WHAT YOU SEE

Text : Proverbs 4:21  

Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart.

Most of us are familiar with the words of Jesus in Matthew 24:4, "take heed therefore how ye hear" (KJV). But we also ought to take heed how we see. 

Generally speaking, our eyes play an important role in our faith because the Bible is a book to be read, reread, studied, analyzed and then read again. 1 Timothy 4:13 says, "Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture." 

Paul expresses his personal need for reading and study when he requests of Timothy, "When you come, bring . . my scrolls, especially the parchments" (2 Tim 4:13). Our physical eyes, therefore, play an important role in the process of establishing faith and in our unending effort to remain strong in that faith.

For anyone to be established in the faith, he must be well-fed in the word. There are basically two windows through which you can be fed, viz:

1. Your eyes and 

2. Your ear, Matt. 13:13.

What comes out from your mouth is a function of what is in your heart. Matthew 12:34. Luke 6:45. 

 *And what is in your heart is a function of what you have stored there through your ears and eyes. Pay attention to what you see and ear.* 

This is why you should take the prayers in Ephesians 1:17-18 very seriously. *Without ears and sight, no one can come to the saving knowledge of Christ. Matt. 13:16-17.* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. pray that the eyes of your understanding be enlightened that you may kno2 what is the hope o: His Calling. 

2. Pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ.

Bible reading: Matthew 13:1-23.

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 ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
