Step Aside & Listen

By
Habakkuk
“I will take my place at the watchtower. I will stand at my post and watch. I will watch and see what He says to me.
 I need to think about how I should respond to Him 
When He gets back to me with His answer” Hab.2:1
“We do not learn by experience. We learn from experience by reflecting” –Anonymous. This is so true. Things happen to us every day, if we learn by experience, everybody will be so smart. But most of the time, we are not even paying attention. We do not even take time out to reflect on the things that happen to us daily. A whole lot has happened in this year already. God is saying to you, Solitude! You need time out and reflect. You need to!

The third thing is Listening. Why listening? It is because tuning is a relative activity. You can only tune a guitar when you hear the “proper pitch” of the original note. You may not be a musician but you can tell when musical instruments are out of tune and when they are in tune by just listening. Many things are happening in our lives but we are not listening. I pray that you will set out time to listen to what God is saying concerning this day, this month, and this year in Jesus Name. God has a lot to say but you have to listen.

So stop blaming and start listening. Many of us are not listening to our spouses. Some husbands are not listening to their wives. Your wife has only been talking to you for three minutes but you have dozed off. When you are not dozing off on her, you are reading the newspaper or your attention is tuned to soccer. Some husbands even pretend to listen but they are not actually listening. Some wives are also not listening to their husbands. The man is pouring out his heart to you and instead of listening you are thinking of what to say to him.

There are parents that are not listening to their children and children that are not listening to their parents. For some of us, our businesses are speaking to us; they are speaking and we need to listen. Even the firmaments are speaking. “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge” [NKJV] “They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world” [NLT] Ps.19:1-4. Even though the sun is not shouting, it is speaking. What are you listening to? What are you supposed to be listening to? You can tune your life easily by just listening.

Prayer: Lord, teach me to step aside and be alone with You. I ask that you give me a listening heart, in Jesus Name

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...
