July 6, 2019 UCB Word For Today Devotional : Topic - Understanding your desires (1)

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Understanding your desires (1)

06 JULY 2019
‘He shall give you the desires of your heart.’
Your capacity to desire certain things is a gift from God; it’s a powerful motivator. Picture two kids taking swimming lessons. One does it because he watched the Olympic Games and wants to win a gold medal when he grows up. 

The other takes lessons because his dad said he had to. Which kid do you think is likely to make it to the Olympics? In Genesis we read: ‘Jacob served seven [more] years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her’ (Genesis 29:20 NIV 2011 Edition). 
What kind of person would see seven years’ hard work as a mere few days? Someone working towards his or her dream! Jesus told the story of a man with a ‘got-to-have-it’ desire. When he discovered treasure buried in a field, he ‘went and sold all he had and bought that field’ (Matthew 13:44 NIV 2011 Edition). Similarly, the people who listened to Jesus were so drawn to His peace, courage, and wisdom that they thought, ‘I must have what He has.’ Do our desires sometimes lead us astray? For sure! In order to be able to trust them, you must do two things: 
1) Desire a relationship with God above all else. ‘Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.’
 2) Make sure your desires are in harmony with His will. ‘I delight to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart’ (Psalm 40:8 NKJV). When you centre your life around God and His Word, you can trust ‘the desires of your heart’. And God will give them to you!
