HOW TO GET GOD’S ATTENTION

Matthew_6-33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Isaiah_55-6: Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

2-Chronicles_7-14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land

TEXT: 2 Kings 3: 14-16.

 
INTRODUCTION:

Laziness and ignorance of what to do are the reasons why many people could not get God’s attention to release to them what they need. The one who fails to pay the price to hear the word that can change his or her life may face a spiritual famine. If God is not willing to speak, but you are desperate enough, you can do certain things to get His attention.

 
WHAT TO DO TO GET GOD’S ATTENTION

 
i. Worship Him in truth and spirit. Jn.4: 23-24; 2 Kgs.3: 14-16; Acts.16: 25-26; Ps.22: 3.

 
ii. Please Him by winning souls to Him. Jn.15: 16

 
iii. Give sacrificially. Gen.22: 1-18; 1 Kgs.17: 8-16; 2 Kgs.4: 8-17; 2 Chro.1: 6-12.

 
iv. Please Him in faith. Heb.11: 6; Hab.2: 4; Rom.1: 17; Gal.3: 11; Heb.10: 38. Believe the word and do it. Jam.1: 22-25.

 
v. Please Him in holiness. (Obedience). Isa.3: 10; Ps.37: 25; Ps.34: 17-19.

 
CONCLUSION:

Think of what you can do to get God’s attention and do it. You can get God’s attention if you pay the price.

Thank You Jesus.

Hebrews_11-6: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him

Proverbs_16-7: When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him

Justification

Romans_5-1: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Text
Romans 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

 
What Is Justification?
Justification is God’s act of removing the guilt and penalty of sin while at the same time declaring a sinner righteous through Christ’s atoning sacrifice.

What Gives Us The Assurance That We Are Saved? We Are Born Again Christians?

Romans 10:9-13
9 For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.

11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who believes in him will not be disappointed.”

12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They all have the same Lord, who generously gives his riches to all who ask for them.

13 For “Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

 
Introduction:
Many people confuse justification with forgiveness. They are two different things.
Justification is more than forgiveness.
To justify means to declare righteous. The law and justice of God demands death as the penalty of sin, but the mercy of God rescue sinners from death.

Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN JUSTIFICATION?
1. The first one is that not only is the sin forgiven, but also the guilt and punishment of that sin is removed far from the sinner.

Micah 7:18-19
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

2. The second one is that the perfect and righteousness of God is given to the sinner through faith in Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:22
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference.

HOW CAN YOU RECEIVE JUSTIFICATION?
1. Have faith and believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for your sins.

Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

2. Cry to the Lord for mercy. Therefore, if you want to be justified believe that Jesus Christ died for you and call on God to be merciful on you, a miserable sinner.

Luke 18:13-14.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Conclusion:
While sin condemns, Christ justifies and sets free.

Thank You Jesus.

John_3-17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved

Romans_8-1:There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit

CARNALITY

1-Corinthians_6-20: For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

1-Corinthians_6-19: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own

TEXT: Romans 8: 5-8.

 
INTRODUCTION:

Carnality causes spiritual drought. How to know a carnal Christian is our focus today? May God deliver us from all forms of carnality.

 
MARKS OF CARNALITY.

 
A carnal Christian has the following characteristics:

 
i. He or she is mostly concerned with things that will gratify the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and pride of life.

 
ii. He or she is not truly interested in the things of the spirit.

 
iii. He is never far from sin.

 
iv. Enjoys anything that will feed his ego.

 
v. Enjoys doing good for others to see and praise him.

 
vi. Loves the world and its worldly system. 1Jn.2: 15-17.

 
vii. Sees nothing wrong with exposing her body to create lust in the hearts of men and compel them to do her bidding.

 
viii. Does not see anything wrong in cheating in the examination hall as long as success is achieved.

 
ix. He is one who has refused to grow. 1Cor.3: 1-4.

 
x. He is satisfied with being just a member of the church; he refuses to take steps to become a worker. He is a perpetual babe.

 
xi. He cannot accept the doctrine of restitution and cannot forgive those who wronged him.

 
xii. Engages in envy, strife and divisions.

CONCLUSION:

A carnal man or woman is in opposition to God and therefore he or she is inviting death. If you have been carnal, your spirit cannot hear from God, hence, spiritual famine will set in. therefore break away from every act of carnality today.

Thank You Jesus.

PARTIAL OBEDIENCE

Galatians_3-13-1: Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree

Romans_6-14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

TEXT: 1 Samuel 15: 1-23.

 
INTRODUCTION:

Partial obedience means incomplete obedience to the instructions of God. It also means toying with divine instructions. 1Sam.13: 1-14; 1Sam.15: 1-23. It is synonymous with disobedience.

 
Disobedience is in the same class with rebellion, witchcraft, stubbornness and idolatry. 1 Sam.15: 22-23. It is a sin which God does not tolerate.

 
THOSE WHO DISOBEY GOD

 
Those who disobey God have problems of submitting to divine authority, and impatience – they see God as too slow or late for them. 1Sam.13: 1-14. They tend to think that they know more than God and they lack obedient heart. Another thing about them is that they see no difference between the word of God and that of men e.g. King Saul. 1Sam.13: 1-14; 1Sam.15: 1-23.

THE PENALTY

 
The penalty for partial obedience (disobedience) includes:

 
– It leads to rejection and loss of crown e.g. King Saul.

 
– It attracts curses. Deut.11: 28; Dan.9: 16.

 
– Disobedience is fighting God. Such battle can never be won. Numb.20: 10-12.

 
– It leads to death. 1 Sam.15:3-9.

 
– It opens door to spiritual famine.

 
CONCLUSION:

If your obedience to God’s instructions has been partial or incomplete, confess, repent and restitute so that you can escape God’s judgment.

Thank You Jesus.

PULL DOWN EVERY IDOL TODAY

Matthew_6-24: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon

TEXT:

Amos 8: 14

Exodus 20: 1-6.

INTRODUCTION:

Idolatry is forbidden by God. Isa.42: 8; 1Jn.5: 21. An idol in your heart is something other than God which takes the first place in your priorities. Even legitimate things such as work, business ventures or academic pursuit could take the centre stage of our lives if we are not watchful and prayerful.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF IDOLATRY
1. Idolatry moves God to jealousy. Exod.20: 1-6; 1Kgs.11: 1-11.
2. It makes God to withdraw so that you could be given a chance to see the futility of serving other gods you have chosen.

1. It could also lead to irreparable loss. Amos 8: 14.

2. It is one of the major causes of spiritual dryness.

3. God is forced to withdraw His grace, and this may lead to failure and disappointment.

CONCLUSION: It is wisdom to reserve your heart only for the King of kings. Therefore pull down every idol today.

Thank You Jesus.

NEGLECT OF THE WORD OF GOD

Psalms_119-105: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path

Psalms_119-11: Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

TEXT: Joshua 1: 8

Psalm 1: 1-3

 
INTRODUCTION: The word of God will prevent you from going unto spiritual famine – lack of divine direction.

 
Hearing, reading, studying, memorizing and meditating will assist you to grasp the word of God.

 
THE WORD OF GOD
The Word of God is food for the soul. Deut.8: 3; Job.23: 12; Jer.15: 16; 1Pet.2: 2;

divinely inspired and profitable for instruction. 2Tim.3: 16;

the word must dwell richly in your hearts. Ps.119: 11; Col.3; 16;

gives light in darkness, Ps.119: 105-130 and mighty in its influence. Jer.5: 14; Ezek.37: 7; Heb.4: 12

 
THE NEGLECT OF THE WORD OF GOD
That is spending little or no time with your Bible and substituting participation in digging deep (Bible study) Sunday school and House fellowship programme with other things will open door to spiritual famine. Jos.1: 8; Ps.1: 1-3.

 
CONCLUSION: The fellow who has a close contact with the Bible will not be far from receiving from God in the time of need. Do you make time to study your Bible regularly?

Thank You Jesus.

2-Timothy_2-15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

CAUSES OF SPIRITUAL FAMINE

Isaiah_44-3: For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring

TEXT: Proverbs 26: 2.

 
INTRODUCTION:

Famine does not just come; they are the product of some infringement, neglect of necessary duty, or some act of disobedience. Likely causes of spiritual drought includes: Oppression; Idolatry; Little or no time for the Word of God; Partial obedience; Carnality; Lack of fellowship; Over familiarity with God and His Word and inability to provoke God for the required word. We shall begin a series on what causes spiritual famine with a study on Oppression of the poor. May God teach and bless us in Jesus’ name.

 
OPPRESSION THE POOR

 
God has a great concern for the poor and will fight their course. Therefore, anyone who oppresses them may have God to contend with; Lev.19: 9-10; Deut.15: 11; Ps.12: 5; Ps.34: 6; Prov.14: 31.

Oppression of the poor will result in unanswered prayers. Zech.7: 10-14;

block channels of communication between a believer and God. Amos 8: 4-12 and could erode the grace needed to operate some spiritual gifts.

 
CONCLUSION: Check your life and see those you have been oppressing, particularly fellow believers, repent and restitute.

Thank You Jesus.

SPIRITUAL FAMINE

Isaiah_44-3: For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring

TEXT: 1 Samuel 28: 3-7

 
INTRODUCTION:

There are three major types of famine – economic famine; spiritual famine; a combination of both. A victim of economic famine usually lacks food and drink or other means of physical survival. But one suffering from spiritual famine may not be easily identified until he or she takes a wrong step and ends up at a wrong destination.

 
SIGNS OF SPIRITUAL FAMINE

 
– The Word meant for your spiritual sustenance becomes very scarce. You could hear God’s voice before but He no longer speaks to you today. Amos 8: 11

 
– You cannot access divine direction

 
– Your soul is starved while your spirit man becomes lean.

 
– Separated from the true Helper – the Almighty God, and becomes easy prey to the enemy.

 
– The spiritual sensitivity is very low.

 
– No spiritual energy to run the Christian race and no desire to handle kingdom assignments.

 
– An example of spiritual famine was King Saul. 1Sam.28: 6

 
CONCLUSION:

If these signs describe your situation, do not go to Satan for guidance or direction as doing this will worsen the already bad situation. Go back to God in humility, repentance and restitution. Avoid what led you into this experience.

Thank You Jesus.

WHY MUST YOU CONTINUE TO SHINE?

Matthew_5-16: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven

Isaiah_60-1: Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee

TEXT: Matthew 5: 13-16.

 
INTRODUCTION:

If light refuses to shine, it ceases to carry out the original purpose for which it is meant. If light cannot shine again, it becomes irrelevant and useless.

 
BENEFITS OF SHINING

 
i. Your life affects others regularly and positively as you keep shining. Col.4: 5-6; Isa.60: 3; Phil.2: 15.

 
ii. You become a terror to the kingdom of darkness. e.g. Elijah, Elisha, Paul etc. Eph.5: 8-14.

 
iii. Boldness becomes a life style. Light is not afraid of darkness. Fear is associated with darkness. Prov.28: 1; Acts.4: 13; Acts.19: 8; 2Tim.1: 7

 
DANGER OF NOT SHINING

 
i. Backsliding. Matt.26: 58-74; 2Tim.4: 10

 
ii. Spiritual and physical death. Saul’s light became darkness because of disobedience. 1Sam.28: 3-7, Samson experienced spiritual death and later physical death. Judges 16: 20-30.

 
CONCLUSION:

Do not allow your light to go out as it may never be regained.

Thank You Jesus.

Matthew_5-16: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven

Matthew_5-14: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid, I Am The Light Of The World

John_8-12: Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life

HOW DO YOU SHINE?

Matthew_5-16: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven

Isaiah_60-1: Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee

TEXT: Matthew 5: 13-16.

 
INTRODUCTION:

There is no other better time for you to shine than now. Light shines more in the midst of darkness, the presence of light brings joy to the environment, the glory of God has risen upon you, and light keeps darkness far away. But then, the question is how do you shine?

 
WHAT YOU MUST DO TO SHINE?

 
(i) Keep connected to your source of supply.

Every light that shines has a source. If it is cut off from the source, it cannot shine. Jn.15: 4-5; 1Sam.16: 14; 1Sam.17: 11.

 
(ii) Constantly doing good works. Matt.5: 16; Acts.9: 36-40; Eph.2: 10; Col.1: 10; 1Tim.5: 10.

 
(iii) Keep renewing your lamp. Daily looking at yourself in the mirror of the word of God helps you to wake up. Matt.25: 1-11; Rom.12: 1-2; Ps.51: 11; Eph.4: 22-24; Titus 3: 5.

 
(iv) Keep preaching the gospel. Matt.24: 14. Continuous evangelism will help you live a holy life. 2 Cor.4: 6; 1Cor.11: 1.

 
(v) Avoid fellowship with darkness. Keep away from unclean things at all times. 2Cor.6: 14-18; 1Cor.15: 33; Isa.52: 11.

 
CONCLUSION:

Now that you know what will make you to shine, go ahead and ask for the grace to do them.

Thank You Jesus.

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE

Matthew_5-16: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven

 
TEXT: Matthew 5: 13-16.

 
INTRODUCTION:

It is a common characteristic for light to shine in the dark. Jesus Christ, who is the light of the world also called believers in Him the light of the world. We are expected to resemble Him. Jn.1: 5.

 
WHY MUST YOU SHINE NOW?
1. Light shines more in the midst of darkness. Matt.4: 16; Lk.7: 11-16.

 
2. The presence of light brings joy to the environment. The early disciples took the gospel (Christ) to nations around them. Acts.8: 5-8.

 
3. The glory of God has risen upon you. Isa.60: 1-2; Matt.26: 69-70; Acts.3: 13-26; Acts.5: 15.

 
4. Light keeps darkness far away. The more you shine the better for you and your environment. 1Pet.5: 8-9; Jam.4: 7; Lk.8: 16; Phil.2: 15.

 
CONCLUSION:

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in Heaven”.

Thank You Jesus.

Matthew_5-14: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid, I Am The Light Of The World

MOUNTAIN OF FIRE & MIRACLES MINISTRIES, February 2017, MFM, PMCH, Power Must Change Hands & MFM, PMCH 2017 First Fruit Offering Service

Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries’ (MFM) General Overseer, Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya

DEALING WITH THE POWERS OF MOLECH

Psalm 51:

Psalm 51King James Version (KJV)

51 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

Prayers:

1. Thank You, Lord for the efficacious blood of Jesus.

 
2. Spend quality time confessing your sin to the Lord and whatever led to it.

 
3. Father, forgive me for the horrible sin of abortion, which is murder, in the name of Jesus.

 
4. Father, forgive me for shedding innocent blood, in the name of Jesus.

 
5. Father, redeem me from guilt and cleanse the land of my life, in the name of Jesus.

 
6. My Father, have mercy on me and wash away my iniquity, in the name of Jesus.

 
7. Every blood, crying against me, from the grave, be silenced by the blood of Jesus, in Jesus’ name

 
8. O Lord, deliver me from blood guiltiness, in the name of Jesus.

 
9. Blood of Jesus, avail for me in this situation, in the name of Jesus.

 
10. My Father, let the blood of Jesus pacify the rage of the avenger of blood, in the name of Jesus.

 
11. I bind and cast out, every spirit of sexual perversion from my body organs, in the name of Jesus.

 
12. Every agenda of womb ritualists for my life, die, in the name of Jesus.

 
13. Lord, help me to bear the mental and emotional agony resulting from the abortion, in the name of Jesus.

 
14. O Lord, I cry unto You for restoration. Restore me, in the name of Jesus.

 
15. Lord, help me to overcome this and remove the consequences by Your mercy, in Jesus’ name.

 
16. By Your grace and mercy, Lord, extend Your forgiveness to me, in the name of Jesus.

 
17. Father, release me from the bondage this sin has caused, in the name of Jesus.

 
18. Please, Lord, help me to forgive myself, in the name of Jesus.

 
19. O Lord, comfort me and cover my loss with Your holy presence, in the name of Jesus.

 
20. My Father, arise and restore what I had destroyed, in the name of Jesus.

 
21. Father, cleanse me from all sins and restore my lost confidence, in the name of Jesus.

 
22. Father, speak against the terror in my heart and give me peace that is beyond understanding, in the name of Jesus.

 
23. I break the curses of shedding innocent blood off my family and my descendants, in the name of Jesus.

 
24. Father, instruct me and help me to correct my life and bring it under Your subjection, in the name of Jesus.

 
25. I come against all dark authorities who controlled and motivated me to commit this sin, in the name of Jesus.

 
26. I claim freedom and cleansing in the areas of sexual sin, in the name of Jesus.

 
27. I break soul ties with men or women I have had sexual relationships with, in the name of Jesus.

Thank You Jesus.

PRAYERS JUST BEFORE GIVING YOUR 1ST FRUIT OFFERING

Lift up the offering and pray like this:

“Father, I thank You, for giving me the opportunity, the strength and the wisdom to acquire this seed. I recognise and worship You with this offering as the only source of all my income. I thank You because once I was lost, but now I’m found. I thank You for the salvation of my soul.

As I give this first fruit offering now, accept it, O Lord, by the power in the blood of Jesus. By this offering, I hereby acknowledge that You are my priority. O God, arise and use this offering as a key to my increase, enlargement, promotion, and uncommon favour. By this offering, let the power of the wasters be destroyed from my life, and deliver me from losses of any kind, and envelope my life with blessings money cannot buy.

By this offering, I plug myself into the socket of financial open heaven, uncommon breakthroughs, dominion, prosperity, uncommon favour, unimaginable achievements, and total victory, in the name of Jesus.

As I give this 1st fruit offering, let its sanctifying power flow down into all my other incomes. O Lord, catapult me into Your divine location, position, anointing and wisdom for my life. Let the milk and honey of the earth be deposited into my bosom.

This I pray, in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”

Thank You Jesus.

Understanding The Time

Ecclesiastes_3-1: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven

Genesis_8-22: While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease

TEXT: Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8.

 
INTRODUCTION: Our God is a God of orderliness. There is time for everything and He has made everything beautiful in His time.

 
UNDERSTANDING THE TIME

 
Time is a resource we must give account of. From birth to death is a series of time events which must be accounted for before the Almighty God. Every circle of life: Childhood, adolescence and maturity will be accounted for. In each of the life-cycle are various responsibilities which God places on us. Since there was a time of birth, for everyone there must be a time of death also. We must, therefore, understand times and use them appropriately before it expires.

We must work at the time of work or rest at the time of rest.

Eccl.3: 1-8

1 Chro.12: 32.

We must work with the time since time does not wait for anybody. We must set goals to be accomplished within specified time limit and be focused.

Heb.2: 2

Jn.9: 4

CONCLUSION: Since God created time, it is best to use our times for Him.

Thank You Jesus.

Identifying The Voice Of God

Revelation_3-20: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Matthew_3-17-1: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased

TEXT: Jonah 1: 1-3.

 
INTRODUCTION: Today, we will learn how to differentiate between God’s voice and that of the devil; and we will tell us some reasons why people find it difficult to obey the voice of God even when they are sure it was God speaking to them.

 
HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE GOD’S VOICE FROM THAT OF THE DEVIL?

 
It is essential to know whether you are hearing God or a particular message is from the devil with the intention of misleading you or distracting your attention. Whenever God sends us a message or speaks to us, such a message will

(i) agree with the Holy Scriptures. Jonah 2: 1-2; Matt.4: 1-11; 2 Tim.3: 16-17; Ps.119: 11; Rom.15: 4; 1 Jn.5: 3.

 
(ii) You will have peace within

(iii) God could use other means of revelation to confirm or warn you. Rom.8: 14.

 
WHY DO PEOPLE DISOBEY THE VOICE OF GOD?
Even when people are really sure that God is the one speaking to them, they could still resist His will and refuse to carry out His injunctions. Some of the reasons why people disobey God may include:

 
(i) The love of earthly rewards. Numbers 22: 9-13, 2 Pet.2: 15.

 
(ii) Fear. 1 Samuel 15: 1-3, 1 Samuel 9, 1 Samuel 13-15, 1 Samuel 22.

 
(iii) Non-agreement with their expectation. Jonah 1: 1-3;  Jonah 4: 1-2; Acts.10: 9-16.

You may add to this list.

 
CONCLUSION: Obedience is better than sacrifice.

Thank You Jesus.

Matthew_3-17-1: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased

John_5-28: Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
