HEARING AND SEEING

Text: Philipians 4:9.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Your ears and your eyes are like windows and doors to your soul and your spirit. When Proverbs  4:23 says, *Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.What it is saying invariably is, pay attention to what you hear or see because it can lead you to death or to life.

When Apostle John was discussing matters of eternal life, the first  things he mentioned were the ears and the eyes. He says, _That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;_ 1John 1:1.

What you hear and see is important to your growth as a child of God. 

There are many junks in our world today in the name of revelation. You may not have control over what people say or do, but you sure have control over what you chose to hear, see or pay attention to. 

Before your inner ears and eyes can be conditioned to pick spiritual frequency, your physical ears and eyes must be disciplined in hearing what is edifying.

Proverbs  20:12 says,   _The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them._ This suggests that some ears don't hear and some eyes don't see the things of the Spirit.  You can however ask the Lord to bless you with what He has made. 

From our text, we are told to do those things which you have learnt, received, heard and seen. It's not enough to hear or see, you must be a doer too. It is in doing that you can become all that God wants you to be.

Bible reading:

1 John 1:1-10.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Heavenly Father, please, bless me with both hearing ears and seeing eyes in Jesus name.

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...
