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...

REMEMBER THE LORD !




 



” Remember the former things long past,

For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is no one like Me…”
Isaiah 46:9.

Often times, we blame our stagnancy or retrogression in life on the devil, curses or some covens elsewhere rather than taking a self-check on our own attitudes to see where we miss it. It’s worth noting that forgetting God’s goodness and the kind gestures shown us by others is also a sin that can hold one back in life. Jesus, having this insight, would always give attributes to the Father in Him as the doer of His works. The following paragraphs reveal more on the need to remember the positives.

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, …” Hebrews 6:10.

If forgetfulness is unrighteous, then remembrance is righteousness ! One personal attitude I’ve always thanked God for is that, I always dwell on the positives of people ignoring their errs no matter how hurting it could be. And this should be every believer’s lifestyle too. The verse above shows that in spite of our mistakes, God still rewards us for our good works.  Now, if we’re going to imitate God as Paul suggests in Ephesians 5:1, then we must equally remember God’s benefits and the goodness of others in our lives, by honoring them materially and with word of mouth.

” Remember the LORD your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful,…” Deuteronomy 8:18.

Secondly, remembrance enables God to preserve and sustain His blessings in our lives. But how does it happen ? Back in the old testament, the Israelites only praised God when they saw God’s Glory descend over Moses’ tent. And God, satisfied with this form of worship, never denied them of His presence. Now, seeing the Glory of God connotes remembering His goodness. So when we behold His Glory by remembering His BLESSINGS in our lives, it results in spontaneous praises unto His name and the giving of thanks, financially or materially. This in turn, provokes God to divinely enable us with His power to achieve more.

Thirdly, testimonies abound through remembrance. Let’s be quick to know that testimonies in themselves are so powerful that the Psalmist would pray, ” The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live…” Psalm 119:144.  Each time I want to seal and protect every new blessing from God, I consciously go testifying about it at  church and before my friends. Remembering God would mean meditating on The miracles of God and sharing theme with others.

Beloved, remember The Lord from afar. Regardless of where you are today – your status in finace, education, family, career, and relationship, let’s strive to honour the goodness of God and people in our lives.  That way, much more would be accomplished through our walk with The Lord ! – Jeremiah 51:50.
