QUEEN JEZEBEL

HER NAME : Where is the Prince ( Baal)? JOY :  Jezebel realised her evil ambitions by killing Elijah's Prophets and initiated her subjects into idolatory. SORROW : Her arrogance and twisted heart brought her disgrace. STORY IN SHORT: Jezebel was a daughter of Ethbaal, the King of Sidon and the priest of the god, baal. She was also the wife of King Ahab. Jezebel reigned as Queen over part of Israel, 100years after David's death but 60years after the death of Solomon. Like her father, Jezebel would force all, including the Israelites into idol worship for she believed baal was the one causing the rains to pour. She did not only initiate her subjects into idolatry and witchcraft - spirits that dominated the princess herself, but also killed all of God's Prophets except Elijah. One day, Elijah summoned Jezebel's 850 false Prophets for a match to find out if baal had the supremacy over God. But Elijah won as he successfully called down fire from God to consume the sacrificia...

DEATH BEFORE LIFE !

“The Lord kills and gives life…”  1 Samuel 2:6. Smith Wigglesworth once said he had his healing Power from God after his heart was first broken ( he lost his wife ). Another servant said just after God told him through a Prophet that he would get a better job, he first got fired from his own job. Clearly, God’s way for His followers is different but higher – He first kills before He brings back to life !  A Man of God whose church now is one of the most expanded ones in Africa, once said His church rather took a disgraceful downturn initially when he started making mouthwatering sacrifices unto God. One other servant narrated how that his relation suffered from a crush just after he arrived from a mission for God, even with His material sacrifices – God kills and makes alive ! Before a more glorious end, Job lost his properties and children. Joseph was betrayed and disappointed a few times before arriving in the palace. How about The Lord Jesus? Preceding His death, resurrecti...

THE LORD'S ROD !

  " And there shall come forth a ROD out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:" Isaiah 11:1 The ROD, Prophet Isaiah mentions in our opening verse, actually refers the Lord Jesus - The LIVING WORD. And if God could carry out strange acts with the rod in Moses' palms, He can equally perform Mighty MIRACLES in our lives with His WORD in our mouths. We all can recount the several miracles Moses' rod performed in the eyes of Pharaoh, that scared him into letting the Israelites go from Egypt. It was this same rod God asked Moses to lift over the red sea for a way out. And when there was a need for a drinking water, Moses would still hit the rock with this rod. No wonder ! He says, " ..... take this ROD in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs." Ezodus 4:17 KJV. Now, this rod is no longer physical; it's the Living Word of God in our Spirits. We hold this rod in our palms by constantly meditating upon the WORD of GOD, keeping them e...

MIRIAM - HER LIFE STORY !

  NAME MEANING : Bitterness. HER FEAT:  She played a key role in helping preserving Moses whom God used later to deliver the Israelites from Egypt. HER REGRET  : Miriam,with all her help in preserving the life of her brother, could not enter the promised land as she for her arrogance and insurbordination. HER STORY IN BRIEF : Miriam was the only daughter among Moses and Aeron. She would comport herself when her mum, Jechrobet, hid the baby Moses from Pharaoh and his executioning team for three months. When Moses was finally taken to the river Nile and hidden in a basket by her mum, Miriam would stay a little longer than her mum did, keeping her eyes on the basket to see if anyone would reach out for it. Fourty years later, God faithfully preserved Moses and brought the Israelites - including Miriam and Aeron, out of Egypt by him - Moses. After they successfully crossed the red sea, Miriam led in the celebration of that feat. But Miriam and Aeron later stood again...

MARKS OF GOD-APPOINTED PROPHET !

  After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of hisexcellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. JOB 37:4 our opening scripture establishes that God's genuine Prophet has no gentility when he delivers from the heart of His father. He doesn't only act strangely, but also behaves exactly like a lion while delivering, in verbatim, the message of the Lord. Identified in the content below are some more attributes of a true prophet: ROAREY The Prophet of God, as shown in our opening verse, is not a timid housefly but a voiceferous aggressive lion, whose voice appears to be taking off that roof from the building top, and shakes the ground under your feet. The tone and speed of his voice remain the same whether he is casting out demons, disclosing a secret matter or giving guidance. STRONG As a lion, the Prophet operates in divine strength. He is neither down in His body nor in the Spirit. He ably prays , fasts and ministers for several hours without feel...

THE VOICE OF GOD !

 

God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night.
Genesis 1:16

There are two major sources of God’s Word – the scriptures and the direct Voice of God ! Whereas the former of these sources is limited or general, the latter is specific,  more empowering, and most reliable. Apparently, the Voice of God is the greater of these two Lights. Not so, Peter wouldn’t conclude, ” We have a more sure of Word of prophecy”, referring to God’s Voice that had come to them on the Mount ( 2 Peter 1:19). But why is His Voice so indispensable? Let’s find out !

THE NATURE AND BENEFITS OF HIS VOICE.
Inherent in His voice is the Spirit of Faith that comes to replace fear, dissipate darkness, and strengthen the weak. This Voice is self-reliant, forceful and fiery. It lifts up the seated back on his feet, and the one that already walks, it puts on the run ! Remember how The Spirit of this Voice lifted Ezekiel back on His feet while He spoke to Him. Paul himself did no further consultations with flesh and blood on hearing God ! I  always find myself suddenly obeying His Voice without knowing it too. God’s Voice isn’t a mere compromisable instruction, revelation or warning; it requires no struggling effort from the hearer in order to manifest itself. Even before God speaks, He makes available the material of His Voice. So don’t wait for Him to land while He speaks to you. Start watching out for your testimonies because the evidence of His voice is already in existence around you ! His voice shapes, repostions and makes happen; contained in this Voice is that zeal, power, and passion that makes us become what He speaks to us ! His voice is self-sufficient !
( Ezekiel 2:2, Galatians 1:16)

HOW TO HEAR GOD.
” The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.” Psalm 29:3.
The above verse lays emphasis on the written word as the major bait for God’s Voice. Same is seen in Psalm 23:2, when the Psalmist says, ” He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,”.
But God’s written word is likened to water in Ephesians 5:26. So it goes to say that God’s Voice, whether thunderous or still and soft,  is mostly heard while meditating on His written words. John, however, heard God’s Voice when he was in the Spirit – Revelation 1:10. Until we die to self and become alive to God’s Spirit, we cannot hear Him – It’s the reason we fast. That way, the Human Spirit gains ascendancy over the flesh. Three more basic ways of obtaining God’s Voice are through prayers, worship, and praises. The Lord does not only inhabit our praises; He also causes His voice to be heard as we praise Him ! ( Isaiah 30:29-30). Let me sharply expound that just as an experienced casier can easily detect counterfeit note, so it is that a matured believer can easily identify the Father’s voice, and differentiate it from a stranger’s voice. Jesus said so but in different words – My sheep hear my voice. ( John 10:27). The only way to mastering the Voice of God is by keeping a continued, but more intimate relationship with Him !

When we approach Him, He either offers us His vision, insight or Voice; hearing God  matters  when it comes to walking with Him; But here’s The Lord saying, ” Be careful therefore how you hear…” – Luke 18:18. He likes us to consider the source of these voices so what we hear is neither from our flesh nor from the devil, but from Him alone; The Lord wants us to consider how often we hear because The Spirit is always saying something. Praise God !
