THOSE WHO SHOULD UNDERSTAND

-

Matthew 13:9-11

Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

His disciples came and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you talk to the people?”

He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not.


There are things that are given to the children of God to understand, they are not literal but divine. The pertain to the kingdom of God here and after here. It is food to the believer, those who will inherit the kingdom of God. 


When Jesus talked to Nicodemus that night when he came to pay Him a visit, He said:


John 3:10,12

Jesus replied, “You are a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don’t understand these things?

But if you don’t believe me when I tell you about earthly things, how can you possibly believe if I tell you about heavenly things?


Thus the spiritual things are for spiritual people to understand. Thus, it is strange that people who say they are from Christ teach as if they have never met Christ. They say they are of Christ and their teachings are all about  earthy things, putting emphasis on things that will end here. 


See, these things are taught by the world and they even go further to give you a certificate that shows that you are qualified in those areas. If that is what the gathering of believers is all about, then what is the use, when those things are taught better by people out of the church, with qualification and experience. 


Spiritual teachings cannot be taught by the carnal world. It is divinely given. When God’s wisdom is exposed it follows with power. 


Ephesians 1:17-18

asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.

I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.


It is this wisdom and knowledge that we are enriched with each time we come together to fellowship. The world cannot enjoy this, No, it is God’s gift to His children. 


1 Corinthians 2:6-7

Yet when I am among mature believers, I do speak with words of wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this world or to the rulers of this world, who are soon forgotten.

No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God—his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began.


If the church teaches this wisdom believers will not be complacent, instead they would live victorious lives for the knowledge of the truth sets you free. 


Hosea 4:6 

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.


Men who did exploits in the old testament were men of knowledge, filled with insight, men of wisdom. Joseph, Solomon and Daniel


Proverbs 4:7 

Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.


This is why we have God’s Holy Spirit. Not for what some people do today(s). 


What are you being fed spiritually in your gatherings? Are you growing, or are you just fed with junks. We believers are those chosen to understand the things of the Spirit, the secrets of the Heavenly Father is revealed to us. We are the light, let us not crawl in the darkness like those who have not believed. 


Heal your church O Lord. 


Help us Good Lord. 


He calls us 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
