The Supernaturals 22

By

Hello everyone, I welcome you in the name of Him who died and rose triumphantly on the third day, Jesus the Son of God to another session in this series. We are still looking at the HOWS OF SUPERNATURALS. Today, I will talk on WAITING ON GOD.

Is.  40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
  40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
  40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
  40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
 Topics like WAITING ON GOD, ABIDING IN HIS PRESENCE, etc are uncommon in our nowadays churches especially with our Jehovah Sharp sharp mindset. In these days where there is a lot of lightness, looseness and reduction in concentration and thickness, it takes a deliberate effort to stay put to pay the price for any desired level in God.
There is such a thing called WAITING ON GOD. There is something called ABIDING IN HIS PRESENCE.
Psa  91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Waiting on God means holding on tight, hoping with expectation and trust on God knowing fully well that He will show up.
It complete a dependence on God and a willingness to allow Him to decide the terms. Many times, we pray this half-joking prayer, 'Lord I need patience and I need it now'.
Waiting on God produce character in our lives in that it involves patience. James 1:4, ROM.5:5.
It involves being at rest in the Lord.
Heb  4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest...
 Isa  28:16 says Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
It is ceasing from personal agenda or ingenuity. Not waiting on God can get you into trouble. Abraham and Sarah are a case study. Zeal must be in alignment with God's Word in the NOW.
Waiting on God doesn't mean to sit idly rather, our actions and attitude should be as of those of a waiter, anticipating and meeting God's request. It is filling our time with service to the master, always on our feet, ready to respond to Him.
It is to be near Him and attentive so that we may catch the slightest glimpse of what He has to say.
Hab.  2:1says I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
We were first called to BE WITH HIM. Ministry is a secondary priority. Mk. 3:14.
Our strengths will be renewed, our hearts are responsive to God's word and a patience rooted in faith is built. Be it known unto you that the strength you get from this WAITING is directly proportional to the quantity and quality of time spent in the Secret place. When you wait, you will discover that you haven't lost time, rather you have gained time. The sacrifice is worth it. Don't be entangled with the spirit of busyness that is at work in this time. The time spent in prayers, Studying God's Word and listening/paying attention to what He has to say(for He  speaks) are going to be gained back. Godliness is profitable IN ALL THINGS.
 1Tim.  4:8   For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
I rest my case for now. Tomorrow is another day.

Prayer of Enquiry

By
PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

By
We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

By
Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
