GOMER

  MEANING :  Completion STORY IN BRIEF: Gomer - wife of The Prophet, Hosea, mocked at her husband's tenderness while allowing other men to seduce her upon squandering her husband's gifts. Earlier, The Lord instructed Prophet Hosea to marry a whore from an adulterous nation, so he did. And the names of their three children, meaning: "God scatters" , "Not loved"  and "Not my people", pronounced the severity of the Prophet's seperation from his wife. Hosea is now heart-broken. The Lord does not only see the fulfilment of God's Word in His life; God teaches him lessons from Israel's unfaithfulness through her wife's misdeeds. Finally, God asks Him to still love his wife just as He, God, still loves Israel inspite of their stubbornness. When the Prophet did, his wife returned and their love life was restored.

THE BENEFITS OF SERVING GOD !

  ” There is profit in all labour but…” Proverbs 14:23 Our opening scripture says there’s profit in every labour. That’s why He says, ” Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;…” Afterall, you’ll prosper in everything you do. But the Bible points out that he that’s from above is above all. Thus, one can equally assert that the labour from above is above all other earthly labour. The paragraphs below prove the superiority of kingdom roles over earthly professions. ( Ecclesiastes 9:10, John 3:31 ) FAVOUR & PEACE. “The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith…” Proverbs 10:22. Peace is never found in wealth. Only God gives true divine peace. Accompanying the FAVOUR of God due to our continued submission to him, is Peace. Peace is the condition of The human Spirit that secures, sustains and multiplies the BLESSING. It comes as a result of our righteousness. And righteousness is the reward of FAVOUR.

SALVATION !

SALVATION simply means” Rescue or Deliverance “. In the Old Testament ( OT), it is represented by the Hebrew word, ” ישועה ” , which means ” to rescue or deliver from a real, physical danger or trouble. But the Greek Word that stands for it in the New Testament (NT), “sotiria”, means ” to deliver from sin and it’s consequences” A consummate definition would, therefore, be ” deliverance from sin, and other life-time troubles ” – 1 thessalonians 1:10, Psalms 54:1 & 2 Kings 19:19. The preceding introductory paragraph simply unclothes what we are saved from; to put things into broader perspective, it is worth noting that, as referenced from Psalms 20, God alone is the source of salvation in the OT. Paul would, however, refer the people to Jesus when he was asked what they would do to be saved in the NT. ( Acts 16:30-31). And we are saved to be reconciled with God. Salvation is triune – Past, Present and Future. The first but elementary level is a one-time experience that simply ushers...

HEEDING GOD !

 Obeying God is foolishness to this world, yet it's this  "foolishness"  God uses to confound   "the Wise in this world"  ( Jeremiah 8:9, 1 Corinthians 1:27 & Issaiah 44:25 )

The Syrophoenician Woman

  STORY IN BRIEF: Though a Gentile, she addressed Jesus as “Lord, Son of David.” Her great faith resulted in her daughter’s deliverance. A gentile whose daughter was demon-possessed. She, on learning that Jesus came to Tyre, followed through for her daughter's deliverance. Though, there was a thick hedge of crowd, she pressed on to meet with The Lord. Now, Jesus would not mind her pleas. His disciples suggested that He sent away the woman,but The Lord's response only urged the woman; Jesus told his desciples He came for the lost sheep. When the gentile implored Him more, Jesus responded that it was not right to throw the children's bread to the dogs. But the Syrophoenician replied that even the dogs benefit from the crumbs that fall off the master's table. Then, Jesus said to her, "thy request has been granted; go in peace ! ". So the woman returned and realised her daughter was healed in that very hour.  REFERENCE SCRIPTURES: Matthew 15:21 – 28; Mark 7:24 – 3...

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION


 


"...that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled,..."

John 1:1


If you consider your circle now, you will conclude that friends with whom you have similar personality outnumber those with deferring personality. You should also notice that, often times, you suddenly meet with or receive calls from, those you strongly  think of and long to see. These are manifestations of the Law of Attraction !


" The heart is DEEP beyond all things... " Jeremiah 17:9 Brenton Septuagint Translation. And Psalm 42:7 says DEEP calleth unto DEEP. Equating the two scriptures will help us deduce that, HEART calls unto HEART.  SOUL calls unto SOUL. That is the Spirit of the law - Like attracts LIKE !


Our opening verse starts with HEARING or SEEING and ends with HANDLING. Until a man hears or sees, he cannot handle. Yet, what we finally touch is always LIKE what we already hear and see according to the Law of Attraction.  So even flocks reproduced offsprings that bore the colour of the sticks they kept looking upon ( Genesis 30:31-43 ).


God brought out Abraham from his tent to SEE the innumerabilty of the stars; He asked Jeremiah, " What have you SEEN?"; and to Moses, He said, " SEE, I have made you a god unto Pharaoh..." Obviously, God Himself knows we attract unto ourselves that which we see with the eyes of our mind or with the eyes of our Spirits. ( Exodus 7:1, Jeremiah 1:11 )


A brother was asked by God to write his desired exams results on the wall of his room so he could always see same. He did and when the results finally came, he had same aggregate.


Another brother, on understanding this Law, applied it by pasting copies of fake currency notes on His wall and continually gazed upon it. After a couple of days, someone miraculously gifted him with a colossal amount.


If by beholding as in a mirror ( of The Word of God), the glory of the Lord, we are  transformed into same glorious image, then, indeed, just as the Law says, we attract unto ourselves, the good or evil we behold of ourselves. - 2 Corinthians 3:18.


This is why the Law of Attraction demands that we see, hear, think and speak only good thoughts or words, if we want to see their manifestations. But our sights must be of God - we need to constantly access His presence and meditate on His Word.


Then, God, as His convention has always been, will first respond to us with VISIONS, VOICES and REVELATIONS to prosper our souls ( WILL, EMOTIONS and MIND ), so all other forms of prosperity can follow - 3 John 1:2.


With His Visions, God offers us a thinking pattern; His VOICES instill in us FAITH and LOVE to desire or will; His REVELATIONS empower us to always speak and live out these VOICES and VISIONS, even in times of troubles. Before long, we would realise the substances of these sights in reality.


 " The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but the things that are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. " Deuteronomy 29:29. Revealed unto us now is the Law of Attraction, and it belongs to us. So let us use it to our benefits. HALLELUJAH !
