PAY ATTENTION

Text : Pro 4:1 ISV 

Listen, children, to your father’s instruction,   and pay attention in order to gain understanding._ 

Your life is the aggregate of what you have paid attention to. 

Being mindful of how well you listen to others will be an important consideration throughout your life. Listening and paying attention to others when they speak is a sign of respect and a skill that will lead to deeper and better relationships.

Much more important than paying attention to others is paying attention to God's instructions.

One of the greatest strategies of the devil is to distract you from paying attention to God's instructions. And the reason is very simple,  he knows instruction is life, and he doesn't want man to gain life. 

Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.Pro 4:13,  

To take fast hold of instruction, you must first listen to the instruction and then, pay close attention to it. If indeed you realised that INSTRUCTION IS YOUR LIFE,  then you should pay Rapt Attention to it. 

An instruction was given to Joshua as to how to have *GOOD SUCCESS* 

"This set of instructions is not to cease being a part of your conversations. Meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to carry out everything that’s written in it, for then you’ll prosper and have good success."Joshua 1:8 ISV.

Well,   just like Joshua, you have been given an open cheque too. The power to gain life and record resounding success has been given to you, all you need to access it is to pay attention to all the  instructions. That is, you have to meditate on it day and night and be careful to carry out everything written in it. 

The devil doesn't have problem in you going to Church, dancing or doing any other activities for that matter.  What he is really after is for you not to pay attention to God's word,  because once you do,  light will come to you, understanding will flood your heart and you will be free from his manipulations. 

 *CULTIVATE THE CULTURE OF LISTENING AND PAYING ATTENTION TO GOD, AND PAYING ATTENTION TO MAN WILL JUST FLOW NATURALLY. IN THIS,  YOU WILL LEAD A BEAUTIFUL LIFE.* 

Bible reading: Proverbs 4:1-27.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
