DESIRE IS NOT ENOUGH

Desire is not enough.

Desire is not enough.

Desire is not enough.

If there be anyone with the desire to know Who God Is and to have true intimacy with Him, that would be me.

I have been this way for as long as I can remember.

Why am I still in this desire stage? Because desire does not always bring results.

You have got to press in. What do I mean by pressing in? It means 'show up'. 

I realise that unlike the woman in Songs of Solomon who went out and searched and searched until she found the one in whom her soul loved, I for one did not do that.

I showed up by searching...a while...and then I went back to sleep.

This makes me wonder..."Was I hungry enough for God?" I don't think so.

Whoever I am today has been informed by my past and so it makes me wonder whether if there is something about my growing-up that has caused me to have a very relaxed attitude to 'pressing in'.

I am thinking that there should be a corresponding action to every desire.

I mean, desire is fuel but like fuel, it won't burn until you move the car!

So why do I say that desire is not enough?

It will not be enough so long as you keep sitting down doing nothing.

How do I see myself?

Is the life I am currently living commensurate with who and how I see myself?

I was hit with a very simple reality earlier this week: Not everyone who wants to live the 'good life' actually live it. 

This means that in every desire, you have a role to play in it.

I see that for most years of my life, I have been so concerned with doing the will of the Father that I have done so little with my life. 

So now, after pondering over this 'desire' subject for a long while this last quarter of 2017, here is my resolve:

I will pursue a life that is commensurate to who I see myself to be.

I will run hard in fulfilling my destiny and in pursuing every little light of passion Daddy places on my heart to run His cause.

I will be mindful in all these that Daddy has the final say.

I will run knowing fully well that Daddy's plans are far better and far outweigh any great plan I may have for my life.

I will run knowing that without Holy Spirit, I have no power, no ability and no speed to run this race.

I will run knowing fully well that Jesus Christ Is the reason why I have become who I am today.

I will run knowing that Jesus Christ Is the Rock on which this Empire is being built on.

I will run knowing that I am a child of the Kingdom of Heaven and like every child, I have Heaven backing me. I have legions and legions of Angels at my disposal waiting to do my every bidding.

Finally, I will run because I know that IT IS ONLY IN RUNNING THAT I WILL BECOME LIKE JESUS CHRIST.
