Levels Of Obedience II
“So they called the apostles back in and commanded them never again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, “Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him?” Acts 4:18-19.
The first level of obedience is to the Word of God. The second level of obedience is to the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God can never lead you contrary to the Word of God. If you feel a leading to do anything contrary to the Word of God, dismiss it. The third level of obedience is to authority. God expects us to obey constituted authority. However, where authority is asking us to contravene God, Read the rest of this entry
Levels Of Obedience I
“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do” Josh.1:8 [emphasis added].
You have read in the Bible that we should study it, meditate on it, and just do it. Peter asked Jesus how many times does one forgive his brother in a single day and Jesus said seventy times seven in a single day. You have read it, meditated on it, just do it. Someone has offended you, the next thing you do is forgive. But rather you are saying no one understands, you need time… What do you need time Read the rest of this entry
Get This Going
“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do” Josh.1:8.
Yesterday, we began to share meditation strategies to help us get hands-on with meditating on God’s Word. And we said, take a scripture like John 3:16 and engage it by reciting it. What reciting does is it puts the Word on your lips. Then just ponder on that Word while you are repeating it. And while your mind is engaged and focused on that scripture, if you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, begin to pray in Read the rest of this entry
Day And Night
“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do” Josh.1:8.
The second phase in the progression is meditate on it day and night. The word meditate is not strictly passive. A lot of the time when we talk about meditation, people’s minds immediately picture a sitting down on a yoga mat crossing your legs holding your arms. But that is not all meditation is about. Meditation involves you engaging the Word of God and like the Word says, you engage the Word day Read the rest of this entry
Make It A Habit
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2Tim.2:15..
Get a Bible. Don’t just get a Bible, read the Bible. Don’t just read the Bible, study the Bible. I love to study the Bible, which is why I find it challenging sometimes to read the Bible. I know some of you may find that statement confusing so let me explain. I was saved in August of 1995, baptized in the Holy Spirit in December of 1995. And Read the rest of this entry
The Solution
“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do” Josh.1:8.
Spend time with the Bible, studying the Word and cultivating the Presence of God. It is that Presence of God that will protect and shield you. Then you too would say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress and my God in whom I trust. A thousand may fall at my left and ten thousand at my right but it shall not come near me. Only with Read the rest of this entry
Just Do It!
“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do” Josh.1:8.
Life is all about progressions. Different aspects of life have different progressions. For instance the musicians will tell you that to score songs, you first identify the chord progression of the song. The farmer will also tell you that crops and animals have their varying progressions. The Word of God shows us clearly that there is a Read the rest of this entry
Responsibility Of Favour III
“The angel said, ‘Look up, and you will see that only the streaked, speckled, and spotted males are mating with the females of your flock. For I have seen how Laban has treated you” Gen.31:12
Access to the supernatural is so important. I can give you several examples of how access to the supernatural made the difference between where I was and my next level. I prophesy to you today that you will not go through this life blind but you will see as you ought to see and you will hear, as you ought to hear in Jesus Name.
Responsibility Of Favour II
“So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “You’re the man for us. God has given you the inside story—no one is as qualified as you in experience and wisdom. From now on, you’re in charge of my affairs; all my people will report to you. Only as king will I be over you.” Gen.41:39-40 [MSG]
To whom much is given, much is expected. I have seen Christians even Pastors doing so many things and getting away with it. Things I know I cannot try because my Father will seriously chastise me. When I was young I struggled seriously with this and would give God examples of all the people who are doing the same thing I was Read the rest of this entry
Responsibility Of Favour I
“But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much ill be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required” Luke 12:48
Many times we attribute a lot to ourselves that we have no business attributing. You are the apple of God’s eye, how He regards and responds to the apple of His eye has nothing to do with whether you prayed for two hours or didn’t do your quiet time. Again, do not get me wrong, we should pray and pray we must. Devout yourself to Read the rest of this entry
