Day 9: Hunger for God

Theme Scripture

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.”
— Matthew 5:6 (NKJV)

Exposition

Every true revival begins with a deep, unrelenting hunger for God. Hunger is the proof of life. When your spiritual appetite fades, it’s a sign that something is wrong within. God fills only the hungry — those who long, crave, and yearn for His presence above all else.

Jesus declared, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness…” It is not enough to be curious about God; we must be desperate for Him. Spiritual hunger moves heaven. It stirs the heart to prayer, to fasting, to worship, and to obedience. It drives us to seek God not for what He gives but for who He is.

In the history of revivals, hunger has always preceded the outpouring. The early disciples were told to wait in Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high — and they waited in one accord, in prayer, in expectation. Then came Pentecost.

When your hunger for God becomes greater than your comfort, convenience, or reputation, the Spirit of revival begins to flow. Hunger breaks routine religion. It births intimacy. It attracts the supernatural.

Don’t settle for a casual relationship with God. Cry out daily, “Lord, increase my hunger for You!”

Personal Reflection

  • What are you currently most hungry for — God or the things of the world?
  • When was the last time you genuinely longed for His presence more than anything else?
  • What habits or distractions are dulling your spiritual appetite?

Prophetic Declarations

  • My heart longs for God more than for worldly pleasure or success.
  • I am a seeker of God’s presence; His glory fills my life.
  • Every trace of complacency and distraction is broken from my spirit.

Actions to Take

  1. Set aside intentional quiet time today — not to ask for things, but to seek God Himself.
  2. Fast for at least one meal this week as an act of spiritual hunger.
  3. Journal your prayers and the areas of your life where you long for more of God.
  4. Replace one daily distraction (TV, social media, etc.) with time in the Word.
  5. Lead a small group or prayer circle focused on seeking God’s presence.

Summary Thought

Revival starts where hunger lives. The more you hunger for God, the more of Him you will encounter.

Love is the Way

Love is the Way  Jesus said to him, ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Matt.22.37-40 Love is the summary of the Law and the entire scripture.  Where love abounds, laws and constitutions are useless.  Love is the fulfillment of the law.   - For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! Gal.5.14-15 Love is a command. It is the Law and the commandment of God. It is not an option but a necessity.  No one can be part of God without love, because God Himself is Love.   - This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. These things I command you, that you love o...

Manifestation of the Kingdom Within

  Manifestation of the Kingdom Within Scripture: “ Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” — Luke 17:21 Devotional The kingdom of God is more than external miracles, spectacular signs, or impressive events—it is a spiritual reality that dwells within the believer . When Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you,” He was emphasizing that kingdom life is demonstrated through the transformation of our hearts, thoughts, and daily actions. The true evidence of the kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). It manifests when we choose obedience over sin, forgiveness over bitterness, and love over pride. It is displayed in our attitudes, relationships, and every decision we make. Unlike external circumstances, the kingdom within is constant, resilient, and supernatural—it cannot be shaken by trials or opposition. Living with the kingdom within means walking in God’s authority, living in alignment with ...

He is Risen

Date: Easter Sunday – April 20, 2025 <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8669748632238163"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script> Title: He Is Risen! Scripture: “ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” – Matthew 28:6 Devotional Thought: Easter morning dawned with the impossible made real: Jesus rose from the dead. The sealed tomb was broken open—not to let Jesus out, but to let the world in to witness victory. The silence of Saturday was shattered by resurrection power. Death lost its sting. The grave lost its hold. And hope came rushing back into the hearts of all who believed. The resurrection is not just an event—it’s a reality we live in . Because He lives, we have hope in suffering, strength in weakness, and assurance in uncertainty. It’s the foundation of our faith, the fuel for our mission, and the final word over sin and death. ...
