I am sent today to deliver a very important message to you.So, please pay very close attention to it and your life and situations will never remain the same in Christ in this World after now. True!
Now, Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:8,9 revealed to us that there are four (4) spiritual acts of getting the Word of God or things of God into our HEAD:
1. By LEARNING.
2. By RECEIVING.
3. By HEARING.
4. By SEEING.
However, what is interesting for us to know and note is that the above four (4) spiritual acts ONLY gets the Word of God or things of God (that are honest, just, pure, lovely and good report in the sight and side of God) into our HEAD (mind) to THINK, so that the GOD of PEACE can be with us. True! They (learning, receiving, heard and seeing) CANNOT get the Word of God or things of God into our HEART (spirit man) to SINK IN in such a way that the Word of God or things of God can become truly CLEARER enough to us to produce strong FAITH in us that can produce divine RESULTS in our life and situations in this World. True! Take note, take heed! Colossians: 3. 16.
And the Bible reveals that:
But as it is written, EYES had not SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, neither have ENTERED into the HEART of MAN, the things which God has PREPARED for them that love Him. But God had REVEALED them unto us by His SPIRIT: for the Spirit SEARCHES all things, yes, the DEEP things of God. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are FREELY GIVEN to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; COMPARING spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who had known the MIND of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we HAVE the mind of Christ. - Bible Offline (1 Corinthians 2: 9-16; John 16:13-15; 1 John 2:27; Romans 8:14,26-28).
So, you can see from the above scriptural reference that you and I have a sacred PERSONAL responsibility to GET the Word of God or the things of God (which are spiritual in nature) we have learnt, received, heard or seen by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within us INTO our HEART (spirit man) before they can BECOME our physical realities in our lives and situations in due time in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
Now the challenge or rather question is how do we GET the Word of God or things of God we have learnt, received, heard and seen into our HEART (spirit man) to produce strong FAITH and then divine RESULTS for us in due time?
It is only by one spiritual act we can truly getColossians: 3. 16. the Word of God or things of God we have learnt, received, heard and seen by Holy Spirit of Christ that is within us INTO our HEART (spirit man) and that is the spiritual act of MEDITATION (deep thinking and imagination). True! Take note, take heed!
I discovered that lots of genuine Christians do not take the spiritual act of MEDITATION (deep thinking and imagination) of the Word of God or things of God that they have learnt, received, heard or seen by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within them seriously to gain deeper and better UNDERSTANDING of and unshakable FAITH in the Word of God or things of God they have learnt, received, heard and seen by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within them. Unfortunately, this has made birthing or getting of divine RESULTS in due times in the lives and situations of many genuine Christians impossible in Christ in this World.True! So sad, so bad!
Even more disheartening is that LACK of MEDITATION (deep thinking and imagination) of the Word of God or things of God that believers in Christ have learnt, received, heard or seen by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within them which leads to LACK of UNDERSTANDING of the Word of God or things of God they have learnt, received, heard or seen by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within them is the primary reason for the.kind of ungodly CHRISTIANS and shameful CHRISTIANITY practice we have today. True! So sad, so bad!
Many Christians are so IGNORANT (lack understanding) spiritually to an extend of proudly REJECTING the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for their lives and situations knowingly or unknowingly. When I hear or see them my heart aches.True! So sad, so sad! (Hosea 4:6).
I tell you the truth, it is in conscious and consistent MEDITATION (deep thinking and imagination) of the Word of God or things of God that you have learnt, received, heard or seen by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you that you come to true UNDERSTANDING of God's intentions in Christ for your life and situations and then be able to passionately and persistently HOLD ON to the Word of God or things of God you have learnt, received, heard or seen until they become your realities par time in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
That is why King David exclaimed thus:
O how I LOVE your law! It is my MEDITATION all the day. (Psalm 119:97).
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the MEDITATION of my HEART shall be of UNDERSTANDING. (Psalm 49:3).
Let the words of my mouth, and the MEDITATION of my HEART, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm: 19. 14)
And that is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:
Let the WORD of CHRIST dwell in you RICHLY in all WISDOM; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your HEARTS to the Lord. And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Colossians 3: 16,17)
That is why God directed Joshua thus:
This book of the law shall NOT depart out of your mouth; but you shall MEDITATE therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make your way prosperous, and then you shalt have good success. (Joshua 1:8).
So, don't be deceived because practically speaking, until you day and night and long enough, MEDITATE (think and imagine deeply) the Word of God or things of God you have learnt, received or seen by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you coupled with you consciously and consistently CONFESSING IT and DOING ACCORDINGLY, you cannot make your way PROSPEROUS and you cannot have GOOD (Holy Spirit of Christ driven) SUCCESS in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
JESUS CHRIST in describing the four (4) ways we manage the Word of God or things of God we learnt, received, heard or seen by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within us said:
When any one HEARS the WORD of the kingdom, and UNDERSTAND it NOT, then comes the wicked one, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that HEARS the WORD, and with joy receives it; yet had he NOT ROOT in HIMSELF, but due for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that HEARS the WORD; and the CARE of this WORLD, and the DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that HEARS the WORD, and UNDERSTANDS IT; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. (Matthew 13:19-23).
Do you get it?
As I earlier wrote above, it is only through the spiritual act of MEDITATION (deep thinking and imagination), you come to true UNDERSTANDING of the Word of God or things of God you have learnt, received, heard or seen by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in Christ in this World, to produce divine FRUITS or RESULTS in your life and situations in due time in this World. True!
Therefore, as I am sent, I challenge you today to begin the spiritual act of MEDITATION (deep thinking and imagination) of the Word of God or things of God you have learnt, received, heard or seen by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you or from the Holy Spirit through other means (people, books, CDs,etc) and the Word of God will begin to BEAR FRUITS or BRING RESULTS in your life and situations in due time as revealed by Jesus Christ in the above scriptural reference. Yes, it will because the WORD of GOD is quick, powerful and sharper than two edged sword and the Lord is faithful and able to keep to His Word because He is not a man. Halleluyah! (Hebrews 4:12; Number 23:19; 1 Thessalonians 5:24).
Finally, always remember that your physical realities will par time be products of what you are truly and long enough MEDITATED on (deeply thought about and imagined). True! If its on the Word, Ways and Will of God, so will it be for you in due time. Likewise, if is on the news, ways, manners, traditions, cultures, principles and trends of the World, so shall it be for you in due time. It is garbage in, garbage out. It is input, output. It is what you sow, you reap. That is the way God designed and created us to manifest in this World. True! Take note, take heed! (1 John 2:15-17; Proverbs 23:7; Romans 12:1,2; Colossians 2:8-10; Galatians 6:7,8).
If you do not consciously and consistently LEARN the spiritual act of MEDITATION (deep thinking and imagination) of the Word of God or things of God that you have learnt, received, heard or seen by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you, you will so lack spiritual UNDERSTANDING or be so IGNORANT to an extend of REJECTING God's Word, Ways and Will in Christ for you in this World. Sadly that is state of majority of Christians and Churches of Christ today. True! So sad, so bad! Take note, take heed! (Romans 12:1,2; 1 Timothy 4:1-6; Isaiah 56:10-12).
Do have a good and great day.
God bless you.
