Hearing God: Inner Witness

Hearing God is an ability that every believer longs for, but very few have. People get interested whenever they hear anyone sharing a formula about hearing God. As much as we long to hear God, we may just be blocking our ears with a little thing.

I got my breakthrough in this when I read Romans 12:6 in NLT version. It dawned on me that my hearing God is based on how much I believe that it is God that is speaking to me. So, I began to take the impressions in my heart seriously, believing that it is God that put the impression there.

Since then, I have seen a tremendous growth in how much I hear God. Often times, we look for God in the spectacular things like prophecy, dream, vision, trance or through another christian. There is nothing wrong with all that, but you must know that the still small voice within you carry a lot of weight.

We often discard and disobey the still small voice and we long to have dreams. That's wrong. You don't have to sleep before God can speak to you. The weight of inner witness and/or still small voice is mighty and we must treat it as heavily as we treat prophecy or dream.

I once read a Rick Warren's material on Hearing God where he confessed that he still have issues sometimes about deciphering whether it is God that is speaking to him or not. Keith Moore, in his own material about this same topic said that the more you yield to the still small voice, the more you will be hearing the voice and the more you will have more confidence that your spiritual ears are opened.

I urge you to begin to take the impressions of your heart seriously. Don't trivialize it. God speaks!

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty. It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

Nine Years As A Scribe

So, last night, I was meditating about the things that God is doing in this times and it dawned on me that we are in a period where our minds are being bombarded with images, video and text. We are in the greatest period of media height. Everywhere you turn, you see something waiting for your mind to feed on. You're not free at any point in time from the floods coming from the various platforms. Majority of the contents in recent years are immoral and the cry for biblically sound and creative content has been going on for some years. Thank God for the success that we have recorded in the past few years. The media is being used to project several images into our minds. I did a small social experiment last month. I was speaking to a group of young boys in a school about Bobrisky. I asked how many of them would like to be like him and no one raised hand. Then I changed the question and said that if I tell you that I would give you 1 million every month and all I want from you is to be...
