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...

SPIRITUAL DISTANCE

  “… They honour me with their lips but their hearts are far from me.” Isaiah 29:13 Why would a miniser’s relation be downtrodden while this same minister ably delivers others outside his family? Why would a virtual participant be positively touched while those in his physical presence are left unimpacted? Could it be that one’s faith is stronger than the other’s? If ” YES “, how possible is it that those that are rather physically far from God’s servant can have stronger faith than those present in his immediate circle? Beloved, the simple reason for all these oddies lies in ” SPIRITUAL DISTANCE “. Whereas PHYSICAL DISTANCE has to do with the space between physical bodies, SPIRITUAL DISTANCE refers to the distance between Spirits. The two do not yield same profit(s). One that is physically close but Spiritually far accesses only physical benefits from the other; the person that is spiritually close, whether physically present or not, stakeholds all things from his or her partner. ...

SENSES OF THE SPIRIT !

    ” But solid food is for the [spiritually] mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between what is morally good and what is evil. “ Heb 5:14 AMP It’s an emphatic truth that God doesn’t only offer us His direct Voice and Visions. He also speaks and reveals through His creatures – living or inanimate. Yet, we cannot grab the import of these messages without the spiritual ability of perceiving, understanding and discerning them. There’s, therefore, the need for identifying and sharpening each of our five spiritual senses ! ( Psa 19:1‭-‬4 ) THE SENSE OF HEARING: “He who has an ear, let him hear what The Spirit says to the churches… ” Revelations 2:7. With this spiritual sense you are able to identify and discern the voice and sounds of God, angels, demonic spirits, and the sounds of activities in the spiritual realm. When your sense of hearing opens, you hear sounds while men hear noise. However, God’s not the only source of these voices; the...

KEEP YOUR HEART WELL.

    " Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life." Proverbs  4:23. KJV. Lot of the things christians are surrounded by today in this world, chiefly the social media, are not helpful. It is the reason why our opening verse suggests that we guard our hearts. Now, the mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart. And these spoken words go a long way to shape our lives. It's therefore patent that we can only let out good words when we first stock our hearts with positive information and faith-filled words. The two main gateways to the heart are the eyes and the ears. Now, guarding the heart means preventing negative information from reaching it through these main channels. That means, friends and environments that pose as potential threats to the peace, joy and love in our hearts must be barred.  Disclosed below are a few ways by which we can keep our hearts as we journey through this world. 1. Mind your Mind:   "A good man produces go...

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 !
