Can you perceive the times?

-

And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, (Isaiah 6:9-11 KJV). 

The senses of a man are to make him aware of his environment, flee from danger, know the right path to take so that he will not be destroyed! Hence, a sign of a person/family/community/church/nation about to be ruined or wasted is when the senses do not function properly!!! 


When I was getting ready to go to a fellowship today, this verse came into my spirit and I checked it out! I was looking for a prayer point but these verses scared me! 

In the verse above, one can see that though these people can hear but they do not understand what they heard; they can see but do not perceive! Think about this! Is this me or you? The verses goes further to say - make the hearts of these people fat and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed!!! 

Lord have mercy! I pray that you and I will be shown mercy by God so that we will not be destroyed! 

What are the things that are making our heart fat? You see, when we fail to pursue God, we pursue the things of the world and we acquire all the junk that it brings and so our hearts become fat with all the filthiness of the things of this world and so it becomes hard to seek God or perceive him! 

What makes our ears heavy? The news, media, bad company, when we listen to things that do not edify etc. Think about it! What are you exposing yourself to? 
And finally, the verse says shut their eyes lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ear and understand with their heart!!! 

Have you been warned several times to change your ways but you never hid to their warnings? This could be the state of your spiritual senses! So what do we do knowing these things? We repent and seek the face of God so that we will not be wasted!!! Seek God's face today, time is running out!!!

      Hi, welcome to 2017! It's our year of walking with the Lord, a year you seek God like never before. I believe it's a year we need to go back to the very basics of quality time of fellowship with God. It's a year to make every effort to draw close to God no matter what you're going through.   There's just one little advice we need to adhere to; pls keep king Jesus in your boat this year. There might be storm and heavy wind but Jesus will calm it all because these elements obey him. It's a pleasure to have you take time out to visit my blog.  In here, you'll read articles that are thought provoking and life changing if you're humble enough to learn. So remember to follow this blog so that you can be notified of any future posts. So sit back and invest in yourself as you browse through these pages! Enjoy!!!

What is your identity?

Hello there, this question popped up in my head while I was going through life journey. In this life many things define many people, things like money, family name and inheritance, marital status (does your marriage define you?) becoming a parent (does your children define who you are), the colour of your skin and on and on the list goes. The question is if you're stripped of all of these things, would you still have an identity?

Do men really know what they are getting themselves into when they say they want to get married?

Come on people, let's talk! You know while watching Bisi Olatilo show, I saw people dancing and celebrating as a man and a woman were joined together in holy matrimony! People congratulated them, they both danced and you know during the traditional engagement - they told the man to wave bye bye to all the single ladies! I wish that was easy as it looked!!!! Hmmm! You know from my own experience; if you've ever been privileged to do the traditional engagement you'll discover that everything you do there is symbolical of the virtues you need to embrace in marriage! Think about it! So back to the men - have you discovered that most marriage troubles stem from the man?
