LISTEN TO THE WORD

Memory Verse

Memorise:To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken:behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

(KJV)

Message

Having discussed the word of God in the last few days, I must say that there are many who don’t have ears to hear. says, “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches…”

There is danger in not hearing the word of God because says if you can hear, then you will repent and be healed. That is why the devil puts in all efforts to steal the word of God from our hearts as we see in our Bible reading for today. I am certain that the day you gave your life to Christ, you were not the only one who heard that message. Others heard it and many of them did not surrender their lives to Christ. This is because though they had ears physically, the devil had blocked their spiritual ears. Furthermore, there are a lot of Christians who have been going to Church for many years; the Pastor preaches powerful sermons, but it has had no effect on their lives because the devil has simply blocked their ears in order to keep them in bondage. I pray your spiritual ears will never be blocked, in Jesus’ name.

There are also people who practice selective hearing of the word of God. In their case, the devil doesn’t have to bother himself, they block their own ears themselves (). They don’t want to hear that passage of the Bible that will condemn what they are doing wrong. When such people hear me say, “God said we should be holy for He is holy” they say, “Doesn’t he have anything else to say”?

made it clear that if you want to hear God’s voice, “Harden not your heart”. Some of us have hardened our hearts; we don’t want to hear anymore. Remember the rich man’s plea in when he told Abraham to send Lazarus to preach to his brothers. Abraham told him that his brothers had prophets speaking to them on earth; if they didn’t listen to them, they wouldn’t hear anyone else. They were destined for destruction.

You have genuine men and women of God teaching you the true word now - this devotional is a testament to that. Listen now so that you will not regret it for eternity.
