“…when desire is conceived, it gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death…” —James 1:15 (NKJV)

Do you know that the ability to have a desire is a blessing? Well, in case you do not know, I am telling you now. When God created us, He deposited in us some hidden qualities, which He proposed to help us excel in this world, and one of those qualities is the ability to desire a thing. This is a major gift that God has given to mankind and if it is properly used or channeled, many lives will be changed and never remain the same. The sad thing is that not many of God’s people have discovered this gift, therefore too many of God’s people have ended up becoming victims of their own desire. 

In our opening scripture, the Bible recorded that when desire is conceived, it gives birth to sin and sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death. Now this is in the Negative, but in the positive, when desire is conceived, it gives birth to righteousness, and righteousness when it is full grown, brings forth life. Which means, if you are able to stir up your desire in the right way, for the right things it will certainly produce the right results for you and if your desire is for the wrong things, it will also produce the wrong things. So, to achieve certain things in life, we must be smart enough to begin to nurture a strong desire for it and mean it with all your heart. 

Today’s Rhema 

If you can stir up a desire for the right things, you will surely achieve those things!

Confession for the Day 

Glorious and ever living Father, I thank you for giving me the ability to desire a thing. I choose this day to stir up my desire in the right direction and as I do, I achieve things supernaturally in the name of Jesus. Amen!
