FIRST IMPRESSIONS 21.5.25 A LIFE JOURNAL BY ALEX OGUH 

The Beginning of My Hearing God
Alex Oguh
I was saved at an accident scene on December 30th 1991. The first Christian book I read after my conversion was written by a Pastor who was disciplined by his Church because the Senior Pastor told a lie about him. The man suffered rejection for a time. Everyone looked at him as a sinner, when in reality, he did not sin. It was jealousy at work.

After a time, the rejected pastor was restored and he was posted out to a new station. God helped him in the new place and led him to a higher dimension of ministry.

The author kept quoting Rom 8:28 I saw that all things work together for good to them who love God. I was in prayers when I finished reading the book. Then I heard audibly some important things about how my life, even in the past, would be turned into good. I turned around to see who was talking to me. I saw none. I asked a person in the next room whether he heard anything. That person said, “No”, he did not hear anything.

I kept quiet and I am still keeping quiet about those things heard. Only it has helped me to stay adamant and on course in pursuit of God. Wrong counsels have come, pressures have come to make me reverse my earlier decisions, but I remain anchored in the words expanded from 
Rom 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. KJV

That verse became my best companion among all the verses. Many things didn’t worry me anymore. I could be tossed, perplexed, harassed, battered or be in lack. All things work together for the good of the one who loves God. That cannot be out of laziness because loving God is obeying His commandments (Jn 14:15). Do you love God? There is no way to be hearing from God unless your life is really surrendered to God to cast or toss anyhow He wants.

The second Christian book I remember reading after that was written by Mrs. Ruth England. The title is, “My Word from God.” It was about a woman, deeply perplexed by the embarrassing way the husband was running ministry. Churches kept rejecting them. The messages of the husband were not compassionate. They were judging the people and condemning them. The wife talked and talked and the man would not listen.

So the woman, after praying over the matter for a long time, resorted to writing notes to God as a way of praying. Over time, she started sensing in her heart answers to her notes. She began to write these down and she was surprised to find that the answers matched her prayers.

Was God talking back to her? Yes! With time she gained more confidence in things she heard. She compiled some of such notes and their answers into a booklet and made it clear that God speaks to us today.

Again at the end of the book I simply asked God, “Do you still speak to people?”

I wrote down the answer I got. His answer was, “Yes”

Then I asked further, “Do all your children hear You?” The answer was, “Not all.”
“So what percentage of them hears You?”
His answer was, “Less than ten percent”.

WISDOM FOR TODAYTODAY, 1st November SHUN EVIL OF CONSULTING WITH FLESH AND BLOOD

WISDOM FOR TODAYTODAY, 1st November  SHUN EVIL OF CONSULTING WITH FLESH AND BLOOD Proverbs 1:7 [7]The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. Shun Evil Counsel Paul learnt from Ananias and Barnabas. It was not that Paul was arrogant. What he meant here was that once he knew what God wanted him to do in life, he didn't go on again seeking human opinions.  I'm ashamed to confess that many points on my journey with Christ, I made the mistakes Paul was able to escape in his own walk with Christ. I want to speak out with prayers that some other persons in my shoes then would do better than I did.  In 1972, I was in form in Form two in a boarding school called our Lady of Schools, Anyigba, now in Kogi State, Nigeria. I had come in a year before. Though I was already going to the Catholic Church in my village before coming to the School, I had never met any true Christian, one who took his belief serious, till I got to School. Tw...

FIRST IMPRESSIONS - ALEX OGUH LIFE JOURNAL

13.5.25 FIRST IMPRESSIONS 2 - by Alex Oguh  Dreams have helped me greatly in this last few years that I began to give it attention. I wanted to write about dreams and I remember that I saw recently how a Christian group deleted a post I made about a dream I had and it's interpretation. It made no sense to them. So writing about dreams may not benefit many Christians unless the Lord first help me teach on HEARING GOD. Why? Everything about dream interpretation in the Bible is hinged on hearing God. See more on the matter tomorrow. ...TO BE CONTINUED

CHRISTMAS REMINDS US OF HOW TO INTERPRET THE BIBLE

Christmas reminds us of the mysterious and powerful ways the Bible works. The Bible speaks once, but we hear it again and again. As the Scripture says: “Once have I spoken; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.” — Psalm 62:11 History moves like a wheel—turning, revolving, and returning. What God did before, He does again. Christmas is one of those events that keeps repeating itself prophetically. See: Luke 2:1-3 AMP [1] Now in those days a decree went out from [the emperor] Caesar Augustus, that all the inhabited world (the Roman Empire) should be registered [in a census]. [2] This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. [3] And everyone went to register for the census, each to his own city.  1. A DECREE THAT YOU SHOULD BE REGISTERED  At the first Christmas, there was an announcement— A decree went out that everyone should go back to their roots. Today, the announcement still goes out, not from Caesar, but from a greater King and not...
