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!

Can You See Islam Imploding?

Islam has taken a major stage in the world today, with many western nations trying to find their feet in the face of millions of immigrants from Islamic nations. Several European countries are losing their own culture as the Islamic wave is taking over their lands already. While in Africa, nations are embroiled in Islam related conflicts that is claiming lives in millions. In many places, Muslims have become citizens and are beginning to contest for political offices. The current mayor of London is a Muslim. Same with the current mayor of New York. Scotland already had a Muslim PM. You see, there is no issue with a Muslim becoming a political leader other than the fact that true Muslims are territorial; their religion teaches them that the religion of the ruler is the religion of the land. Is this Islamophobia? Wait. What is Islamophobia? Why should anyone be Islamophobic? Is it because terrorists are Muslims? Or because Muslims threaten to slaughter anyone who slanders their religion?...

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 ...

Why Is Cindy Jacobs Important?

Few days ago, I was having a discussion with a prophetess about the depths of the dimensions of God in the life of Cindy Jacobs. I was telling her about some stories about her ministry and how her works has vibrated through several nations. Two days later, I got a notification that she would be coming to Nigeria! I was shocked. I reached out to the prophetess and she confirmed to me that it is not a coincidence that we were discussing about her few days ago and now, she is coming into our territory. Now, we know that fame is not necessarily the signature of God upon an individual or movement, but because the church is structured in a body pattern, we have several dimensions of God flowing through and we are called to carry and steward specific dimensions. It is important to know the dimensions of God you are called to carry and it is also important to know those who carry this same dimension so that you can learn about the possibilities of God through you. I am singling out Cindy ...
