Pay Attention

-
TEXT :  Heb 2:1

For this reason we must pay closer attention to the things we have heard, or we may drift away,

The  chapter one of the book of Hebrews 1:1-2 stated that:

 _God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,  1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the the worlds_ 

The word spoken by the Father(God) unto us in these last days is Salvation. 
God has spoken.
salvation unto ALL mankind through the death and resurrection of His son- Jesus Christ. 

Hence Jesus is still speaking(salvation) over everyone till date. He said in _Hebrews 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation_ 

From the above, we see once again that Jesus is still speaking even now. He, however will save only those who hear him, do His commands and abide in His will.

Two things we must do in order to be to saved to the uttermost(end) :

1. Harden not your heart.

Jesus is always speaking by His Holy Spirit, unto those that are saved (Prunning - John 15 )and those yet to be saved.(conviction of Sins).

We must however, pay attention to God's instuctions and commands. 

Anyone  that continually neglects God's instructions is  hardening his own heart to his own peril

 *Learn to keep a simple heart that easily turns to the Lord in repentance, a contrite and a broken spirit, God will not despise.* 

Perhaps the Lord is speaking to you Now about the need for you to follow him with a simple heart of Faith.

Learning to promptly turn  to the Lord,  it's very important.


2.Take heed. 

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 

The second thing that  hinders salvation is unbelief. God wants us to simply trust and obey. The whole of  Israelites(except for  Joshua and Caleb) could not enter into the promised land  because of unbelief.

Once we give ourselves to this word which we have heard; our salvation will be assured to the very end.

We must pay close attention to ourselves and to the word we have received , lest those truth we have learnt, slipped off our hands.


Bible Reading:  Hebrews 3:7-19.

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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
