Psalm 63:1-8;
1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
Psalm 42:1-2:
1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

MFM Devotional For Today 2022 MESSAGE:
God created man primarily for fellowship. The Almighty purposed that the spirit of man should make Him, the Lord God, its habitation. The satanic incursion into the life of man however disrupted this divine agenda. The scale of priority was changed. Man started living for self rather than living for God.
Yet man cannot find rest for his soul without establishing that vital connection with the Almighty God. That deep hollow and emptiness in the heart of man shall continue to exist until man makes a complete u-turn and begin to earnestly seek God like the Psalmist whose soul pursues after God passionately.

Beloved, it is a known fact that since after the fall, human beings have been pursuing a lot of things, both legitimate and illegitimate, without thinking much about pursuing and possessing the Lord God of mercy.
Many spend their lives pursuing money, building houses and buying mansions and exotic cars. Some pursue the acquisition of wealth and fame even to the obvious damnation of their souls. Other people pursue after degrees and other academic certificates. Many others have been enslaved by the gathering of designer wears, shoes, bags and ostentatious jewelleries. In fact, some people spend all their time pursuing after the opposite sex. There are other people who pursue the acquisition of satanic power and dark magical art. The devil has so much overwhelmed many lives with evil appetite, inordinate passion and has also distracted them from pursuing God, which is the Ultimate Pursuit.
My beloved friend, hope you are not entangled by this rat race which is dragging many into hell fire. Our Lord Jesus Christ is warning against wrong pursuit in life, says in Luke 12:15, “… Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” I believe you now understand the message the Spirit of Christ has passed across to you. May your heart be opened to His voice today, in the name of Jesus.
