Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” Genesis 22:2Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— blessing I will bless you, and...
Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. Genesis 22:13When we are going through times or testing and still remain obedient to God’s word, chances are that we may find or see the lamb of God. When Stephen was persecuted, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. Stephen saw the Lamb of God and received a more profound (greater) and fresh revelation of...
Because somewhere we have lost our hunger and thirst to seek God and see His face. When we pursue God, we will get glimpses of Christ’s Glory, and in that light, we will be drawn to know him more, and our desire for the world and its things, like grass, will slowly fade away. The more we see and pursue God, the more we will see the Glory of Christ, and in that light our craving for earthly things will slowly fade away.We shall gradually lose...
When was the last time you met God? Moses met God on a daily basis. Jesus met Father God on a daily basis. Most Christians have not met God for many months or even in some cases years. They attend church and participate in events, but they do not have a place to meet with God on a daily basis.Met God means having a good conversation with God (for a long time) where you enjoy his company and he enjoys your company. Every time you meet God, your...
In 1 Kings 13, the young man of God from Judah had three distinct characteristics:1) A divine message – a word from God2) Power and authority to bring God's wrath (Its God’s power and authority)3) Ability to healIn this generation, many prophets and evangelists have the word from God and the power to heal, but very few have the power to show God's wrath. In the case of Ananias and Sapphira, Peter had the authority to bring God's wrath (Acts...
In this generation, there is so much of strange fire and incense burning on God’s altars. Because of this strange fire, people are living strange lives. There is no fruit of God’s Holiness that leads to Holy living. A person in sin continue live in sin in spite of coming to the church regularly. Repentance, reverence and fear of God are missing in the churches. In spite of many miracles, there is no fear of God or genuine repentance. This...
Most Christians in this generation know how to live in God's seasons, but don’t know how to survive God's off-seasons. In God's off-seasons, they become depressed, complain, murmur, question God, and even backslide. God's off-seasons are seasons where God is silent(towards our prayer requests) and does not perform any miracles. It can be a season of wilderness, correction, or preparation. It’s like 7-8 years where David was running from...
And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days Joel 2:28-29Why will this happen in the last days? It is because, through these dreams and visions, both young and old men will know and see Jesus on a daily basis....
So Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground. Genesis 18:3This is the first act or form of worship mentioned in the Bible. On seeing God, he immediately bowed himself to the ground. This was the first time it was mentioned in the Bible that God physically visited a person’s house. Where and how did Abraham...
But Jesus answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” Luke 19: 40What if Jesus literally meant it. Stones have a voice and are waiting to burst forth into praise. Before the stones cry out and praise God, let we start praising God. What if God is giving us an opportunity to praise Jesus before allowing the stones to praise Jesus. In this chapter, Jesus receives the right...
