“…when desire is conceived, it gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death…” James 1:15 (NKJV)
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, many lives will be changed and transformed. The sad thing is that not many have discovered this gift; therefore, many of God’s people have ended up becoming victims of their own desires. In our opening scripture, the Bible records that when desire is conceived, it gives birth to sin and sin, when it is fully grown, brings forth death.
Now, this is in the negative, but in the positive, when a good desire is conceived, it gives birth to righteousness, and righteousness, when it is fully grown, brings forth life. Which means that 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. But 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 in the direction we want to see a miracle. If you do this, you will be amazed at how you can activate changes in different areas of your life.
