Will You?

By
Hab 2:3 But these things I plan won't happen right away.  Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled.  If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place.  It will not be delayed.” [with emphasis]

Now that we have gotten rid of the challenges to fine tuning, we will turn our focus to fine-tuning and learn how to fine-tune from two prophets in the Bible - Habakkuk in the Old Testament and John the Baptist in the New Testament. Please read Luke 3:1-2 and Habakkuk 2:1-3. With God’s plans and promises, sometimes it appears as if God is slow. But God assures us that even if it appears to be slow, the only thing we are to do is to wait for it.
“Slow… will not be delayed”- is that a contradiction? Yes, God uses contradictions but still He assures you and I that steadily and surely, it will come to pass.

I do not know what you are trusting God for this season but I am here to say to you, it is going to come to pass. I have been following Jesus for over twenty years now and I can confidently tell you that God is reliable; totally reliable. He may appear slow but follow Jesus. By the time He turns around the captivity, you would be like them that dream. And the waiting period would seem totally insignificant. Wait on the Lord. We are going to be learning six things from these two prophets about fine-tuning to the Holy Spirit.

Lesson #1: I must want to hear God. I must desire to hear God’s voice and to do His will. Habakkuk said, “I will climb up…”. John the Baptist left the normal human settlement and went into the wilderness. Such moves are born out of a desire. You will not hear God unless you really want to hear God. David says in Psalm 85:8 [GW], ““I want to hear what God the Lord says…”  [with emphasis].

But it actually goes beyond hearing God to wanting to obey God. Psa.40:8 [NCV] “My God, I want to do what You want.” In the areas of life where you appear to be in a fix or you are experiencing a dilemma, whose will do you really want, your will or God’s will? God always speaks to people that decide in advance to obey Him. Psa.119:20 “What I want most of all and at all times is to honor Your laws.” [CEV, with emphasis]. This means that for those who hear God speak, the Words He says are not an option. Do them!

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that You are reliable. I want to hear Your voice, Lord and I ask for the grace to do Your Words as You speak, in Jesus Name. Amen!

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 ...
