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.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
