HEARING FROM
GOD – Saturday November 26th 2016
Memorise:
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the
wilderness. Hebrews 3:8
Read: Hebrews
1:1-3 (KJV)
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past
unto the fathers by the prophets,
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 worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express
image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he
had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on
high:
Bible in one
year: Genesis 48-50, Psalms 108
MESSAGE
One of the
illustrations of the Trinity says; God is the Father in Majesty, Jesus is the
son in suffering while the Holy Spirit is the Spirit in Striving. Jesus is the
Word of God that became flesh among men. He is the one that the Father
appointed over all the things He created. In time past, there were different
ways that God used to reveal Himself to humanity. He spoke through dreams, or
through supernatural happenings. In the present age, the Father communicates to
us through His son Jesus Christ. Everyone that seeks for the Father will find
Him only through the Son. Open Heaven Saturday 26 November 2016:-
Hearing from
God. Jesus is the
only way through which men can be saved. Everything that God has can be
inherited only through the Son. There is no way we can deeply understand the
character and nature of God if not revealed through the Son. Through the son,
we know how powerful the Father is. Through the son, we know how more than
enough the Father is. Through the son we understand how loving and faithful the
Father is. The Glory of the Father is radiated to the world through the Son. It
is through the omnipotent Word that the universe is being held together. It is
through the atoning work of Jesus on the Cross that our sins are purged away.
We have stories
of people in the Bible who refused to acknowledge the supremacy of God in their
lives. They refused to retain God in their hearts even though they daily
enjoyed His works. Because they refused to put God in their hearts, they
suffered a lot in the hands of their enemies. They were warned from time to
time by prophets of God until they were condemned to captivity. This will never
be your portion in Jesus’ name. This is why you must make up your mind for
Jesus.
There are
people who do not want to hear anything about Jesus. Such people in the times
of trouble will have nowhere to hide. If you don’t honour His Word in your
life, He will never bring you to the place of honour. The moment someone
refuses to open up his or her heart to Jesus, the devil will take over such a
life. The children of Israel refused to hearken to the will of God and the Lord
chastised them by allowing their enemies to take them to captivity. When you
allow the Word of God in your life, it will transform you into the image of God.
2nd Timothy
3:16 says:
“All scripture
is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”
One of the ways
to harden ones heart is to refuse to accept and obey the will of God, when
one’s emotions and intellect isn’t under the control of the Almighty God. Those
who do not accept the Word of God in their lives will always provoke God to
rise in judgment against them. 26 November 2016 Open Heaven.
If the
judgment of God comes upon an individual, he may be left to wander in the
wilderness of life. Accepting Jesus is accepting the Word of God into your
life. It is finding rest for your soul.
Prayer Point
Father, help me not to harden my
heart to your Word.
