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...

EZEKIEL

  MEANING OF NAME: God is strong or The Man God strengthens STORY IN BRIEF: Ezekiel, son of Buzzi, like Jeremiah, started first as a priest, but later had the calling of a Prophet at age thirty. He served in the Temple of Jerusalem that was later destroyed by the Babylonians. In the midst of events, God warned that the desire of his eye would die. And after his wife died, he was disallowed from publicly wailing - a sign of how Israel would suffer in the hands of their captivators without lamenting.  While in exile ( in Babylon by the River Chebar), the Prophet, also an artist, made a model of Jerusalem city, laid prostate and always prophesied over it. He either used symbols or demonstrations to deliver his messages. Ezekiel acted strangely because of the strange nature of his visions; he would either cut his hair and burn it, or he totally went dumb for a period of time. He had two major metaphorical visions where God - Israel's husband, was betayed by his wife after He had g...

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...

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...

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 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 !
