Hearing God thru His Word

Genesis 1&2 gives a concise over
-view of the progress of creation,
climaxing in the creation of man.
In Genesis 3-5, the perfect
environment into which man
was placed is now shattered by
the entrance of sin. The results
of the sin of Adam and Eve
spread quickly as humankind
and the whole creation fall
under the penalty of death.
In Gen 6-9, humanity becomes
so sinful that God prepares to
execute the death sentence on
the entire race. In grace He directs
Noah – a just man who walks
with God – to build a great ship
in order to escape the coming
judgment. Noah obeys God, and
while the flood waters purge the
earth, the ark preserves human
and animal life for a fresh start.

On Wed, we learn from launch
that God truly speaks to His
people to guide, instruct, correct,
inspire and encourage them.
And that He seeks to draw us
closer to Him; to do His will,
to bear much fruit & be blessed…
On Thu, we learn from Gen 2/3
to Draw Near to Relational God.
On Friday, we learn from Gen 5
to Walk Constantly with God.
On Sat, we learn from Gen 6/9
to Obey Direction of the Lord.

Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
be Christ’s disciples who Hear You:
For You are the Relational God and
You want us to draw near to You.
For You desire our fellowship and
love us to walk constantly with You.
For You Provide Direction for our
good & desire our Obedience.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Obey Direction of the Lord

In the course of its rebellion,
humanity becomes so sinful that
God prepares to execute the
death sentence on the entire race.
In grace He directs Noah to build
a great ship to escape judgment.
Noah Obeys God & while the flood
purges the earth, the arc preserves
human life for a fresh re-start.
After a safe landing on Mt Ararat,
God makes a new covenant to
Noah and his descendants; and
said: I will remember my covenant.

Lord, we’ll walk closely & Obey You:
The Lord observed the extent of
human wickedness on the earth,
and he saw that everything they
thot was constantly & totally evil.
So the Lord was sorry He had ever
made them… it broke His heart.
And the Lord said: I will wipe this
human race I have created from
the face of the earth… But Noah
found favour with the Lord.
Noah was a righteous man… and
he walked with God (Gen 6:5-9).
And God said to Noah: Build a large
boat from cypress wood and water-
proof it with tar, inside and out…
And of every living thing of all fresh
you shall bring two of every sort
into the boat; male and female…
Thus Noah did; according to all
that God commanded him(v13-22)
Whenever the rainbow appears
in the clouds, I will see it and
remember the everlasting
covenant between God and
all living creatures of every kind
on the earth (Gen 9:16). Amen.

Lord, You created human beings
in Your own image;but they became
sinful when they disobeyed God.
Noah was spared from destruction
of the flood because he obeyed You.
Lord, help me to live each day
with a deep sense of Your presence,
even as I purpose to spend time
knowing You and talking with You.
And help me Lord to hear Your
voice speaking to my heart so that
I will follow Your leading. Amen.

Lord, we note Noah was totally
obedient to Your Instructions,
spending more than 100 years
to build the big ark and collecting
all the animals and creatures.
Teach me Lord to walk in close
fellowship with You; and to obey
Your instructions for my blessing
and for life purpose and mission.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Lord, praise You that You are
indeed a covenant keeping God.
Help me to understand and
remember exactly what Your
promises are so that I can recall
them in my mind, keep them
in my heart and speak them out
whenever I need to push doubt
away from me. Help me remember
that Jesus is the ultimate proof
that You have already kept Your
greatest promise to us. Amen.

Walk Constantly With God


The perfect environment into
 which man was placed is now
 shattered by the entrance of sin.
 Disobedience follows as the first 
family eats from the forbidden
 tree and is expelled from the 
garden. The results of their sin
spread quickly as humankind 
and the whole creation fall 
under the penalty of death.
 Cain becomes the first murderer,
 and the downward spiral continues
 from Adam to Noah, paving the
 way for God’s sweeping judgment
 upon the wickedness of the world.

Lord, we purpose to Walk with You:
Enoch lived 65 years and begot
 Methuselah. After he begot
 Methuselah, Enoch walked with
 God 300 years and had sons
 and daughters. So all the days of
 Enoch were 365 years. And Enoch
 walked with God; and he was not,
for God took him (Gen 5:21-25). 
By faith Enoch was taken away
 so that he did not see death,
and was not found because God 
had taken him; for before he was
 taken he had this testimony, that
 he pleased God. But without faith 
it is impossible to please Him, for
 he who comes to God must believe
 that… He is a rewarder of those
 who diligently seek Him (Heb 11:5-6)

Lord, thanks for the lesson from
Gen 5 that You walked With Enoch.
Noted You almighty creator God
calibrated Your stride for Enoch’s
sake to take into account his frailty.
So intimate was Your relationship
with Enoch that when the time came
 for Enoch to leave earth and enter 
eternity, his walk just continued; and 
received Christ’s promise: He who
believes in Me shall never die. Amen.

Lord, we thank You for the gift of
Your Presence. I am grateful and
 filled with wonder and amazed
 that You love me so much You
 actually desire my presence.
 Teach me more each day what
 it really means to walk with You.
 Help my thoughts not to be
 wholly occupied with the world’s
passing show. But grant each day
 may strengthen my hold on the
 reality of the unseen world. Amen.

Lord, we are challenged by the long
term faithfulness of Enoch that
 he walked with You for 300 years.
 Help us also to please You like
 Enoch who not only believe in You
 but also earnestly seek after You.
 Help us also to seek after Your
holiness for we learn in Jude that
 Enoch warns people that God is to
 be worshiped and obeyed. Amen.

Draw Near to Relational God

Genesis 2 details how God’s image
-bearers were created – man from
the dust of the ground and woman
from his rib. In Gen 3, the perfect
environment into which man was
placed is shattered by the entrance of sin. Disobedience follows
as the first family eats from the
forbidden tree and is expelled
from the garden. The results
of their sin spread quickly as
humankind and the whole creation
fall under the penalty of death.

Lord, we’ll Draw Near to Hear You:
The LORD (Jehovah) God formed
man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life; and man became
a living being (Genesis 2:7).
Now the serpent was more cunning
than any beast of the field which
the Lord God had made. And
he said to the woman: Has God
indeed said: You shall not eat of
every tree in the garden (Gen 3:1)
Then the man and his wife heard
the sound of the Lord God as
He was walking in the garden
in the cool of the day, and they
hid from the Lord God among
the trees of the garden. But
the Lord God called to the man:
Where are you? (Gen 3:8-9).

Lord Jehovah, You are worthy
of all praise and adoration.
You are the God who made
the heavens and the earth.
You rule over all, and yet You also
seek relationship with Your creation.
Thank You for sustaining our
lives and delighting in our souls.
Thank You for not only being high
and lifted up but also dwelling
among the lowly. Thank You for
desiring to Be Close to us. Amen.

Lord, we will Hear Your Voice:
We spend much of our lives Lord
in a battle to trust Your goodness
because the evil one constantly
cast doubts & misrepresent You.
I invite You to move my heart
and synchronise it with Yours.
I need to connect with You more;
for only Your voice & revelation
can accomplish that. Give me
clear insights of Your will. Amen.

Lord, we will Draw Near to You:
I want to have a close walk
with You Lord. Help me not
to forfeit that relationship by
being drawn toward the world.
Enable me to hear Your voice
calling me so that I will answer
without delay. And help me not
hide from You for any reason;
but instead seek Your forgiveness
and draw near to You. Amen.

Hearing God thru His Word

We have been utilising Scripture
to form prayers so that we learn
to think as God thinks; and pray
within His will, thus pleasing Him.
Having prayed thru Scripture on
Seeking God thru Biblical Prayers,
Trusting God thru His Promises &
Adoring God thru Thanks & Praise;
we continue this discipling walk
with our new and exciting series
on Hearing God through His Word !

“God Is Not Silent. It is the nature of
of God to speak, writes AW Tozer;
and it’s true!! God’s relationship
with human beings in Scripture
and throughout history gives ample
evidence that God guides, instructs,
corrects, inspires, encourages,
reveals and more. And He is even
called “the Word.” He has always
been vocal and He always will be.

We can find many stories of people
who misheard God; but there are
far more testimonies of people
hearing Him clearly & bearing much
fruit from what they have heard!
Everyone can learn to recognise
God’s voice – seniors, adults, youth;
the highly educated & the illiterate,
leaders & followers. God doesn’t
mind the skeptics. He simply speaks
to people who will listen and believe.

We could spend the rest of our lives
learning to recognise God’s voice,
and many of us likely will. But we can
be confident that if we seek Him,
He will make Himself available to us.
If we listen, He will speak. And if we
believe what we have heard, He will
show us more! The God who speaks
is always seeking to take us deeper
into His Will & draw us closer to Him.

Henry Blackaby in his workbook
Experiencing God says God Speaks
by the Holy Spirit through the Word,
Circumstances and His Church.
In this current series, we will be
focussing on Hearing God through
His Word; but needless to say
we will also see God speaking
thru circumstances & His people.
And we will also see God speaking
in many other ways including
angels, visions, dreams, symbols,
gentle whispers and miracles.

Listening to God is a process,
                        a journey and an adventure. It will
take time, but it’s worth the effort. 
             God promises that those who
             seek Him will be rewarded with
 His       presence and His voice!
  And the words of the living God
 are powerful and life changing.
May He bless our desire to hear Him.
Amen and amen.

Adoring God thru Thanks & Praise

The path to intentional discipleship
is to grow towards spiritual maturity
by nurturing key disciple attitudes.
So for past 2-3 years, we had been
Seeking God thru biblical prayers;
and Trusting God thru His Promises.
And for the past 12 months; we have
been Adoring God through Thanking
Him for what He has done for us
and Praising Him for who He is.

From the earliest days of the church,
the singing of hymns and spiritual
songs has been an integral part
of Christian worship. It is a means
for believers to express praise to
their Creator and Saviour. And it’s
also a way for us to communicate
with God using more than words.
For it enables us to pour out the
grateful feelings of the heart and
to express commitment to God.

We are meditating through the Bible,
which is clearly organised by genres:
Laws, History, Poetry and Prophets…
And the purpose of the Letters,
written by Paul and other apostles
was to reveal truth about Jesus,
the gospel, and ways church leaders
as well as members should conduct
themselves so that others would see
and accept Lord Jesus thru them.

Here we have the key thoughts from
Acts, apostolic letters & Revelation;
which reveal & draw pple to Jesus:
S16: God Always Near Us (Acts 17)
S23: God Doesn’t Condemn Us (R8)
S29: God Provides Way Out (1C10)
Oct7: G Comforts & Delivers(2Cor1)
Oct14: God Grants Freedom (Gal 5)
Oct21: God Gives Sp Gifts (Eph 4)
O28: G Supplies Our Needs (Phil4)
N4: G Sanctifies Completely (1Th5)
N11:G Desires Eternal Mindset (1T6)
N18: G Stands By t Faithful (2Tim 4)
N25: Great HP Grants Grace (Heb4)
D2: God Helps His Sheep (Heb 13)
Dec9: God Helps In Trouble (Jas 1)
D16: Lord Enables Godly Living(2P1)
D23: God Listens to Prayers (1Jn 5)
D30: G Makes All Things New (R21)

God Will Make All Things New

Following judgments of the 7 vials,
John sees the doom of Babylon.
And a great multitude sings praises
ahead of the marriage of the Lamb.
A white horse emerges, mounted
by the King of Kings who destroys
the beast and the false prophet…
setting the stage for a new heaven
and new earth, where God and His
people live in intimate fellowship.

Lord, You will Restore All Things:
I saw a new heaven & a new earth…
Then I saw the holy city, New
Jerusalem… prepared as a bride
adorned for her husband(Rev 21:1-2)
And I heard a loud voice from the
throne saying: Look God’s dwelling
place is now among the people,
and He Will Dwell with them…
And God will wipe every tear
from their eyes. There will be no
more death or mourning or pain…
… I am making everything New!
… these words are trustworthy
and true (Rev 21:3-5). And the
glory of God illuminates the city
and… the nations of the earth
will Walk in its Light (v23-24).

Father, when I am sad, keep me
from despair; and remind me that
Christ has defeated sin and death.
Grateful Lord that the day is
coming when the world will be
put right and all sorrow will cease.
Thanks for the promise of making
everything new, including making
heaven a place of infinite joy for us.
Praise Yr mighty & holy name. Amen

Lord, help us to see not just the
present challenges, but also the
great future You’ve planned for us.
Illuminate Your Word and assure
us that a wonderful future awaits.
So, flood our minds and hearts with
Your light; grant us wisdom and help
us find the way out of dark places.
Help us to take the long-term view;
and keep us from impatience and
faithlessness. In Jesus’ name, Amen

Lord, Thanks for illuminating Your
Word, taught me & comforted me.
Even as Your light has changed
my life, grant me wisdom and help
me find the way out of dark places.
Look forward to the day when we
will walk in a city where the Lamb is
the light. Look forward to be there
with You and to bask in the light
of Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Adoring God thru Thanks & Praise

The purpose of Revelation is to
reveal the full identity of Christ and
to give warning & hope to believers.
Just as the first book of the Bible
(Gen) provides the opening chapter
of God’s redemption program, so
the last book (Revelation) supplies
the conclusion as it describes
the return of Jesus Christ and the
creation of a new heaven and earth.

On Mon, we learn fr Rev 1 that God
Made us Priests in His Kingdom.
On Tuesday, we learn from Rev 3
that God Longs Being Close to Us.
On Wed, we learn from Rev 8-12
that God Gives Hope in Gloom.
On Thursday, we learn from Rev 15
that God Is Almighty & In Control.
On Friday, we learn from Rev 20
that God Promises Victory Over Evil.
On Saturday, we learn from Rev 21
that God Will Make All Things New.

Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
be Christ’s disciples who Adore You:
For You are worthy of our Thanks
as God Made Us Priests in His
Kingdom & Longs Being Close to Us.
For You are worthy of our Praise
as God Gives Hope in Gloomy time
and that He is Almighty & In Control.
For You Promise Victory Over Evil
and that You’ll Make All Things New.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

God Promises Victory Over Evil

ahead of the marriage of the Lamb.
A white horse emerges, mounted
by the King of Kings who destroys
the beast and the false prophet…
setting the stage for a new heaven
and new earth, where God and His
people live in intimate fellowship.

Lord, we’ll Be Ready for Judgment:
Then I saw an angel…with the key
to the bottomless pit…He seized
the dragon who is the devil & bound
him for a thousand years(Rev20:1-2)
The Devil who betrayed them was
thrown into the lake of fire… joining
the beast and the false prophets…
And I saw a great white throne, and
I saw the One…sitting on it (v10-11).
I saw the dead… standing before
God’s throne. And the books were
opened, including Book of Life.
And the dead were judged according
to their works, by the things which
were written in the books (v12).

Lord, the revelation on end times
reassures us good will ultimately
triumph over evil and gives us hope
when faithfully enduring struggles
though we may be wavering in faith.
Grant us Lord the courage to keep
pressing on & fix our eyes on Christ.
And we rejoice, knowing You are in
control & that You Triumph Over Evil
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

Lord, You are sovereignly on the
throne, You have already overcome
the enemy and You are the victor.
Living in the end times, help me
spend less time worrying about
a defeated enemy; and more time
regarding those who need the truth.
Help me Lord remember that time
is limited and help me to lead life
in a way to make a difference. Amen.

Lord, I pray in faith that when
You open the books, what You find
will not bring condemnation but
will be confirmation that my dear
friends and loved ones are Yours.
I pray that it will not be a record
of their fleshly works, but only of
the righteousness of Christ; both
imputed by grace and imparted
through the grace of the Spirit’s
sanctifying power. In His name,Amen
