GOD SATISFIES EVERY NEED
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you always longing to meet your needs?
Does it lead you to desperation and greed?
If you look for someone to fulfill it
You’ll be disillusioned, no one can give it.
Only God can give life and breath
He is the answer for your quest
Turn to Jesus so you can be contented
He is faithful to provide, have you requested?
________________________________________
Many years of my life was a quest to have someone provide for my needs. I was desperate in my search because I thought another person could actually fill in all the unfulfilled needs I had. I felt empty and alone for many decades because I didn’t know that no human being can ever fill that void.
When I became born again six years ago, God revealed to me that no one but him can satisfy every need I have. I began seeing everything different. I had always set up very high expectations from the people I have relationships with. Because I lived a life of neglect growing up, I became an anxious person.
When I got deep into studying God’s word, he showed me how to rely on him and not on others or myself. I began to live under his grace and mercy and it was awesome.

GETTING ALL YOUR NEEDS MET
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you want to get all your needs met?
Fear the Lord and he will grant all of them
If you expect humans to satisfy your necessities
You will be let down, they won’t think it is necessary.
Humans are restricted unlike God who is limitless
If you revere him, you will experience his faithfulness’/>
He provides for all his people and gives them provision
Why not rely on him for all your needs and wisdom?________________________________________
I think that not everyone have their needs met. In my opinion, I think if our needs are all met, we won’t have much crime, mental illnesses, broken relationships and a corrupted society. Much studies have been made over the hierarchy of our needs and the different needs of the various stages of our life cycle. I had a tough childhood because as I was growing up, people focused more on the basic needs of food, shelter, clothing and maybe education in my country of origin. The emotional, mental and spiritual needs were not something people focused on that time.
The bible says that if we fear the Lord and we are righteous, we will be satisfied because the Lord will meet all our needs. So, why do we expect man to fulfill what only God can?

And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 4:19(NLT)
SUPPLIER OF NEEDS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you desperately looking for someone to satisfy your needs?
There is not a person who can actually supply you with this
Only our heavenly Father can satisfy and give us provision
He gave us his only Son to share his riches and give us redemption
Through Christ Jesus, we can be assured of all blessings
It is through him that we can be alleviated from sufferings
God is the one who can generously supply all our needs
He is fountain of goodness and the source of all things.
________________________________________
When I got married, I had this notion at the back of my mind that my husband is going to supply all my needs. Several years later, I got more frustrated each day because he couldn’t supply and meet my needs. When I started reading and studying God’s word, I finally had to give up this worldly and romantic notion that my spouse can fill all those needs. After all, he is as broken as I am himself.
The bible tells us that God is the only one who can supply all our needs. It is unrealistic to expect from people we love what only God can supply.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to only expect from you.
REFLECTION
What happens to relationships when we have very unrealistic expectations from those we are in relationship with?

CURE FOR NEEDINESS

The Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need. – Psalm 23:1(NLT)
CURE FOR NEEDINESS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you feeling down and frustrated?
Do you feel ignored and mistreated?
Are your expectations from your loved ones met?
Do you seek their approval and fret?
The Lord is your shepherd, you have all you need
He guides you and plants in your heart good seeds
He loves you so much and longs for your heart
Don’t allow the enemy to trample or make you depart.
Do you experience days when you feel so down, frustrated and tired? When there are nights that I am unable to sleep, usually, something is happening in my heart. One of the ploys of the enemy is to create “wants” in the guise of “needs” in our lives. Satan presents these wants in a very subtle and cunning way that makes it look like it is a need. In my case, I am usually distracted with many chores or a list of things to do that I haven’t finished. Then he comes and gives me more distractions so that I won’t focus and give my whole heart and mind to God.
The bible tells us that if you have God, you have all you need. You don’t long for the things of this world but Him alone.
PRAYER
Lord, let my heart pine for you.
REFLECTION
What wants prevent you from being close to God?
