Topic: Lessons from the Tabernacle during Eli's Time (Part 1)

 Text: 1 Samuel 3:1-4 (New Living Translation)
[1]Meanwhile, the boy Samuel served the lord by assisting Eli. Now in those days messages from the lord were very rare, and visions were quite uncommon.

The Tabernacle was supposed to be a meeting place where God will come to speak to the leaders of Israel who will then relate it to the people.

However, in our text we discover an aberration from that which was instituted.

Messages from the Lord became a rare occurrence. Visions became uncommon.

Israel during the time of Eli were left to their whim. There was no Divine word to guide them so everyone wandered as they pleased.

God always spoke to Moses at the Tabernacle. The messages were guiding light and compass to the people. But when it came to Eli, everything was turned upside down.

Let's shift our focus a bit from Eli and look at ourselves today.

How powerful are the messages we receive from the Lord? I don't mean the prophetic "I saw you" kind of message.

Messages from the Lord were powerful to instruct and direct the destiny of nations.

Prophets of old were spiritual echoes of the voice of the Lord over nations. They decreed edicts, judgements and counsels of Yahweh.

When a people lose divine instructions, they lose direction.

The whole world is in confusion, many leaders are helpless and clueless. The church should know the way and lead the world in these times.

Men of old spoke words from God that made kingdoms quake and tremble. Now the church quake and tremble at the words of kings because we haven't been hearing from our own KING!

I pray that God restores us and cause us to hear the messages and see the visions that can lead and direct nations in these times.

Have a graced day...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo

Topic: Love Not The World Text: 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him . John the Apostle had a personal relationship with Jesus during His time here on Earth. The relationship was so deep that he was referred to as "the beloved" of Jesus. Therefore, he understood what it means to love Jesus and be loved by Jesus. In his epistle, he decides to speak a great deal about love. Love is one of the major themes of this apostle. So much so it earned him the nickname 'The Apostle of love" John submission is that anyone who loves the world does not have the love of the Father. Which is why he encouraged the believers no to love the world, nor the things in it. Sadly, many believers have not only fallen in love with the world, but have laid in bed with the world. This is the tragedy of the 21st century church. The Greek word which is translated as the "world

Theme: Isaiah 43:18-21 interpreted in relation to  Salvation. (Pt 11) Sub Theme: All will Honour God Anchor Text: Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Based on our anchor text, we discover that the reason the beast of the field, dragons and the owls would honour God was because He gave waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Like we have established already that the Holy Spirit is the One who causes waters in the wilderness (salvation) and rivers to flow in the desert (Holy Spirit baptism). These creatures mentioned weren't physical rather they were spiritual entities. They were the demonic forces that try to oppose God's rule on Earth. And in order for God to establish His authority, He needs to make use of human entities as well. So Jesus gave His disciples a glimpse of how this is to work even though the Ho
