You Only Covet For What You Dont Need

Leave a Comment
Did you know that after you have received Christ you will always have everything you need?
It is hard to believe this since most of the times you think that what you have is not what you should be having.
Now have you  ever asked your self why God, who is a good father, does not give you everything you ask for immediately? We will say its because we do not have enough faith but I will disagree simply because at sometime we pray without faith and still get the things.

Now this is what happens: Human beings naturally want everything. If you were given  a billion shillings today which is more than enough to sustain you in good life for the rest of your days on earth, you will still desire to have more. I mean, as we learn from commerce, Human wants can never be satisfied. We strive to every day to satisfy them but its all in vain.
God is faithful to give you what you need and not what you want. There is no single day God will deny  you anything you need. Sometimes you may never like or even want to have what you need.
You May Never Like to Have what you need
It is amazing How we pray God to take away what he has given us simply because we font like it. No wonder we pray and pray and nothing happens: Wonderful Truth!
 Example: God knows you need to have a job where the boss is harsh so that you ca learn how to cope with harsh people in your life. You spent a year praying against him but the more you pray the more it becomes tough.
I mean am talking about what we see in reality not what  we hear. You ask God to punish them for their evil deeds yet They flourish even  more. It only remains that you comfort yourself saying:  "I know in the right time God will judge them Just give them time". Through all this period God teaches you gradually how to work with them and at long last you find yourself able to endure with any  kind of a person. It is until then when God takes you to another level.
It is human to hate some things but lets know that God will give them to us when we need them. Our Lord Felt it and prayed saying “Father if its possible let this cup pass me, Nevertheless Not My will But Your Will be Done”
We should learn to pray like Jesus when we face any situation. If we understand this concept that  "No one has authority over a child of God unless it  is granted him by the father",  then we will be sure that anything coming to us is exclusively authorized by him.
It is not made for our harm but for our Good. We can confidently say:  "God will always Give you what you need and not what you want”  Whenever a want becomes a need God supplies it even when we have not asked for. He Knows what we need and what we want.  Man knows what they want but never Know what they need. Sometimes we are right in wants. What we need  is also what we want and so when we ask for it it is granted to us. Then How can we know what we need. We can only get it from the holy Spirit. It is amazing how we take days to ask God for material things which we do not need and we hardly get them except on a situation where God wants us to learn that we never needed them or any other lesson.
Therefore now we understand that what we need is not universal. Different people have different needs but almost similar wants and this is the reason why you should never pray for something on the basis of so and so got it: I want to have it.
Conclusion
We can conclude by saying:
  • You always have what you need as long as you are a child of God
  • You only covet for the things you don’t need since God has given you what you need.
  • You can be stress free if you understand that what you are going through is known to God in a  better way than you do.
  • God will lead to understand the reason why he allowed you to face it.
  • You will become better after the storm.
  • Your Need is unique to you but wants are universal.
  • You will always want to have every good thing and never want to face rough times
