A MUST READ! (Don't be hard in hearing)

-

Hebrews 5:11

of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.


There may be days we do not feel like listening to the word of God or do not feel relaxed enough to meditate on it. It could be that we are exhausted, occupied or just not in the mood.


Staying long enough in that withdrawal or denial is dangerous, for eventually it becomes normal and we do not feel uncomfortable if a day passes and we have not heard from God.


I love this lyrics from Jeremy Camp's song titled "slow fade":

 ["It is a slow fade, when you give yourself away
 A slow fade when black and white turns to gray
 Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
 When you give yourself away
 People never crumble in a day]


The urge to hear from God fades away as we go day by day without hearing from Him.


Though we may have the bible, it remains a book till we study and listen to God from it.


Though we pray again and again, we do not get better till we hear God speaking into our spirit His will and His ways, giving us direction, filling us with comfort and peace.


Though we go to church, we are not a part of the body till we fellowship and are committed to love.


We must learn from the errors of those who lived before us, some fell, while some stood. We must also stand.


Acts 28:27
For the heart of this people has grown dull. their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their heart and turn, so that I should heal them." '


We must not get tired of daily exaltations. No matter how brief, we must feed our spirit each day. We cannot be too busy, no, we could make out that time. It doesn't have to be long.


This is what "the watcher" exaltation is meant for!


Hebrews 3:13
but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.


Hebrews 13:22
And I appeal to you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.


Remember that the heart is never a vacuum, something must always occupy it. Fill it with the word of the Lord 100%, that there would be no room for any contamination.


Also do you know that there are some supposed teachers, ministers, no matter what title they bear, who are filling people with heresies and their own ideas. That is why we must know God for ourselves. The salvation we have made Christ our Lord and not anyone else. Don't be deceived.


Colossians 3:24
Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.


If anyone, no matter their title, has begun to take the place of Christ in your life then you are in serious trouble. Selah


All your Spiritual leaders must lead you to Christ and not to themselves, the world or Mammon. Be wise!


We have the Spirit so what is the use if we are not led by the Spirit. Selah


Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER
Loving Father let Your presence always be with me. Things will work out well. Favour is mine. You are in full control. I will never go without You Lord, for without You I am nothing. No one will take Your place Lord. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


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

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J

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
