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 )

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 ...

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...

ELI

  MEANING OF NAME : Jehovah is high or my God  HIS JOY : His good personality earned him admiration and corporation from his fellow Israelites during his ministry. HIS REGRET : His two sons let him down by their low quality characters. STORY IN BRIEF : Eli, a Levi, was from the family of Ithamar. He served as the priest and a high judge of Israel for about 40years. Though Eli himself was a good man, his two sons were not. Yet He made them occupy the Priestly positions. And when they went wrong, Eli would only warn them. He did not rebuke them.  Eli paid deerly for lack of proper parental control when his two sons were slaid in the battle with the Philistines, where the Israelites also lost the ark. Eli, on hearing this, fell over his back and died breaking his neck. And because that Glory was departed from Israel, Eli's daughter-in-Law  named the son she immediately brought forth, " Ichabod " which means, " without Glory ". SCRIPTURE REFERENCES : I Sam. 1–4; 14:...

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 !
