DO YOU HEAR?

-

1Kings 17:2

Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying,


A lot of things we work with in this world come from various sources and experiences. The need to make money is because we need to secure our continual provision: food, clothing, shelter, education, health, pleasure etc.


A lot of other things come into play:


* News Report:


* Pressure from family, friends and colleagues


* Fear of the future


* Sudden news from home


* Change of Government Policy


etc . . .


There is no end to what we hear, there will always be the "News".


1Kings 17:8

Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,


John 6:68

Then Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.


When the word of the Lord comes, every other News is secondary. All mouths are shut, protocols are removed. It just happens!


I am not talking of empty promises or steering motivational speeches to make us drop money or feel happy. No! 


There is a lot of noise in our world today, but our station must be tuned to the right channel. We must receive God's frequency "His Son" through "His Spirit"


Hebrews 1:2

has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;


John 14:17

 "even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.


Romans 4:17b

in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;


Nothing like hearing from God be it through:


* prayers

* His word

* worship

* His ministers

* in your spirit

* the unexpected little ones


If we are confident and hold on to what He says, all other "says" will not matter. He is the God that overrules!


Have we been listening to God?


As we enter the new week, let us revive our listening ear.


As we fellowship with others, may we get our rhema.


If we know the extent of what the Heavenly Father did for us through Christ Jesus, we would not be fooling around with religion, we will accept His salvation and enjoy true fellowship with the Father. For He did not leave His glory for nothing, He left it for love, that we may have life, and become family.


John 17:5 

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.


2Corinthians 5:18 

And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;


To what and Whom have you been listening to?


Study the Word and Listen to the Spirit. Help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.



Love

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
