REVELATION ( PART 1 )

" The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things REVEALED belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law." Deuteronomy 29:29 REVELATION  can be defined as that unique inspirational illumination of the mind in virtue of which the recipient conceives such thoughts as God desires him to commit to writing, but may not necessarily involve supernatural communication. It is a special understanding brought forth through contemplations or focus. Revelation is Light; Light that unveils the nature, ways, plans and purpose of God to us through the scriptures, creatures, His son – The Lord Jesus, events ( historical and present ) and miracles. In this section, we share on the two major types of revelation and their channels. Rightly Following are the these two types of revelation. GENERAL REVELATION These are revelations obtained from God through The Lord Jesus, creatures and people. For declaring that He and His father are one, we un...

SAMUEL

  MEANING OF NAME : HEARD APPOINTED OF GOD, OR OFFERING OF GOD. STORY IN BRIEF : Samuel, the Nazarite, was the son of Hannah and Elkanah of Ephraim. He was the first Hebrew Prophet of Israel following Moses but the last before the judges. Just after his mother dedicated him to the Lord, he was made to serve in Eli's shiloh as a priest. For his special assignments for the Lord, Samuel was specially forbidden from taking wine, and touching dead body. He also dedicated the Power of his head to God by preserving his hair.  Samuel had his first major prophetic at about the age of twelve, which was against Eli's family guilt. Being a military leader also, he helped his people win battles against the Philistines. The Israelites rejected his proposal for the installation of a King so he would privately install Saul, King over them. But his action was publicly approved later when Saul's earlier years of leadership won the admiration of his subjects. Soon after, Saul's reign deve...

REVELATION PART 2

  "And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding." Daniel 9:22 KJV Our verse here lets us know that Daniel received some divine secrets from God through His angel. But how else can we obtain revelations from God? This second PART of the subject enlightens us on the ways by which we access the LIGHTS of God. 1. READING OR STUDYING. "When you come, bring the bookcase and the books that I left in Troas with Qarpus, especially the parchment scrolls." 2 Timothy 4:13 By this verse, we understand the secret behind Pauls depth in God; Paul read stories of Bible figures; He studied the Law; He acquainted himself with the promises of God, and heard the Words of our Lord Jesus as narrated by his disciples. He even made notes, kept the books and meditated upon them constantly for Lights. Paul only taught after he had studied long enough to receive some revelations. No wonder, God wrought special miracles by ...

KEEP THE FIRE !

  ” The fire must never go out,…” Leviticus 6:12 God’s kingdom as recorded from Genesis to Revelation, is fire-dominated. Moses, first, encountered Him in a burning bush; Elijah got swallowed up by horse-like chariots; his servant, Elisha, wasn’t left out when he witnessed similar chariots of angels surrounding him later, and the list is endless. So Paul, The Apostle, simply concludes that God ( in whom we live ) is a consuming fire – Hebrews 12:29. The fire of God is that zeal, passion or heated and burning urge contained in our spirits for The Lord. It originates from God, yet He charges us to keep it from going off, as revealed from our theme scripture above. This piece will, therefore, not be complete without unveiling a few ways of sustaining God’s holy fire. THE WORD ” Is not my word like fire…?” Jeremiah 23:29. Then, the Prophet affirms, “… His word is in my heart like fire…” Jeremiah 20:9. So you can imagine what the Word offers our Spirit as we commune with it. They’re woo...

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...

THE EYES OF GOD !


“The eyes of the Lord run to and from through the whole earth.”

Zechariah 4:10.

The Greek name for God is Theos. It comes from the Greek root which makes up the word Theisthai, and that means, ” To see”. So God is the One who sees! God’s eyes refer to the all-knowing, all-seeing limitlessness of God, and yet at the same time His personal, ever-caring nature. Now does He see like men do? The content below exposes the uniqueness of God’s eyes.

Emotional.
God doesn’t only speak or show visions ! He often communicates with His eyes too. God’s eyes help Him to convey His feelings. The eyes He bears on His frowning face differ from those that appear on His smiley face. Now it takes spiritual discernment to ably tell what God says through His eyes at a time. Same eyes that show His displeasure, sadness, or anger now, at a different time may reveal His satisfaction, gladness or mercy. We can tell through His eyes if there’s an impending destruction or honour. We understand from Genesis 6:8 that Noah found favour in His eyes. What do you also find in the eyes of God when He looks at you? ( Ezekiel 7:4, 9; 8:18; 9:10 & Ezekiel 20:17 ).

Functional
It’s interesting noting that just as our parents who are able to guide us with their eyes, God also often leads us by His eyes. Which is why He says in Psalms 32:8, ” I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go…” It can be said that as God stares at our enemies with His stern, frightening eyes, they’re kept in check. That way, God safeguards and preserves His servants. Again, it takes only spiritual maturity to aptly descern what God does for us each time He stares at us. Then, we’ll know without necessarily hearing His Voice nor seeing His visions, that He strengthens us, tests us or disapproves of our steps.
( 2 Chronicles 16:9, Deuteronomy 11:12, Psalm 121:3-4, Psalm 11:4 )

Everywhere, Everytime !
Unlike men, God has seven eyes. These ever-opened eyes of God are all over, running and penetrating through the universe. God told Samuel that He does not look at the outward appearance, but the heart of men. Jesus was able to see nothing false in an approaching Nathaniel with whom He had no natural intimate relationship because He had the eyes of God – John 1:47-51. So permeating are God’s eyes that they reach out to the depths ! ( Zech 3:9; Rev 5:6, Prov 15:3 & 1 Samuel 16:7 )

Beloved, in order to secure and maintain these all empowering eyes of God, there’s The need to keep ourselves sanctified.
“For the eyes of The Lord are upon the righteous… ” 1 Peter 3:12. Hallelujah !
