THE GREATEST WEAPON ( Part 2))

And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 1 Samuel 15:22 KJV . Our preliminary article has established that of all the weapons, including prayer, praise/worship, knowledge and faith, obedience is the greatest. Faith is proved by obedience. As the popular adage is, ” practice makes perfect.”, so knowledge itself is also not complete without obedience. Prayer, praise and worship are all forms of sacrifices, yet God says obedience is better than them all. Today’s piece reveals why Obedience is God’s number one ! As quiet as obedience is, it remains the loudest tone of faith amongst prayer, praise and worship. The three Hebrew boys had not even the slightest hint of deliverance from God if they disobeyed the king’s orders.But their faith-oriented obedience was voiceferous in the ears of God ! How about Daniel, Job and Joseph? They equa...

LISTEN CAREFULLY !

    " Be careful therefore how you listen..."  Luke 8:18. Words do not only have the efficacy to colour our thoughts; with their forceful potency, they simulate and propel our Spirits into a certain direction. Whereas some words deepen our fears, others expand our faith depending on their source. God-originated Words do not only invigorate us with His POWER; they also never disappoint when we live them out. So we are charged from our opening verse to listen to God alone. And when we do, we must also understand Him so we can aptly effect His Words. Here's the reason for the failure of some prophecies -  The Prophet of God might be mistaking another voice for God's voice or he misinterpretes what he actually heard God say leading to an erroneous application. It's the reason why James says, " be quick to listen but slow to speak". James 1:19. Ezekiel, the Prophet of God, full of this wisdom, would never prophesy until God first commanded him. And when he di...

SOWING THE RIGHT WAY !

" For there is a right time and procedure to every purpose..." Ecclesiastes 8:6 A seed is a  gift offered to God or to a man in demonstration of LOVE or HATRED. It takes the forms of money, property, crops, physical food, words of the tongue and attitude.  Seeds - good or bad, reproduce their kind. This, we must understand in our walk with God and in our relationship with man. The one who desires to reap good fruits must sow good seeds ! Unfortunately, much may not be harvested from our seeds when we sow disregarding the WILL of God. It is, therefore, imperative to observe God's " HOWs " and " WHENs " concerning sowing, as disclosed below. 1. LOVE:  " If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:3.   When LOVE guides the giver, the best is offered out. Such gifts are so significant that they create vacuums with the giver, while touching the heart of the receiver. It ...

REAPING THE HARVEST

  To everything, there is a season - a time to sow, and a time to reap; the farmer ( sower ) certainly has his time of harvest but until he waters his seeds, rids the wheats of the tares and applies the fertilizer he is not guaranteed a good yield. So also is every other sower. Until harvest time comes, there is always something we must do in order to maximize our yield. Some of these are explained below: 1. Clear the weeds from your field “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.”—Genesis 2:15, KJV The word translated keep in Hebrew means “to put a hedge of thorns around, to watch over; to guard, protect and safeguard.” When a farmer plants seed in a garden, he doesn’t just walk away and hope for the best. No! He has much to do to protect his crop. And so do you. What can choke your crop? Walking outside of love. This includes unforgiveness, bitterness and strife. So, keep a watch on your heart, pull the “weeds” out by the root...

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 !
