The Greatest Need

   There is a vacant place in the heart of every man that will be empty until it be filled with love and obedience to God.

The experience of the years has shown that every man really wants to be close to God. He may not confess it to anyone, he may not even acknowledge it openly to himself, but underneath there is the need and there is a half-drowned desire to be saved-a desire that won't quite die.

Men may try to drown their innermost longing by a show of independence, redoubled activity, a constant round of pleasure, but to no avail. Their needy hearts still cry out for God.

You are no exception. You have considered being saved, you have considered obeying God and his commandments of love. Perhaps you have laughed at the idea, put it from your mind-but never completely out of your mind. Like a haunting melody that must be heard the pull to be saved persist, ever wooing you to God. The need and desire is as ever present as the desire to breathe, to eat, to live. What you need is God...This is the world's greatest need today...The need of God..!!!

In Philippians 4 it says "God will supply all our needs" and yet everywhere and almost everybody has a need, whether its physical, material or spiritual. Is there any problem in divine distribution? I don't think so.. The problem is not on divine distribution. It is on our part. People have placed so much emphasize on material needs that spiritual needs are neglected or have little attention. People in the world today looks for material security first before going to God. But Jesus said.. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God.....". One of the greatest need today is the need of God.

Rev 3:17---Because thou sayest, I am increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

This is written to the church in Laodicea.. Take note.. they say they have need of nothing...This is a very dangerous state. People when they are increased with goods or prospering feels comfortable. It's so easy to feel secured, presuming instead of depending on God's grace. It is so easy to be satisfied with material blessings that we have little or no desire for spiritual blessing. It is so easy to become dependent on our physical resources that we feel little need of spiritual need. We must keep in our mind that we are mere stewards of what we possess now and we can't carry nothing out when the time is come for us to leave this world. There is no way you can succeed in life without God

2Cor 3:5---Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our suffiency is of God.

Whatever we possess, it is all from God who giveth us richly all things to enjoy. We need God today, tomorrow, everyday, until our very last day....our suffiency is of God.

Psa 51:2---Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Why did David said this thing? It is because he knows that we are limited on what we can do.We can wash ourselves outwardly and that is all we can do. We need God because only He can wash the inside, only He can cleanse the soul.

Psa 41:4---I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for i have sinned against thee.

Again this is David asking God to heal his soul.

Psa 106:26---Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercies.

David realized his need of God. He acknowledged God. This is what the world needs today....to come into realization of their true state...to come to God for healing of the soul. Thousands of people knew they are sick in their soul but they don't want to come to God who is able to heal the soul. And if that is the condition that you are in, the enemy is holding you so tight...and that is what he is going to do for he has only a short time left.

Think of tomorrow...If you die today where will you be tomorrow? Have you ever thought of that? While there is still time...Pray and come to God...Your greatest need.....is God.
