*DAILY DEW 23/MAY/2022* *THE NECESSITY OF HUNGER* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *“Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh."* (Luke 6:21 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Jesus recognized the place of being hungry for righteousness. He called them blessed. If just simply being hungry for righteousness is considered blessedness by Jesus, it means to NOT be hungry for righteousness is not acceptable and not recommended. So the question is, DO YOU HUNGER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS? To answer that question, it would require you understand what being hungry for righteousness means. To understand this, let's consider what Jesus answered John the Baptist when He was to be baptized but John protested at first! *_But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: FOR THUS IT BECOMETH US TO FULFIL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS. Then he suffered him._* (Matthew 3:14-15 (KJV)) The response of Jesus shows that He was hungry for righteousness. He recognized that FULFILLING ALL righteousness was a necessity. Aside Jesus being born of the Holy Ghost by Mary, this hunger for righteousness, this consciousness of the NEED to fulfill all righteousness is KEY to him being able to lead a blameless and pure life. This is what being Hungry for righteousness means. It means being on the look out to do the things that are righteous. In this world of sin and lust, if you are NOT hungry for righteousness, you will always condone unrighteousness and you will always make excuses for falling into sin! _MEDITATION:_ *“How hungry are you for righteousness? The promise is, if or when you are truly hungry for righteousness, you will be filled! If you are not hungry, you won't be filled. Are you hungry for righteousness?"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo_Esq* *#Monday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Grace_For_Accomplishments* *#Hello_May* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.
