Events in the past few days have got me thinking more deeply than before particularly after the elections that took place in April. Recently a man of God died, after a respected Christian leader had pronounced that he wouldn't succumb to the sickness that eventually killed him. Then there's the silence of the church on our present national election drama. Almost like we don't know what's happening.
I thought God said He wouldn't do anything without first telling His servants, the prophets? How come the events taking place in this country leaves the Church, His family of prophets and priests, dumbfounded? How come we are the ones to know what's going on last?(That's even if we get to know at all!)
There's this story somewhere in the book of the kings of Israel where a prophet was telling of the things he heard in heaven. He was given the privilege to eavesdrop on a conference going on in heaven and then he shared what he heard with those who didn't have that privilege. The information they received was meant to help them decide particularly as concerned national issues of security, etc
I think now is the time for men who can hear and discern the mind of God for this nation to rise up. And I'm not just talking of being on the national level alone but even on the individual level. I believe now is the time for the many-sided wisdom of God to begin to be shown to the world particularly as we hear His heart and diffuse it to the world.
'nuff said.

WHERE IS THE CHURCH?

As I said in the previous one, which man of God were you talking about?
Isaac the man of God who died was Pastor Eskor( I don't think you know him though).The point I'm making is that at times we don't know how to distinguish between our own desires and God's so we present our personal ideas as God's.Our spiritual leaders should be sincere enough to tell us when they are hearing form God and when they are voicing what they believe will be benefecial for His people.
I think we Christians should understand what is meant by having the mind of Christ. Having the mind of Christ is not just knowing what He knows but being Him - Character an'all. You could be devout like some Christian people I know about but it will be helpful to us all if you really know what He is thinking about, and at the same time you can be as charismatic as another christian people I know off, but without the character, you cannot know his thought. You cant have one without the other.
get me?
