God's Love Is Personal

Image
GOD’S LOVE IS PERSONAL Biblical Perspectives in Everyday Life. Today I saw two wildly differing views of God’s involvement in our lives. One man, in a local newspaper, referred to God as “the guy that lives a bazillion miles away up in the sky.” The other viewpoint was displayed in a poem on a website that was sent to me (because of an upcoming surgery). The poem was titled, “The Operation.” It wasn’t the poem that grabbed me, however. Prominently displayed near the poem was a beautiful drawing of a surgeon working, and Jesus was standing beside the surgeon with one hand guiding the surgeon’s hand as he worked. What a loving, personal picture compared to just some “guy” way out in the sky. If God were just “that guy who lives a bazillion miles away in the sky,” I’d have given up a long time ago. In fact, because God is NOT “that guy” and is not a bazillion miles away, I actually HAVE given up everything—to Him. Because God cares for us, we are called to cast our care

BELIEVE

THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS) BeLIEve In the middle of believe is a lie. (Be lie ve). Friend, is what you believe really true? There is only one truth. Truth is not just the quality of being correct, it is not just a genuine depiction or statements of reality, on a higher level of knowledge and accurate reasoning, truth is a person...! Jesus is that person! John 14:6, John 17:3 Jesus is the only one true, anything outside Him is a lie. Romans 3:4, John 8:44 Anything,...whatever principles, rules, lifestyle, perspectives etc...that is not in consistency with the WORD of GOD  and the character of the WORD (JESUS) leads to error. The completeness of everything is found only in Jesus (the WORD) because He is the only one true and perfect. Colossians 1:16-20. He is the only one that can perfectly fill anything and make it steady. Eph 1:23,  Eph 4:10 So many of us many times have refused to see and understand things in Jesus' perspective. We conclude on people and

CAN GOD USE ME?

  THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS) "Can God Use Me?" Beloved, do u seriously think GOD can't use you? Do you see other people yielding result in an area and wonder....can GOD ever use me like that? Well, my answer to you beloved is yes....He can use you. Let me tell you a short interesting story:👂 Have you heard about prophet Noah in the Bible? Ok. Noah was a drunk! Oh yeah... He was a drunk but God used him still. Abraham was too old! Sarah was impatient! Jacob was a liar! Leah was ugly according to carnal definition of beauty! Joseph was abused even by his very own brethren! Moses had a stuttering problem! Gideon was afraid and insecure! Samson had long hair and was a womanizer! Rahab was a professional prostitute! Jeremiah and Timothy were too young! David the professional guitarist, the profound music director, a prophet, a professional fighter and the army general of Israel had an affair and was a murderer! Elijah was suicidal! Isaiah prea

SPIRITUAL MAKE-UP

Image
THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS) Spiritual Make Up GOD created our natural body to house our spirit man. Yes. But deeper than that is understanding the human spiritual make up. God didn't just create the human spirit to live in a body made out of an already existing substance (earth), He also placed within human spirit certain spiritual forces, such as love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. (Gal 5:22-23). "These positive forces make up the nature of our inner man." These fruits of the Spirit are part of GOD'S attributes. Each of them are a faculty in GOD. Each is a Spirit. They are part of the make up of God's kingdom. Fruits of the Spirit are gifts from GOD and are suppose to be in man by default, but are now gradually activated only upon one's confession with the mouth and believing with the heart that Jesus is Lord to the glory of GOD the father. E.A Isaiah @TMS

FAITH or HOPE

Image
THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS) Faith or Hope? Friend, never approach the system of this world or anything only on the basis of hope! Approach everything by faith in GOD and what He told you concerning any subject matter! Hebrew 11:1 Say: now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (faith). What is this hope as used in Hebrew 11:1? Hope here means to expect and wish for something. And you don't wanna stay only with wishes! Do you? Hope is only good when you are waiting on the Lord, and by implication that is patience (fruit of the Spirit). It is now yâchal in Hebrew and no more tiqvâh or tôcheleth (expectancy) or bâţach, as in a place of safety. Hope is also only good if it is backed up by faith! Faith is the fundamental fact of existence. It is trust in God. Faith is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. Hahah...🔥🔥🔥 Faith here is pistis in the Greek language, and 'êmûn in the Hebrew. And i

ACTIVE LISTENING

THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS) ACTIVE LISTENING (HOW TO EFFECTIVELY LISTEN TO MUSIC) SEMINAR BY ELMOND ISAIAH. It will interest you to know that when you play music in the background while doing some tasks such as household chores, typing, reading or talking you aren’t actively listening to the music. You are only hearing it. Yeah… But that is what many of us do most times and think we are listening to the music. Some ladies will even say, I scored the song while washing the dishes, while washing some clothes etc. well, that’s funny because you will never get the best of music that way! “Good music is a great healing relaxer to help us escape from the various struggles and stresses of life only if we give proper attention to what it has to offer” To really enjoy good music and harness this relaxer, we must "actively listen" to it. If the principles of listening to music are actively followed, the result will be a panoramic expansion or enlargement of your musical e

JESUS OUR TRUE WORSHIP LEADER

Image
THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS) JESUS OUR TRUE WORSHIP LEADER BY: ELMOND ISAIAH It is truly interesting to understand that in a real sense it is not the band or the worship leader who draws men into the presence of God but Jesus who is our true worship leader. Jesus said in John 12: 32 that when He is lifted up from the earth He will draw everyone to Himself; to Himself because He is God all by Himself (John 1:1). However, I want you to see it this way, no matter your abilities, skills and deep understanding of music, it is utterly useless if it is not centred on Jesus (Hebrew 12:2) Let us examine Hebrew 2:11-13 So now Jesus and the ones He makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters. For He said to God, “I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters; I will praise you among your assembled people.” He also said, "I will put my trust in him," that is, "I and the children God (Theos) has given me.&q

SEVEN HEBREW WORDS FOR WORSHIP

Image
           THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS) Topic: Seven Hebrew Words for "Praise and Worship." Instructor: Pastor Gilbert Edoreh INTRODUCTION The Hebrew language is quite an interesting one. Not just interesting, but deep. Having a little insight into such words (seven Hebrew words for Praise and Worship), convey a deeper essence of the things we have been seeing in the Bible. We trust God for deep insight as we examine them. Amen. SEVEN HEBREW WORDS FOR WORSHIP BARAK The first word we'll be considering is the Hebrew word - Barak. Barak (baw-rak') Some people spell it as Barauch. The word "Barak" means to bless God (as an act of adoration). It means to kneel before God our maker in worship. We can check these scriptures: Psalm 95:6 and 2Chronicles 6:13. Psalm 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down let us kneel before' the LORD our Maker. 2 Chronicles 6:13 For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits
