```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE (DDMM)```
♦ *TOPIC: DESIRE INTIMACY - HIS GIFTS OR HIS PLACE Part 1*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*
Psalms 42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
It has been proven over time that what has taken the place of God in the heart and lives of God's people are not demons in themselves but the gifts or blessings of God.
Many of us do not know the kind of hunger for God that the writers of the Bible experienced. David writes in Psalm 42 “My soul pants for you”. Now, whenever we are physically hungry, we know that our senses immediately begin to revolve around our physical need while other things are forgotten or suspended at the moment.
Spiritual desire operates the same way. When our first love is restored everything else will seem less important. Our perspectives and priorities will change. This kind of focus may seem rare, but it’s God’s plan for all of us. He wants first place in our lives and nothing less.
Many of our desires are not wrong. They are simply the way we express human vitality.
God delights to meet our needs and he also delights to bless us extravagantly. But problems arise when we let his gifts take all our attention or simply say "we will have problems when we allow His gifts to take His place in our hearts. This can happen over time, and can often be deceptive seeing that it happens gradually and not suddenly.
We must strike a balance and thus maintain a buoyant relationship with Him at all times irrespective of His gifts that we possess.
Our human desires needs to give way to the most important thing, which is to know God.
Being with Him, seeking His holiness and glory becomes the primary goal in your life when you are truly desirous of Him. And when you truly desire Him like David, you will discover that nothing else really matters and nothing else should stand in the way or take His place not even His gifts.
*Counsel For Today: Check your life and access yourself to see if His gifts has take His place in you. If that has happen, you must immediately repent before it's too late.*
*_Prayer Point: Father, I thank you for your word that you've sent into me today, I ask that you will deliver me from every wrong affection and I ask for Mercy for ever placing any other thing above you knowingly or unknowingly in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*
DAILY BIBLE READING PLAN: Psalm 107 and Rom 16
