He Still Speaks!

He still speaks!

As the new year rolls in, one thing we can't take for granted is the place of Divine direction. It is evident in our time in this time of the year to see many running around looking for who will Prophesy or see visions for them. Some are busy either checking up with big preachers in town or their pastor or "papa/mama" (as is the slogan these days) for special Revelations or prophecy for the year. In all truthfulness, this is good in itself because it's a sign that we submit and honour the men that God has placed over our lives and are humble enough to seek guidance.

"Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper". 
(2 Chron 20:20)

Inasmuch as this is good and to be desired, it must not be used as a substitute or a replacement to hearing personally from him.

"God, who at a sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, [2] Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"
(Hebrews 1:1-2)

Despite the numerious leaders, prophets and fathers in the land, God is very much committed to speaking to us personally. He said in the last days he shall speak to us "through his son". This is a statement of sonship. A father/son intimate communication channel generated by relationship. There is a communication reserved for those who will appropriate this position of sonship in their lives. A communication mode for those who have prioritised this relationship. One of the proofs that you walk with God in the times we live in is that he (by his spirit) communicates with you frequently. Brethren, I want to announce to you that the manual you need to run with this year is easily accessible from the father. Sons who can explore the resources available consequent on the basis of their connection to the father can recieve clearly the mandate for their lives for the times now and ahead. Are you a son or a vagabond?

He still speaks today!

"And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left" (Isaiah 30:21)

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of f himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. [14] He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of g mine, and shall shew h it unto you". (John 16:13-14)

One of the blessings of relationship is the privilege of communication. As a matter of fact, It cannot be called "fellowship" if two parties are not involved. The secret place is a room of whispers. A room that affords us the communication platform between us and heaven. And if there's one thing the father desires above all else to do, it is to set forth his word by the Holyspirit in our hearts. When he speaks the following things happen....

1. Darkness is dispelled. 

His word is light. No matter how much confusion has set in on our hearts and minds, the entrance if his word brings light. His Word is the only antidote for darkness. 

"Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out." (Job 41:19). 

His word has the capacity to generate lamps and release Sparks. With his word, one cannot walk in darkness. 

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path". (Psalm 119:105). 

This verse reveals the two-fold working dimension of his word. 
A. It is a lamp to our feet and
B. A light to our paths.

Our feet is the first ministry of the lamp. Pls Note that the lamp is not the light, rather it is the carrier of the light. This refers to the this ministry of the Holyspirit in our lives. Meaning that his first assignment in our lives is (to as a matter of priority) reveal to our standing with God which is symbolised by our "feet". It is when he is a lamp to our feet that his light can then shine on our paths. If your standing with God as a believer is not affirmed you may likely not receive light. Because where we stand is more important to God than where we are going. If our standing with God is wrong, it automatically means that our paths will not be fruitful. It means that our end will be unfavourable to him. The lamp is there to first correct our feet and when this is done, then light shines on our paths. 

This verse is a prayer guide for those that desire to walk in the light....
"For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness". (Psalm 18:28)

When he speaks;

2. Fear disappears. 

In these uncertain times, whereby it is more reasonable to live in fear than in faith. Where it seems that the society and the environment offers no respite but rather fosters an inhumane face. This is the more reason why we need to hide in his revealed word. 

"Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. [4] One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple". (Psalm 27:3-4)

From the above, there are only 2 spiritual pillars to our confidence as mentioned in vs 4, they are, beholding the beauty of the Lord and also enquiring in his temple. When you enquire, he answers. And when he does, it will definitely dispel fear. What is it that you are afraid of this year? As you hear him, Fear shall no longer have Dominion over you anymore. 

And lastly, when He speaks;

3. Strenght is released.

"And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. [2] And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me". (Ezekiel 2:1-2)

Physical Strenght is needed when a man engages in activities physically related. But for spiritual purposes, only spiritual Strenght can accomplish spiritual results. Pls note! "One word from God can take you far". You don't need too many things brethren. What we need is just one word from his mouth. Strength is one major resource we receive from the revelation of his word. When last did you hear him. Your spiritual status today is critically related to the resources recieved as a result of his current voice in your spirit man. Are you exhausted and garnished or are you bouyant and recharged, check the last time you clearly heard from him. Jesus desired accuracy in fulfilling his earthly calling that he related his secret to the voice of his father (John5:30)

So what is expected of Us?

Seek him like you have never done before.
Hunger for his word passionately
Pursue the word of his mouth as the only remedy to success in life. 

It is accessible!

Only sons access the whispers of the father. Enter inro the presence of your father and seek to hear him. Don't relent or take it with levity. Even as you read this now, he is desirous to speak to you. No relationship, No communication. There's a lot he wants to tell you about your destiny and the path of it's fulfilment this year. There's a lot he wants to let you know concerning the world around you and wisdom to navigate. There's a lot he wants to confide in you relating to what he wants to do next viz-a-viz with you as a partner in the kingdom business. Whispers to strengthen your faith and give you hope in every hopeless situation. And most especially whispers that affirm your sonship. 

Don't remain outside. You are not a servant. Stop running from pillar to post seeking for guidance. The son is very much available to us today. We have access by his Spirit in us to download deliverables in the spirit realm  that will set us on the path to an accurate delivery of our ministry here on Earth and all related assignments. I see you succeed and be fulfilled in this new year in Jesus glorious name, Amen. 

He is still speaking today. Do you hear him? 

Speak Lord, and your servant will obey.
