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 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...
