The Amazing Benefits Of Discernment

John 1:47

Discernment is the ability to see beyond the exterior, beyond what is on the outside and the facade of man.
The ability to discern gives you a unique perspective.
Discernment  makes you see beyond the pretense, the hypocrisy, the lies, and the evil motivations of man.

Discernment is a gift from God that helps with understanding why a person or people have come into your life and what their intentions are.
Discernment  makes you see people for what they really are.
The ability to discern is a most useful gift and it's one of the 9 gifts of the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11

The scripture records about God's ability  to discern.
Hebrews 4:13
A balanced and thorough understanding of God's Word brings discernment.
Through the Word we can discern.
Hebrews 4:12

When things, people, ideas, offers, and opportunities do not align with the Word of God we can discern what to do about them.
Our responsibility is to get ourselves well aligned with the Word of God.

Discernment is not merely a spiritual gift that's limited to spiritual things, it is a gift that is useful in everyday life - business, career,  friendships, academics, and our relationships with people.

Elisha operated in a high degree of discernment.
2 Kings 5:26
Jesus Christ operated in superior discernment - when He met Nathaniel and when He related with the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Jesus knew the intention of those who wanted to kill Him
He knew what was in man, He wasn't given to their praises or condemnation.

You will do well to ask God's Spirit for discernment if you don't have it yet.
1 Corinthians 12:31
Discernment will help you make the most of life.

The sons of Issachar knew the times and seasons.
1 Chronicles 12:32
Issachar was a tribe in the nation of Judah, a small tribe.
Their men or sons of the tribe had been blessed with a unique  anointing - the ability to discern the times or seasons.
It made them a valuable unit to king David because their ability to know or discern the times made the nation of Judah, particularly their king know the steps to take in each season.

The gift of discernment can make you a valuable asset to the body of Christ, to your biological family, your community, nation and even the world.

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...
