UNDIVIDED COMMITMENT


Therefore we aught to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip by. Hebrews 2:1

There are certain things that a lot of people take for granted. This unfortunate development sprang out from carelessness.  We hear a lot of things, and I mean beneficial things, however, our reactions to those things have not been encouraging.  God loves us to dearly, and that is why HE never ceases to send His word to us continually. That is why the bible says, “His words are new every morning”. That simply tells us that there is a word for you everyday. For everyday you wake up in the morning to see the sun rise on the eastern horizon, there is  a word for you.  So, there is a word for you today, part of which the Holy Spirit has brought your way on this platform. Therefore, I urge to receive this engrafted word that is able to bring succour to every aspect of life where you may be hurting.
 Our anchor text says,”…we aught to give the more earnest heed”.  It is a collective decision that we(You and I) should make that we will give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, seen and have been taught by the God, His messangers and from the pages of the scriptures. One of the ways by which we can give the more earnest heed to these things is by fellowshipping together. The writer of the Hebrews in chapter 10 verse 25 urged us not to forsake the assemblies of the brethren as the manner of some is. As we fellowship together, we are sharpened and shaped together to become better than we were or than we could ever be alone.  In those days, the first questions that believers ask themselves whenever they meet is: “Have you had your quiet time today?” If your answer to that question is no today, by tomorrow I’m sure you will not want to give the same answer. Directly or indirectly you have been spurred; the more time you spend with God, the better you become.
We can give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard by committing ourselves to it. What does it mean to commit yourself to something? Among other things, it means to direct our undivided attention and loyalty to that thing. To “commit ourselves to these things” could also mean to instruct and disciple others who will be able to appropriately teach others about the things we have taught them without compromising the message.
It is possible to have accepted Christ and be saved; it is equally possible to neglect this so great a salvation. Verse 2 of Hebrews Chapter 3 says, “How shall we neglect this so great a salvation; which  at the first began to be spoken the Lord, and was confirmed unto us  by them that heard him” The work of salvation that Jesus Christ executed on the cross is a great work. Infact , it is the greatest work of all times. This salvationtranslated us from the kingdom of darkness to God’s kingdom; It made us acceptable in the beloved; It made us heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, so we can say that Jesus Christ is our eldest brother. This so great a salvation gives us the hope of glory: the hope of beholding our Lord and our Love someday.
When your commitment to god, His word, and His assignment is compromised, you are beginning to neglect this so great a salvation which was once delivered to you. It is not as if you’ve abandoned it, it’s  just a neglect. Need I remind you  that there’s a close association between these words: neglect and negligence. When things that are very precious to God are no longer precious to you, you’ve began to neglect this so great a salvation. When you compromise divine standards and you don’t see an y big deal about that, I think you’ve gone too far. So you need to retrace  your step back to the Lord, so that together we can continue on the journey  giving the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip by.
Your responses and comments on this post  will be much appreciated.

JOURNEY TO GREATER HEIGHTS

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. Deut. 28:1 There is an height beyond where you are now. No matter how high you have gone, there is still a greater height. Therefore, let your slogan be, “higher everyday”. This is why Jesus keeps calling men upward. He calls from sin to salvation, from salvation to consecration, consecration to Holy Ghost baptism, from HolyGhost baptism to manifesting to manifesting the fruits of the Spirit, and so on, and so forth. Jesus said in John 12:32, “If I be lifted from above the earth, I will draw all men unto myself”. According to the bible text, the individual willing to embark on the journey to greater height must, hearken diligently, and observe to do all instructions rolled out to him or her. Prayers is one of the conditions which anyone prep...

DIVINE PROJECT

Being confident of this, that He who has begun a good work in you, is able to perfect them till the day of the Lord Jesus. (paraphrased) Phil 1:6 Life does not give you what you desire, but what you demand for. This is why most times, it's not the first time that you apply for a visa,job that you were given; it's not the first time that you wrote that exam that you passed. Life answers to the persistent. If you're persistent in your asking, particularly from the right source, you'll be consistent in receiving. Make this declaration boldly, "I AM A DIVINE PROJECT, I WILL NOT BE ABANDONED. In life, nothing starts as a completed task. Project means  to make something new or improve something. It means to make manifest something. However, not all projects eventually becomes what it was intended to be. A divine project is a life or destiny that God wants to use to make a statement to the world. The world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God...
