“…when desire is conceived, it gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death…” —James 1:15 (NKJV)The question is, how strong is your desire for that dream of yours?
Having established the power and the blessings of being able to desire a thing, the question we will be looking at is how strong is your desire for the changes you want to see in your life? Beloved, you must understand that, If your desire is strong enough, it will always give birth to what you desire, but you must be smart to desire and desire the right things. You might say but sir, how do I nurture a desire? Well, your desire first of all should be in line with God’s word to produce for you a blessing. The Bible says in Proverbs 19:2 (AMP) “…desire without knowledge is not good…” so you must equip yourself with the knowledge of God’s word to make your desire be in line with God’s word.
If your desire is not in line with God’s word, it will still produce for you but it will produce the wrong things because desire is the breeding ground for new things. It has attractive abilities and it is a production unit that either blesses you or puts you in trouble. So, make a conscious decision to stir up the right desires within you. List out the things you so desire, fix a time limit for it, search the scriptures to pull out supporting text and then begin to use these texts to fuel your desire by praying and meditating on them. If you continue with this long enough you will be amazed at the results you will get in no time. So, begin today to nurture a strong desire and believe God for its accomplishment, for it is written “…the desire of the righteous will be granted…” Proverbs 10:24 (NKJV). God bless you!
