everyone, we started looking at HOW TO FLOW IN THE SUPERNATURALS yesterday and I talked about HUNGER. A person asked me on Facebook, HOW CAN YOU BE HUNGRY FOR GOD IN A DRY AND COLD PLACE? Today's episode will be directed at answering this question.
HOW TO BE HUNGRY FOR GOD?
We have settled the fact that you can't receive anything from God without a strong desire for it. Your action/s is/are propelled by your hunger. That's why I started from the inner motivation for the external action. You can be hungry for God in the following ways:
1. Your Growing up experiences:
This encapsulate your family background, childhood experiences, environments, etc. Someone like me, I grow up to know that both the God realm of Supernaturals and the Devil's exist. The kind of Church I grew up in, environment made to know that the Supernatural realm is very real. I have seen demons and angels before. I have seen witches confess before. I have seen believers and pastors die as a result of demonic activities. So, I can't grow up to have a passive mindset in that line. I have learnt by multiple experiences that you don't stand a chance of survival except the Lord is very tangible in your boat. So, there is a way your background can stir up your hunger for God if it is properly harnessed.
B. YOUR ASSOCIATION:
Prv 13:20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
There is a way your company affect your hunger. If you move with people that places little premium on the Supernaturals, you will be seriously affected. There is a company of Faith and Doubt. The Bible talks about a company of Prophets, the Bible talks about Peter and John returning to their company. Which company do you have/keep? I'm not just talking about having pastors as friends. There are many pastors that engage in very ungodly and mundane discussions in their company. Many pastors keep abreast with things from the WOODS-Nolly, Holy, Bolly,etc. Friendship is deliberate thing. My company consist of people that are pressing into more of God. You need those that will always inspire and challenge you. A friend dragged some years ago to go to a church and pray for 12hours in tongues. I haven't prayed that long before. Though, I slept off in the course of it but, we were there for more than 13hours. Our Cross Over Night in CYA this year was 10HOURS in tongues. This is ridiculously small compared to some others. But, many companies have never even met to pray before. You need to company with those that will challenge you to Godliness. A pastor talked about the Prayer Meeting he has with his friends once a year-3 DAYS STRETCH IN TONGUES. No food, no sleeping, just water alone. He said you are not permitted to sit down for more than three times throughout the entire prayer session. Chai! What do you in your own company? Association can really help you stir up hunger for more of God.
C. READING, LISTENING AND WATCHING RELATED VIDEOS:
I have found these exercises to be of tremendous help personally. You can't watch a video where a fat person suddenly lose weight supernaturally and nothing will happen to your hunger for God or you hear someone talking about what God did through him/her and you won't be challenged. I listen to a wide range of preachers depending on the area of their specialization. You are in a limbo if all you do is listen to one preacher and that one doesn't believe in the supernaturals. You can download videos of credible men of God from YouTube and watch. Read relevant books and listen to messages. Your financial resources must go into it. I was able to pray on Water to turn to Kerosene because I have heard someone said he used water to cook throughout the period of Kerosene scarcity. What are you hearing? I bade medicine goodbye when I heard a pastor said he had not had headache in 50years. I am in my fourteenth years of no medicine now. What heareth thou?
D. BY THE CONFESSIONS OF YOUR MOUTH:
Mk. 11:23 makes it clear that you shall have whatsoever you say. So, your hunger can increase by the confession of your mouth. I learnt this principle many years ago from the writer of God's Generals. Repeatedly declare to God that you are hungry for Him. Even if you don't it, don't bother yourself. Just keep confessing. Your mouth can be used to school your spirit. Your mouth is a farm implement in the spiritual farm of your life. A time will come that you believe what you are saying and hunger will get a hold of you. There is a confession unto faith and there is a confession because you believe. Stay put on your confession about your hunger. You shall have whatsoever you say.
E. Study God's Word in this line:
Many claim to be studying God's Word but, they are reading irrelevant parts of the Word to their needs. Many truths are shared in God's word. Go for the part that addresses the supernaturals; read, study and confess them. A time will come you will empowered to practice them. Let me stop here today and continue tomorrow.
