Knowing II

By
(Eph 3:10) “God’s intent is that through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known...”

Test #2 for recognizing Gods voice is: Does my church family confirm this? God wants us to connect to each other. The people that usually get into trouble, are the people who do not want to have anything to do with other people. They feel they are better than everyone else so they do not want people in their business. God did not design us to be silos. God designed us for community.

(Proverbs 11:9) “ The wisdom of the righteous can save you.” The correction or guidance you get at your life group meeting can change your life. The wisdom of your friend in church can save you. When you talk to the ministers and pastors, their vision can give you that breakthrough you have been praying for for twenty years.

Speaking to mature Christians is so indispensable because if you speak to immature Christians you will have a lot of problems. Ask Joseph; he told immature Christians [his brothers and the brethren], about his visions. Scripture records that the brethren threw him in the pit; they were going to kill him. Joseph should have spoken to the mature Christian in the house, his father, who would have kept it in his heart. God wants you to find a group of people you can be accountable to. You are not designed to do life by yourself. Lone-ranger Christians easily slip into error.

Think about it; if mature believers question what you think you have from God, shouldn’t you question it? I am not saying you should throw it away but step back and take another look. If you don’t, you are putting yourself on a wrong lane. We should always be willing to be corrected. We should always be willing to receive evaluation. You cannot be an island, God has put you on earth and He has put people around you for a reason.

(John 7:17) “Anyone who wants to do God’s will can test this teaching and know whether it's from God or whether I'm making it up” [with emphasis]. Even Jesus allowed His message to be tested. Jesus was basically saying, ‘If you are connected with God, check and you will be able to tell if my teaching is accurate’. Why then do we think we are all that? The first thing the devil does with people he wants to destroy is to isolate them.


Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me stay connected to my church family and connected to Your heart, in Jesus Name. Amen!

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 ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

By
Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
