Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. To everyone who is victorious I will give fruit from the tree of life in the paradise of God. – Revelations 2:7 (NLT)
PROMISE TO THOSE WHO LISTEN
A poem and essay by ILMA
Anyone with ears to hear must listen to God’s Spirit
Understand what he is saying, then follow and live it
To each person who follows, they will be victorious
To those who continue to be rebellious, there will be chaos.
Choose to listen with the ear of your heart
It will make you abide and never depart
Look up to the promise and you’ll receive blessings
Deny it and you will continually be living in sin.________________________________________
There are many believers who still remain deaf to God’s call. I once was this kind of believer who never really listened. I hear God’s word, but didn’t let it sink in my heart. So, it never really transformed me into the person that God wanted me to be. I lived like this for so many decades. I was blind to the truth and promises in God’s word because I lived in the world’s standard. The bible asks us to listen to the Spirit and you will bear fruit. As long as we don’t have a personal relationship with the Lord, it will be impossible to hear his voice.
