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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
