ABOVE THE NOISE(a reminder)

-
We live in a world that is full of noise.  A lot of things coming in from every corner.

If you are to live in faith you should hear the voice of the Lord above all the noise.

Psalms 62:11
God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.

Jesus said His own will hear and thus they would follow Him, they would not follow another.

John 10:27
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

So many things seek our attention.
* Some are very important
* Some are not that important
* Some are a mere distraction

As we go about our duties and roles,  it is important to listen to the Father and He speaks to us through His Holy Spirit.

No wonder the character of the Holy Spirit is patience.

We must learn to patiently listen, because yes he would surely speak.

The love of God could seek your attention when you get so carried away or distracted, when you pay no attention or bother to listen to what He says.

Oh what pain, if we need crises to make God get our attention: It is never sweet.

Some stay deaf to God till it is too late, and they have to leave the scene.

Luke 12:20
 "But God said to him, 'You fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?'

He was too busy acquiring wealth, he must have listened to the analysis, the forecasters, he may have had so many advisers, even spiritual contractors.

God could have been speaking but he wouldn't have heard, so much noise had taken over.

Funny enough when he had finally calmed down, he heard the voice but it was too late.

THIS IS NOT FOR US!

We will hear His voice even in the midst of all the noise around us.

We will do His will.

And ofcourse He will direct us to prosper and succeed.

Yes we will.

Have you read the word, have you worshipped, and have you prayed today?

Do have a pleasant day.

You are blessed.

Love
@ the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
