APPETITE GONE?... HOW? (Neh. 8:1-12, I Pet 2:2, Prov.8:17)

Hello, this morning I serve you with this:
A creamy hot beverage with a freshly baked bread, cut open and massaged with some fried egg whiles garnished with some neatly sliced vegetables. 

And all I could hear was Appetite Gone?...Gone where...How?

Okay, what about this:
A succulently boiled yam or plantain(Bor)de3 asonson) with Palava Sauce(Kontomire&Agushi) with fish and eggs placed on the side.

Don't tell me you lost your appetite again...So all these to waste away. How?

This morning I ask 'DO WE LOSE OUR APPETITE FOR THE THINGS OF GOD OR FOR GOD HIMSELF?

Well, the simple answer is YES. Medically losing appetites is something normal though can be reduced drastically( Read here for more info-www.healthline.com/symptom/loss-of-appetite )

In the same way, this  happens in our relationship with God.

We all get fed up or get too used to Church, God's work and even himself.  At times we wish we could hide somewhere or experience something new.(A new adventure maybe)

That's where the problem arises.(Well, I also experience that from time to time. )

However, just as God has put in us that human incline to know that we can't survive without the basic necessities of food&water; so does he do same for the Christian.

This is because you have his Spirit in you as a Christian which means as a new creature your sinful nature has been uprooted. I know... Physically, not much has changed (You're just as you are)

It's why you need to then renew& transform your mind with his Word. Simply, that's how it works.No shortcuts!

However, as human as we are such longings and the lack of appetite for the spiritual things would come. Yes, they will but because of his SPIRIT IN US&THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM;he always BRINGS US BACK NO MATTER where or how far we go.

Remember,as the carnal man crave after what is fleshly/carnal, the spiritual man longs for what is spiritual (Galatians 5:16- &Romans 8).The latter is what our God brings us to as we grow and mature in him.
I put it this way, Our God then brings us into FULL APPETITE with things of him as we fully avail ourselves for his use

SO?...

Would you still stay there and allow your appetite to wane further after all these reminders???

Connect in fact reconnect with your maker. He has been telling you. He has been speaking to you.  He's telling you right now through this message. 

NOW TAKE NOTE OF THESE FOUNDATIONAL POINTERS:

*Always see God as that basic necessity that you can't do away with. ( TRULY APPRECIATE HIM&LIVE HIM OUT AS YOU PROFESS HIM TO BE)
 

*Be watchful of the things that steal you from God.

*Seek to be in his presence at all times&COMMIT yourself to do something in his vineyard.

*Watch those little harmless habits that can lead you to sin. 

*Generally, don't take things for granted or normalize the things of God.

*Above all, ALWAYS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THAT INTIMACY WITH HIM. 

I guess this is what we need to whet up for GOOD our APPETITE for God. SHOOT!

SO I SAY:
WOW...APPETITE  BACK FOR GOOD?...HOW?
