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...

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...
