MESSAGE TOPIC: FACILITATORS OF INSIGHT IN THE WORD OF GOD
BY: DR. PAUL ENENCHE
MESSAGE OBJECTIVE: Understanding the factors that work together with the Word to generate insight
The destiny of everything is a product of the synergy of different parts
If we must see the best out of the Word, it must work in concert with a number of factors
FACILITATORS OF INSIGHT IN THE WORD OF GOD:
- The art of meditation (Josh. 1:8; Ps. 119:97-99; Ps. 49:3)
WHAT IS THE ART OF MEDITATION?
i. It is thinking the Word
ii. It is asking questions and expecting answers on the Word
iii. It is comparing Scripture with Scripture
1a. Meditation breaks down the Scripture into absorbable bits and pieces
1b. Meditation releases the Voice within the verse (Ps. 62:11)
1c. Meditation opens the door of understanding (Ps. 49:3)
1d. Meditation activates the Voice of the Spirit (Acts 10:19) - The attitude of joy and praise (Isa. 12:3; Eph. 5:26; Isa. 61:3; 1Sam. 16:23; 2Kings 3:15; Isa. 30:29-30; 1Pet. 1:8; Rom. 14:17)
2a. The attitude of joy and praise destroys the spirit of depression which closes the channels of inspiration (Isa. 61:3; 1Sam. 16:23)
2b. The attitude of joy and praise releases the Voice of God (2Kings 3:15; Isa. 30:29-30)
2c. The action of joy and praise is an action of faith expectation for revelation (1Pet. 1:8)
2d. The climate of joy and praise is the climate of the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17; Acts 13:2) - The help of the Holy Spirit (2Tim. 3:15-17; 2Pet. 1:21; John 14:26; 16:12-14; John 17:17; 1Cor. 2:9-10, 13)
The Holy Ghost is our Comforter, Counsellor, Guide, Standby, Teacher and Advocate among other things
3a. The Holy Spirit is the Author of Scripture and no one understands a Book like the author
3b. The Holy Spirit’s official title is Teacher and His assignment is to teach
3c. The Holy Spirit deepens our understanding of Scripture by ushering us into the depth of Truth (John 16:12-13)
3d. The Holy Spirit interconnects and networks Scripture with Scripture to assist insight (1Cor. 2:9-10,13) - The force of fasting and prayer (Isa. 58:6, 8; Ps. 35:13; Matt. 17:21; 2Cor. 11:27; Ps. 63:1-2)
4a. Fasting opens the spirit of man to spiritual realities as it humbles the flesh (Ps. 35:13)
4b. Fasting increases spiritual sensitivity and receptivity (Matt. 17:21)
4c. Fasting is a covenant season for the breaking forth of light (Isa. 58:6, 8)
4d. Fasting is a season of intensified desire and interest (Ps. 63:1-2)
Anywhere desire is confirmed, discoveries follow; anywhere interest is confirmed, insight is established
A prayerless fast will end as a powerless fast and a wordless fast will end as a hunger strike - Addiction to the House of God (Ps. 73:17; 1Tim. 3:15; Ps. 77:13; Acts 6:4)
5a. The House of God is the Place of understanding (Ps. 73:17)
5b. The House of God is the Ground and Pillar of Truth (1Tim. 3:15)
When you camp around the Church, you camp around safety but when you stray away from the Church, you stray into error
Whatever keeps you from the House, keeps you in error
5c. The House of the Lord is the Address of the Way of the Lord (Ps. 77:13)
5d. The House of God is the Place of the speakings of the Spirit (Acts 13:1-2)
It doesn’t matter how anointed you are, there are some things that God will not tell you when you are on your own; you need the atmosphere of the Church
COUNSEL:
- When you go to church look for God, don’t look for man
- When you go to church stop looking for faults
- Pray and be sure that you are established in the right place per time
PRAYERS:
