Our TOPIC: HUNGER – A PATHWAY TO ACCESSING THE WORD

Today's SCRIPTURE: Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.Matthew chapter 5 verse 6. Hallelujah!

Our THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You access the treasures of God’s Word by the demonstration of spiritual hunger.

The Word of God is a minefield of treasures. In God’s Word is hidden all treasures of wisdom and knowledge. In the Word of God, we find healing, deliverance, peace, supernatural supplies, victory, etc.
However, the Word of God is veiled or concealed.

Now, what do we do to access the concealed Word of God? What do we do to unveil the content of the book?

The maintenance of spiritual hunger is one way to access the treasures of the Word of God.
Psalm 81 verse 10 says, "I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it."
Opening your mouth implies demonstrating hunger for the Word. It confirms that you are desperate for the Word, and when you are desperate, God will fill you.

Hosea chapter 6 verse 3 says, "Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth."

You see, it is those who follow on to know that will know. It is those who press on to know that will truly know. Insight belongs to those who are interested. Until you are interested, you can’t be insightful. Knowledge follows hunger. The knowledge of God or of His Word is a response to spiritual hunger. It is a product of spiritual hunger.

Matthew chapter 5 to 6 says, "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."
Filling belongs to the hungry. Children who demonstrate hunger are fed. Those who don’t demonstrate hunger may be forced to be fed, but in the spiritual realm, no one will force you to feed.

So, you access the treasures of God’s Word by the demonstration of spiritual hunger. Make up your mind to maintain spiritual hunger so you can access the treasures of the Word.

Remember this: You access the treasures of God’s Word by the demonstration of spiritual hunger.

Take this ASSIGNMENT with you:
#1. Ask God for baptism of fresh hunger to access the Word.
#2. Refuse to be familiar with the Word. Yes sir!

Our PRAYER today: Father, I ask that You deepen my hunger for both You and Your Word. I receive the grace and discipline to sit with the Word, Lord, in Jesus Name. Amen!

Today's Bible DAILY READING: from the book of 1st Timothy chapter 2 to 4.

We start with 1st Timothy chapter 2, I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. Hallelujah!

1st Timothy chapter 3, This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Hallelujah!

1st Timothy chapter 4, Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. Hallelujah!

AMAZING FACT: Lions use scent marking to define their territory, rubbing their faces on rocks and trees.

Today's PROPHETIC WORD (and DECLARATION):
