Who Told You?

Text: Genesis 3:9-11

God asked Adam and Eve who told them they were naked?
That question is a question God is still asking people today in different situations and circumstances.

God asks people questions.
People who have a relationship with God and hear God, will find God asking them questions from time to time.
God asked Cain where His brother is. Genesis 4:9
God asked Job many questions. Job 38:1-41
God asked Moses questions. Exodus 4:11
Isaiah heard God ask a question. Isaiah 6:8

God is asking you today, who told you-
you can't make it?
you can't live Holy?
you can't climb your mountain top?
it is to late for you?
you can't be healthy?
your dreams will not come to pass?
you cannot grow spiritually?
you won't overcome your enemies?
your life won't manifest the kingdom?
you're a failure?

The question - who told you? brings about another question - who are you listening to?
Who you listen to in life can determine how far you go in life. Proverbs 4:21,22
Who you listen to can make you or break you.
There are great destinies who have listened to the wrong voices. Genesis 3:1-6
Samson was a great 'star' of God but He listened to the wrong person, the wrong woman. He listened to Delilah. Judges 16:8-21
David's son Amnon listened to the advice of a wrong friend Jonadab.
It brought about his death and brought trouble in the family he came from. 2 Samuel 13:1-14

Who are you listening to?
Who is telling you things that are not from God?
Who do you receive advise from?
Is it from God's anointed or Satan's agent? Is it from informed people or ignorant people, spiritually sensitive people or carnal, sensual people?
A person who loves you and means well for you can advise you wrongly.
Let's take advice and instructions from God's Word.
Let's take advice and instructions from God's Spirit.
Let's take advice and instructions from anointed people.

The question - "who told you?" brings up the fact that there are many voices in the world.
The 'voices' of television, our radios, our peers, our relatives, our friends, the print media and our circumstances are different voices in the world.
We also have the voice of God and the voice of Satan, the voice of our flesh, and the voice of our mind.
The voice we listen to will determine a lot in our life. The voice we listen to is up to us.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
