One of the thing’s that is keeping people away from the Lord are abominations which they have justified to their pleasure.

The more you keep justifying your pleasure with the Abominations of the 21st century and the generations that have gone by, the more you will begin to draw away from the purpose of God and the more you will be derailed to confusion just like it happened to the Israelites

God tells Ezekiel while He was in the land of Babylon in captivity on how He would make the land desolate as due to the abominations that are done by the Israelites and those who are in the ruins would therefore fall by the sword and that those in the field The Lord would give them to wild animals to be devoured by them Ezekiel 33:26-27[26]You stand upon your sword [as your dependence]; you commit abominations and each of you defiles your neighbor’s wife; shall you then possess the land?[27]Say this to them, Thus says the Lord God: As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in strongholds and in caves shall die by pestilence.

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus I come before you today and I pray that you give me the grace to keep in your presence and to align with the vision of the Lord for my life amen

One of the things that will stop some of us from getting to heaven is as a result of the ancient hatred that we have been able to conceive in our heart’s . We didn’t let go of ancient hatred

We hate people as a result of what they have done to us and they hate us too as a result of what we have done to them

Hating people for a long time can become disastrous to our spiritual lives more than what we can imagine or think and as due to our relationship with God

Some of us have hated people not just for months but for year’s. We still have that inner hatred within us as consistent to our way
Ezekiel 35:5[5]Because you [of Esau] have had a perpetual enmity [for Jacob] and you gave over the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, when they were suffering their final punishment [the Babylonian conquest], [Ezek. 25:12-14; 36:5.]

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) Are there people that you have hated for years? If so.. ask for The Lord’s forgiveness in this that you may be cleansed and made whole.

b) What is that which is done by some of our people

c) Give an exclamation of due as reflected upon in perspective?

d) What would be some of the big lessons that you learn from our teaching

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus I know have conceived bitterness within me and I know that bitterness can’t give you glory. Can’t give you honour

Have you been fasting For the LORD ?

There is a certain revelation that I want to draw to your spirit. When you conceive this revelation the way you fast and how you do thing’s will be more pleasing and appealing to the Lord in a way you never expected

fasting doesn’t make sense when you have not done what The Lord wants you to do. How can you say you are fasting yet you are living a life of ill responsibility and disobedience to the instructions and the purpose of God of the Lord.

Have been on the prayer mountain many times for prayer and self devotion and have seen people outwash their concerns before the Lord in much prayer and fasting.

There was a person who said repeatedly in prayer. Lord am tired of little money in my pocket . Then I asked in my heart.. it is a prayer, petition to you Lord. What is it

Question , why isn’t The Lord responding to your fasting ? Why isn’t the Lord responding to your fasting. Your simply fasting but then you are not helping the needy or doing that which The Lord has presented to your calibre Zechariah 7:8-10[8]And the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying,
[9]Thus has the Lord of hosts spoken: Execute true judgment and show mercy and kindness and tender compassion, every man to his brother;[10]And oppress not the widow or the fatherless, the temporary resident or the poor, and let none of you devise or imagine or think evil against his brother in your heart.Zechariah 7:8-10[8]And the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying,

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) According to purpose of sense , what is true fasting?

b) Does it make sense fasting when you are living a life of ill responsibility towards the instructions and purposes of God?

c) What are some of the lessons that you learn from our teaching

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus I pray that as I fast.. I will reflect your purpose in me and through my life for your glory in Jesus name Amen

From an inclined manner of thought in view , we realise and perceive that the way of the Spirit is not really attached to some of the thing’s that people feel or consider important

God’s word comes to Zechariah in a very pivotal state of Israelites spirituality in view to that which God wanted Him to beseech the people of Israel to do in like manner

Realising a bit of social media videos, I realise how our generation has been swallowed up by contempt and mischief of demonic perception

• people are being lied to by the devil
• People are showcasing their nudity on social media as a trap from the devil in order to get who they can sleep with

The Lord told prophet Zechariah to tell the people that they should return to the Lord and if they return to the Lord then the Lord would return to them
Zechariah 1:3 [3]Therefore say to them [the Jews of this day], Thus says the Lord of hosts: Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will return to you; it is the utterance of the Lord of hosts.

Reflective questions about the teaching

A) According to purpose of view as streamlined upon in perspective, which word came to prophet Zechariah from The LORD? What was The Lord beseeching Zechariah to tell the people to do

b) How purposeful is the word that The Lord told Zechariah to tell the Israelites

c) What would be some of the lessons in view that you may learn from our context study

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus just as you told your prophet to tell the people to return to you so I return to you in Jesus name Amen

The bible talks about a time when Ezekiel the prophet was in the land of Babylon. When Ezekiel was in the land of Babylon the elders of Israel came before him and when the elders of Israel came before Him possibly they did not know that The LORD had told Ezekiel what they had put in their hearts. They may have presumed that Ezekiel would probably not come to knowledge of what they were doing .. The LORD began to tell Ezekiel what was in the heart of these elders. Ezekiel 14:1,3[1]THEN CAME certain of the elders of Israel to me and sat before me.
[3]Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts and put the stumbling block of their iniquity and guilt before their faces; should I permit Myself to be inquired of at all by them?

The elders had set up idol’s in their hearts and set wicked thing’s before their faces

Many of us have set up idols in our hearts, on the outward our appearances all good yet in the inward calibre of our spirituality is frustration and all about frustration

Reflective questions about the teaching

A) As realised upon in our teaching in view. What is that which the elders of Israel put in their hearts?

b) Are you the same like the elders of Israel who had put idols in their hearts?

c) Give an understanding of beseech as realised upon to note..

d) What would be some of the lessons that you learn from our teaching in view

Confession prayer

Lord you alone know the idols that we have set up in our hearts. Idols of profanity, idols of unforgiveness and idols of deceit. We pray Lord that you will clense us from all these idols that we have set up in our hearts in Jesus name Amen

Maintaining the presence of the Lord in your life in this generation is not that easy especially as due to the pull of the world but with the power of the Holyspirit it is possible

Recently I came into close contact with a certain great man of God in Uganda. This man appears to be normal on the outside just like everyone but from the inside of Him comes a presence you are not able to understand by human terms – I called it an Heavenly anointing. He operates on an heavenly level not by sympathy of carnal, spiritual or religious gymnastics

Partly those we admire in ministry spend time in the presence of the Lord to cultivate that certain level of anointing they are able to walk in

Some spend hours and day’s in the presence of the Lord whilst being detached from the cares of the world .

One of the thing’s that you must seek to be in .. is the presence of the Lord. The bible says in His presence There is fullness of Joy and pleasures evermore Psalm 16:11[11]You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore. [Acts 2:25-28, 31.]

The more you seek to be in the presence of the Lord the more joy you will have and the lesser you seek to be in the presence of the Lord the more disturbed you will be

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) In whose presence are pleasures evermore?

b) Do you seek to live and to be in the presence of the Lord?

c) What is your greatest motivation for ministry?

d) Underline purpose of note as due to our teaching

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus I desire for your presence more than what I can ever achieve in this world. Fill me with your presence that I may be able to walk in it in Jesus name amen

The main thing I want us to conceptualize in this teaching is the ability to be transported somewhere in a vision by God just as Ezekiel was transported in various visions while He was in the land of Babylon

God can literally take you to a place of known or unknown expectation through a vision. You can be in Uganda now and He takes you to China in a vision. you begin to see what is happening in china in real note through power and purpose of spiritual practice

The bible talks about visions of God in a way human mind may find it hard to conceptualize but yet definite to truth

When Ezekiel was in the land of Babylon in the 25th year of his captivity.. He was transported to the land of Israel by God.

He wasn’t transported to the land of Israel physically but He was transported to the land of Israel spiritually in a vision Ezekiel 40:1-31]IN THE twenty-fifth year of our captivity [by Babylon], in the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city [of Jerusalem] was taken, on the very same day the hand of the Lord was upon me and He brought me to that place.[2]In the visions of God He brought me into the land of Israel and set me down upon a very high mountain, on the south side of which there was what seemed to be the structure of a city.3]He brought me there, and behold, there was a man [an angel] whose appearance was like bronze, with a line of flax and a measuring reed in his hand, and he stood in the gateway.
Just as Ezekiel was transported to Israel in a vision we too can have faith to experience various visions from the Lord

Reflective questions about the teaching

A) According to what formality of note was Ezekiel transported to the land of Israel?

b) Where was He physically as realised to thus when He was transported to the land of Israel?

c) According to the bible, what may have thought this being to be that He found at the structure that was on the southern slope of the high mountain where The LORD had taken Ezekiel to?

D) Was Ezekiel transported to the land of Israel physically or Spiritually?

e) What would be some of the main lessons you can learn from our subject study?

f) How does this appeal to our day to day perception of life?

Confession prayer

Dear Lord.. am grateful for this teaching in view to the visions of God. I pray that me too the eye’s of my spirit will be awakened to experience visions of God in Jesus name Amen

God interestingly speaks to those that were deported from Jerusalem to Babylon through Jeremiah’s letter to them amidst their time’s of controversy and wonder in that land where they had been deported to

God tells them that after seventy years are over, He will attend to them ( Visit them)

• God tells them that He knows the plans He has for them
• Brother, sister you may have been struggling for quiet purpose of time but the Lord is saying that He knows the plans that He has for you. Plans to give you a future that you long for. Plans to give you an expected end Jeremiah 29:10-11[10]For thus says the Lord, When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you and keep My good promise to you, causing you to return to this place.[11]For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) What did The Lord through Jeremiah the prophet tell the Israelites that had been deported from Jerusalem to Babylon?

b) Are you aware that God knows the plans that He has for you?

c) Do you know that God has plans for you?

d) Underline purpose of note as due to our teaching

e) What is the applicability of this as due to our day to day life

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus am grateful that for sure indeed you have great plans for me and you alone knows the plans that you have for me

According to a realised aspect of view in perspective and also in conduct , we note that there are people that have brought about curses upon themselves as due to what they have done. They are called covenant curses as mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy

They are living under a curse as a result of failing to honour their parents and living against divine purpose

The bible talks about those who are cursed in perspective to that which they have done as to some of those who make a graven image Deuteronomy 27:15-1615]Cursed is the man who makes a graven or molten image, an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret. All the people shall answer, Amen.16]Cursed is he who dishonors his father or his mother. All the people shall say, Amen.as thus, we should refrain ourselves from thing’s that may bring a curse on ourselves

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) What is a curse? How can you define a curse according to the perception of your forbearing?

b) In the book of Deuteronomy which people were considered as cursed

c) May you be one of those who think that you may be cursed according to way of acclaimed manner?

d) What would be some of the lessons that you learn in view to this teaching

e) How relatable is this teaching in relation to our day to day life?

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus am grateful that you are delivering me and you have delivered me from any curse of the law as related upon to my of life in Jesus name Amen

You can’t go far in Christ as long as you still have something detestable that is before you that the spirit of God has been reminding you to throw away. It may be in your house, office or whatsoever place in view.

One of the thing’s that we should do as like minded disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ is that we should throw away the detestable thing’s before us Ezekiel 20:7[7]Then said I to them, Let every man cast away the abominable things on which he feasts his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.

There are so many detestable thing’s that we have put before our eye’s in view to consideration of how some of these thing’s are treasured by us and as to thus if we don’t throw away them.. they will cause the anger of the Lord to reign over us

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) As reconciled to view of note, what are those thing’s that we are instructed by The Lord to throw away?

b) What are some of the detestable thing’s before you

c) What lessons can you prioritise in view to our teaching

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus I pray that you give me the ability to throw away all the detestable practices before me in Jesus name Amen
