HAVE FAITH IN GOD: THERE’S THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD!
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a FAMINE of BREAD, nor a THIRST for WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD . . .” Amos 8:11-13.
It’s a great time to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, and give your EARS to the HEARING of the SAYINGS of God, before the FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD takes hold of you as it’s so obvious in many places today.
“. . . 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.
It’s time to INCLINE your EARS to GOD’S WORD by HEARING and giving attendance to God’s SAYINGS, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in the midst of the challenging times. For FAITH comes by the HEARING of the WORD.
“So then FAITH COMES BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.
“My son, ATTEND to my WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23.
There are many VOICES in the air 24/7, and whom and what you LISTEN to will shape up your life, in every now and then. One is either HEARING to the saying of the WORD of God to APPROVE one, otherwise may be hearing the saying that’s pose for self-APPLAUD and HYPE by SOCIAL MEDIA and other MULTIMEDIA platforms; and or by the tradition and rudiments of the world, and or by the satanic and cohorts sayings, and or by self make-believe or made-believe, and or by the circumstances of the environment and such like.
It’s time not to feed on rubbish or from the waste bin garbage simply because you wants to feed. Wake up and locate a place for the HEARING OF THE WORD OF GOD not to SENTIMENTS and PREJUDICE that appeal to your emotions and circumstances. God’s INTENT is to GIVE you SHEPHERD that will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING that you might grow up in GRACE and be established in the FAITH. (Jeremiah 3:15; Proverbs 4:7). And it’s responsibility and accountability toward locating one today and begin to hear aright the SAYINGS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
There’s a genuine reality today of falsehoods, adulteration, perversion and dilution of the authentic and authoritative WORD of God by the deluded preachers and others in manifold manifestations in the name of Church or Ministry (Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18) It’s not surprising because the Scriptures knew before now of the upcoming FAMINE of the HEARING of The WORD of God.
A lack of the genuine HEARING of the WORD means a lack of FAITH. Faith is the transaction tender between Man and God. Which when lack, or adulterated or fake or diluted, one can’t trade in the Kingdom or Heavenly Business with God. Do you know the effect and consequences of that? It’s therefore imperative that you wake up from your lazy butt and begin to examine what you are HEARING today before the – The FAMINE of the HEARING of the WORD kicks into your being and overwhelms you in life and godly living.
For a NO HEARING of the WORD means a NO FAITH and that means a NO TRANSACTION in the heavenly for your earthly affairs under God. Heaven does not accept fake or adulterated or perverted or counterfeited or polluted and such like tender for transactions outside FAITH which is derived build up from the HEARING of THE WORD of God.
Therefore, do yourself a favour and examine what you are hearing and feeding your being if it’s God’s WORD or any of these but not limited: Man make-believe, traditional dogmas, denominational creeds and bye-laws, cultural sayings of the old fables, rudiments of this world, philosophy of men, prejudice and sentimental appeals and such like.
THE ONLY ANTIDOTE TO THE FAMINE OF THE WORD, IS THE HEARING OF THE WORD.
I pray you don’t run to and fro when it’s too late to look for the WORD. Do yourself a favour today before FAMINE kicks in and make-believe or made-believe takes over.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“So then FAITH cometh BY HEARING, AND HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13.
“My son, ATTEND to my WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23.
“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, the WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in THINE HEART that God hath RAISED him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10.
“And I will give you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.
“But GROW in GRACE, and in the KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen” 2 Peter 3:18.
“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
“I MARVEL that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be SOME that TROUBLE you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though WE, or an ANGEL from heaven, PREACH any other gospel unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH any other gospel unto you than that ye have RECEIVED, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9.
“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.
