GOD HAS FOUND A MOUTH TO SPEAK THROUGH - Heart of Wisdom Series 007
Read John 9:1-7
Psalms 90:12, KJV
"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."
The prayer of Moses was that God would teach the generation judged and soon to pass away that they might get a heart of wisdom. A heart of wisdom is one that has already been instructed or taught. It is a ready made heart indwelling man. In temperance of living, it is tempered while bearing eternity in mind. This manifests in what life of focus, purpose and dedication he lives daily. He has sieved himself away from what doesn't profit and only lives for one thing - "why am I here on earth?" Meanwhile, will God come down from above to begin to teach all men that are living life outside the revelations of death's inevitability and brevity of life to change in order to reroute them? No! He won't because such task is already given to men amidst men. Moses cried to God, "teach us to number our days..." God does that through His messengers. They're designated for same.
Romans 10:14, KJV
"14 ...and how shall they hear without a preacher?"
Preachers or teachers have been raised and equipped to teach all God's counsel. This includes not withholding from their congregation the ever stable fact that death is the end of all things and that that death might come even sooner than they think. They have victory over death though and it isn't a thing to fear but that fact should make them gird themselves with utilizing their short life here. If you ask any man, I don't think there's any who will naturally embrace death when the earth is treating him well. That's why many evades thinking about death but say, "it doesn't matter since I can't but one day die eventually." So, they neglect the place of living with focus which comes by having the revelation of life being temporal on the earth. They however are numbered amidst those who scatter their forces, strength and ability and so couldn't be recognized for having achieved something in particular in this life. They chased too many things - of which many were distractions but of which one is their calling (which should have been the one thing they should have done) just like Paul said, "this one thing I do..." Paul also said to a congregation that he has not withdrawn from them God's whole counsel.
Acts 20:26-27, KJV
"26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God."
There are ministers now who select what to teach people and neglect others which are also fit for edification or setting right. Teach all is what we're admonished whether it is bitter to swallow or not. You must also know that your office is a special privilege. They can't hear if you won't preach or teach. God called and anointed you to teach all these things with the authority and strength of the called He has given you. Your office as a minister was given you by the Lord Jesus Christ who gave gifts to men and set men in their different offices for the perfecting of the saints (Ephesians 4:8-14). So, don't waver but teach them God's whole counsel which includes this one I'm on. You didn't call yourself. God did and it is He you'll also have to do with one day. So, rejoice in your calling as one called to teach men what God would want them know for respectful living on earth. Don't forget, time is running. We must therefore do the works of He that sent all of us while it is day because night comes when no man shall work no longer. If night (the day of death) is never sure, we could then recline a million years doing nothing with our might as we should do. As long as we are on this earth, we should choose to be the light of the world. We can't choose to be darkness because Jesus was not. He was the light of the world and conscience of it. We don't have much time for experimentation. This truth on right living or what is most suitable to abide by has been proven and given us. If we had a million years to live, then we could choose to be darkness for awhile before coming back to live with commitment as light - one who shows others the path to follow in Christ and lives out the coding on purpose left in his soul at creation. Today, God is saying, my teaching you how to number your days is not something you'll have to come to heaven for or get transported in a trance before you're instructed about it, the words are with my preachers - even the word of truth. Those preachers luckily are on earth. They're the ones I will move on and through to bring you timely messages by which you'll get a heart of wisdom on how to live life like he who has been slated not to see tomorrow. Preachers, preach it!
