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 Attra...

THE GREATEST WEAPON !

  “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds…. “ 2 Corinthians 10:4 KJV As christians, we are not improverished of ammunitions with which to withstand the enemy and his wiles. Yet these weapons are variably effective. There is, therefore, the need to look into the nature of each of them and reasonably determine the most productive. According to Paul, in the preceding scripture, our arms are not physical; prayer, praise/worship, faith, obedience and Light, are all rather abstract though results-yielding. Now, which of these does satan fear most? Let us find out from the following paragraphs. Prayer is a good arm. It transforms both on the inside and on the outside of us. But if prayer is a request, then satan can pray too; he got far into God’s presence, requesting of His permission to try Job. He demanded of The Lord to sift Peter like wheat. Thus, prayer is not satan’s most-feared ! Afterall, he too can pray to God. D...

JOANNA

  MEANING OF NAME: The Lord gives graciously. STORY IN BRIEF: A wealthy woman who worked in the courts of Herod Antipas. Her husband, Cuza, was also the estate manager of Herod Antipas. Joanna followed The Lord on missions, supported His Ministry with her gifts, and was privileged to have witnessed the resurrection of Jesus. These happened after The Lord delivered her from demonic obsessions. Obviously, Joanna would have attempted winning Herod Antipas over to Jesus. But her Spirit probably was dared when Herod beheaded John for Herodias and Salomey. SHORT BACKGROUND ON HEALING: Healing, from ancient Bible days, was seen more as spiritual than physical. Egyptian physicians would often drill holes in the heads of patients in order to create an exit for these "ailment-causing spirits". There were medical doctors, yet most patients were rather sent to the priest-physicians. REFERENCE SCRIPTURES: Luke 8:1 – 3; 24:10 (and Matthew 14:1 – 12) Luke 23:7 – 12

THE SINFUL WOMAN

  HER CHARACTER: She was a notorious sinner, possibly a prostitute or adulteress. Rather than trying to defend what was indefensible in her life, she admitted her sin and made a spectacle of herself in a passionate display of love and gratitude. STORY IN BRIEF: She was a notorious prostitute or adulterous woman that followed Jesus to Simon's house. There, she kissed The Lord's feet, mobbed it with her tears, wipped wit her hair and finally perfumed it. Simon, surprised at Jesus' silence, loudly thought, " would the son of our holy Father just watch on without repelling this sinful woman? " Jesus quickly narrated to Simon - a creditor cancelled his debtors debt( one 50 denarri, the other 500 denarri). Then, He asked Simon which of the two debtors he thought would be most appreciative. When Simon judged right, saying it would be the debtor with much debt, Jesus explained that it was the reason the woman did as much; she perceived that her much sins would be forgiven...

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 is the reason Abel's offering was accepted but Cain's, rejected ! For a seed to yield much, it must emanate from a heart of LOVE ( PASSION ) but not one from a FORCED ( PRESSURED ) heart.


2. UNDERSTANDING.

" And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the one who hears the word and UNDERSTANDS and grasps it; he indeed bears fruit and yields, some a hundred times [as much as was sown], some sixty [times as much], and some thirty.”

Matthew 13:23 AMP

Understanding furnishes us with reasons for words spoken, acts, and events. A forced seed is fruitless. So we must gain UNDERSTANDING to replace the sense of COMPULSION with LOVE or PASSION so our givings can yield fruits. God neither cheats nor owes; whatever a person sows, that also will he or she reap. But our UNDERSTANDING of HOW, WHEN and WHY we sow seeds maximises the harvest.


3. THE HEART

 In the parable of the sower ( Luke 8:15 ),  the soil is likened to the heart. Yes, the human heart ! A stony, and a weedy heart cannot keep the seed of God's Word. God's Word in our hearts would only yield fruits in our lives when the heart is first prepared, voided of grudges, hatred and doubt. God does not waste His seeds. So also are His Prophets; before we sow our Words into every other persons lives, let us first prepare their hearts for reproduction. For " the preparation of the heart belongs to man.." Proverbs 16:1.


4. The Grace of Giving.

"... see that you also excel in this grace of giving." 2 Corinthians 8:7

 This Grace of giving divinely enables us to give in such a manner that pleases God. By it, we passionately and joyously sow our seeds without feeling any stress. And there is always a timely harvest for the giver to keep sowing. Added to this Grace is also that special insight on WHAT, WHEN , HOW and TO WHOM a seed must be sown at a time ! Now, it is my prayer that everyone of us reading this article excels in this Grace as we resolve to do His WILL regarding sowing, in Jesus' name !

Beloved, every blessing from God is a gift of trust. He expects us to preserve and conserve them through the sowing of seeds. But while we do, let us constantly observe the revelations above.
