Who is the number one enemy of your dream? The devil 

The devil fights people that have been given a vision by the Lord.  He frustrates them so that they conceive defeat from the vision that the Lord has given to them so the one enemy of the dream that The Lord has given you is the devil 

In as much as we may have strategies to grow the vision, There is always time purposed by God towards  the fulfilment of the vision that the Lord has given you and as long as that time hasn’t arrived you need to keep serving and waiting on the lord for the fulfilment of the vision 

This is basically for people that conceive to do great for the Lord in whatever vision of affiliation  that The Lord has given them………….

In God’s communication to Habakkuk.. he told Him that the vision is for *an appointed* time Habakkuk 2:3[3]For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day. [Heb. 10:37, 38.]

Reflective questions about the teaching 

a) Is there time purposed  by the Lord for the fulfilment of every vision

b) What lessons in view can you learn from our teaching 

c) Give an understanding of due as realised upon to perspective

d) In what ways can we recognise in view the vision that the Lord has given us? 

Dear Lord Jesus am grateful for the wisdom of the Spirit that you have given me to grow and establish the vision that you have given me in Jesus name Amen

God promises escalating judgement upon people that fight men of God of evil and disaster just as He did to the people of ANATHOTH as due to what they did to the prophet of the Lord in like manner. God promised to bring

evil and disaster upon the people of Anathoth

The people of ANATHOTH did something to the prophet.  They mistreated Him and plotted after killing his life and thereby what they experienced as a result of their behaviours was worse to the point 

When you realise upon as due to purpose of word you will realise that the people of Jeremiah’s hometown where He grew up did not have a remnant.  The question would be why weren’t the people that were in the hometown of Jeremiah didn’t have a remnant Jeremiah 11:23[23]And there will be no remnant [of the conspirators] left, for I will bring evil and calamity upon the men of Anathoth in the year of their punishment.

a) According to purpose of due. How come the people where Jeremiah grew up, His home town did not have a remnant? 

b) Who said to them that they would not have a remnant?

c) Underline purpose of note as due to our insight in word?

d) What is a remnant as underlined to thus as considerate to our subject study

Dear Lord… help me not to be like the people of ANATHOTH who conspired against the prophet of the Lord 

People of Ananoth ( Jeremiahs hometown fighting Him)

The way people fight prophets now day’s is a real predicament of what Jeremiah experienced as due to his prophetic messages 

From an exuberant perspective we realise that Jeremiah reached a point in His life where people wanted to take His life as due to the prophecies that He was giving to the nations and also the people of the Lord.

They threatened Jeremiah.. Do not  prophesy in the name of the Lord or else we will take your life Jeremiah 11:21-22[21]Therefore thus says the Lord about the men of Anathoth [Jeremiah’s hometown], who seek your life [Jeremiah] and say, Prophesy not in the name of the Lord, that you die not by our hands–[22]Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and their daughters will die by famine;

a) Which people in perspective wanted to take Jeremiah’s life?

b) For what purpose did these people want to take Jeremiah’s life 

c) Underline purpose of God as due to our teaching 

d) What relation does this teaching have in view to our day to day life

Dear Lord Jesus I know that regardless of those who don’t like me. I stay strong and strengthened in you in Jesus name amen 

From an empirical perspective, we realise that there is a climax to what you know  and also a climax to what you do not know so God knows what you know and what you do not know 

God says even what you do not know He wants to tell you just as He spoke to Jeremiah when He was confined in the guard’s courtyard  but the requisition is  To call Upon The LORD Jeremiah 33:3[3]Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).

a) Who wants to tell you  great and wondrous thing’s you do not know of? 

b) Is there a climax to what you know? How do you know that there is a climax to what you do not know?

c) What is your overall perspective in view to this teaching 

Dear Lord Jesus, am grateful for the wisdom of your spirit that is ever aligning to my spirit man in Jesus name amen 

God is specific at instruction

When you read the bible don’t read it as a story book but study it by revelation so that you get what you need to get out of it and it’s applicability in view to you concerning our day to day life 

Over year’s have realised that God is specific when it comes to instruction and the agenda always is upon us to carry out the instructions or not. 

When the LORD was sending Samuel to the house of Jesse, He told Him to fill His horn with oil.That means if his horn was empty by the time that the Lord gave Him this instruction.. He was minded upon as required to fill His HORN so before Samuel tarried upon to go to the house of Jesse.. He had to fill His Horn with oil 1 Samuel 16:1[1]THE Lord said to Samuel, How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided for Myself a king among his sons. As thus we must be subjective to the instruction of the Lord 

Reflective questions about the teaching 

a) What did The Lord say to Samuel for sure when He was sending Him to the house of Jesse?

b) What did The Lord tell Samuel to fill His Horn with? 

c) Give an understanding in view to our teaching as reflected upon in perspective 

d) According to our note of view, Who is specific at instructions 

e) Analyse purpose of note as due to our subject study

Dear Lord Jesus I thank you for your word in view that you are specific to instructions in Jesus name Amen 

JEREMIAH & BARUCH

Whilst underlying perspective in view to the story of Jeremiah and Baruch, you realise that time came when The Lord hid them from all those that wanted to do bad to their lives Jeremiah 36:26[26]And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son and Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but the Lord hid them.

It’s possible for the Lord to hide you from those that want to 

kill you

poison you

or do harm to you just as He hid Jeremiah and Baruch  if you keep after his will 

a) According to perspective in view, who hid Jeremiah and Baruch from all that were after their lives?

b) Is it possible for the Lord to hide you from those that want to do harm to you?

c) Which people as realised to thus did the king command to seize Jeremiah and Baruch ?Did they succeed 

Dear Lord Jesus am so grateful that you are hiding me from all those that want to do bad to my life 

EBED- MELECH.

From perspective, we realise that like it or not you need people with the same mind attitudes like those of ebed melech.

When Jeremiah was thrown in a cistern where he had nothing to eat.. in mad .. what happened 

A gentleman called Ebed Melech a cushite court official that was employed in the king’s palace came to the king in favour of his rescue Jeremiah 38:7-9[7]Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian [a Cushite], one of the eunuchs who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon or cistern pit; and while the king was then sitting in the Gate of Benjamin [8]Ebed-melech went out of the king’s house and spoke to the king, saying,[9]My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon or cistern pit; and he is liable to die of hunger and is [as good as] dead in the place where he is, for there is no more bread left in the city. As thus we should also come to people’s rescue as considerate to some of the situations that they may be going through as so king Zedekiah was able to come to the rescue of Jeremiah Jeremiah 38:10-11

[10]Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from here thirty men with you and raise Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon or cistern pit before he dies.[11]So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king [to a room] under the treasury, and took along from there old rags and worn-out garments and let them down by ropes into the dungeon or cistern pit to Jeremiah.

a) Who is ebed Melech as represented upon in perspective 

b) What would be some of the lessons you learn and perceive from our subject matter but more so to reference concerning to the bible personality of Ebed Melech 

Dear Lord Jesus I pray that just as you used ebed Melech to rescue your servant so in that way you will also use me to rescue those who are struggling 

From a deliberate perspective we realise that God doesn’t necessarily see you according to the way you present yourself to people or how you look like in perspective of physical appearance 

He sees your heart… what is your heart like. What is in your heart is actually the most apparent truth about you. 

It’s more than what people know about you and what people perceive of you

Is your heart full of 

Hate

Rage

Gossip 

Ever complaining 

Grumbling 

bitterness 

unforgiving 

How man sees is not how The Lord sees. The Lord doesn’t see thing’s according to the presentation of men whereas the presentation of men may be key to us but that’s not how the Lord sees man. 

When Samuel reached the house of Jesse, jesse presented to Him the first born. So when Samuel saw him… He said… The Lord’s anointed is here. He Samuel possibly thought that He is the One whom the Lord had anointed yet he wasn’t the one that The Lord had anointed until The Lord had to tell Him that man looks at the outward appearance but I look at the heart 1 Samuel 16:6-7[6]When they had come, he looked on Eliab [the eldest son] and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him.[7]But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance or at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.

a) According to our teaching in view, does the Lord see thing’s according to the presentation of men or how you present yourself to people?

b) Who looks at the heart as therefore attributed 

c) What context of purpose in view do you learn from our subject study

Dear Lord Jesus.. am grateful for this purpose of truth that is ever continually nourished by your spirit in Jesus name amen 

Right now people underlook you because you don t have money, you don’t have any big connection that could probably change your life for the better. Life seems to be at a scale of disadvantage on your side as if you are all alone by yourself 

You are struggling and no body seems to be on your account of progress 

When it’s The Lord’s time to favour you everyone will be shocked.. they will be surprised at the predicament of God over your life in like manner.

When Samuel realised that Jesse had another SON whom the Lord had selected as King. He said we shall not sit down to eat before he gets here… as long as David is not yet here.. the sacrifice  will not be eaten until the man that The Lord has selected or chosen is here 1 Samuel 16:11[11]Then [he] said to Jesse, Are all your sons here? [Jesse] said, There is yet the youngest; he is tending the sheep. Samuel said to Jesse, Send for him; for we will not sit down to eat until he is here.as thus it was so that the one whom The Lord had anointed was honoured and treated like that in like manner 

Reflective questions about the teaching 

a) According to our teaching in view, who is that one who was waited and people couldn’t sit down to eat before His arrival?

b) What would be some of the lessons you learn in view about divine selection?

c) What applicability is this teaching in contrast to our day to day life?

Confession prayer 

Dear Lord Jesus I am grateful that you have chosen me for fulfilment of divine purpose  and that you have a purpose for my life beyond what my finite mind can conceive in Jesus name amen 

Don’t cause The LORD to regret why He called you into ministry or what He called you to do what He instructed You to do. 

Saul made The LORD regret why He made him king because he did not carry out his instructions of killing all the amalekites in doing what The Lord had fully instructed Him to do 1 Samuel 15:11[11]I regret making Saul king, for he has turned back from following Me and has not performed My commands. And Samuel was grieved and angry [with Saul], and He cried to the Lord all night.as thus to note we shouldn’t cause The Lord to regret why He made us who we are 

a) According to perspective, who regretted why He had made Saul king? 

b) Why did The lord regret as realised upon in perspective?

c) What would be some of the lessons you learn from our subject study 

Dear Lord Jesus I pray that I will not cause you to regret why you called me to do what you have instructed me and called me to do in Jesus name.
