That David should do whatever he wanted about building a house for God was not correct. David's hands were too bloody to build for God.

So I made many mistakes in hearing. One particular one for years was about God's concept of death compared to mine.

We were in a Leaders' Discipleship Meeting in Saint Luke Adankolo, Lokoja many years ago. I don't remember whether Bro. Matthew, the Pharmacist from Peace House, Gboko, was our Guest Speaker. I ony remember that he was the speaker years later in the same kind meeting when the Lord explained to me that what I thought I heard Him say was not true. As the speaker spoke one night, I thought that I heard God say that I would die before my wife. 

I was happy about that and I told her when I returned home after the meeting. It was a comfort to me because she was seriously sick around that time. It was like God was telling me that He had answered my prayers for her 

That was my believe for years till we were in the same kind of meeting many years later. I had grown in understanding of what calls death to self, death to sin and the to the world.

And the Lord explained to me that He oniwanted me to know that my wife will only die to self if she can see me live that kind of life first.
Luke 9:23 (KJV)  And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Luke 9:23-25 MSG

[23-27] Then he told them what they could expect for themselves: “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat—I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? 

That was one of my many mistakes in hearing. It happened because I could not hear His words then because of my spiritual level. Remember that the Lord once told His followers that it was not possible to teach them some things till the Holy Ghost had come on them.
John 16:12 (KJV)  I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Many believers are at that level. This is also the reason why every one who wants to grow in Christ must first read the bible through and through.

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
