TOPIC: QUIETNESS, WORSHIP AND MEEKNESS
TEXT: ISAIAH 30:21 & PSALM 25:9. And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
Quiet: with little or no sound, calm, meekness: humble, modest and submissive, when devotion is being accorded to a deity or sacred object.
Child of God, being quiet, worship and meekness are some ways you can enhance your
sensitivity to the voice of the Holy Ghost. There is a notable thing in Elijah’s experience in the wilderness. There first came a strong wind, and earthquake and a fire, but God’s voice was not heard in them, His voice finally came in form of a still small voice. The word “Still” is worthy of note here, because there is no way you can receive signals from heaven without the practice of quietness (Isaiah 30:21). If God’s voice comes from behind according to Isaiah 30: 21, then you need to be very quiet to hear it. Except you are in the practice of quietness you cannot understand the mystery of receiving from
God. So, practice quietness on your inside and outside. The Holy Spirit is always there to instruct you, so learn to be quiet and receive instructions from him daily.
Worshiper’s adoration. It is bowing down at the feet of God, hallowing His name. You lay down your crown before Him when you worship Him. As a result you receive revelations from God when you come before Him in worship. You must learn to worship Him, if you want to increase your hearing ability. (2Kings3:15-17). As the minstrel played on the instrument and Elisha’s heart rose up to God in worship, the word of the Lord came unto him. A lot of ministers around the world today do this. They ask for a time to be struck on the organ or keyboard while ministering to the afflicted. Normally, it is a
soft tune that plays on and on, and it enhances their sensitivity to instrument from the Holy Ghost. Psalms and hymns are very good worship tools.
Meekness also enhances your ability to receive from God because you come before Him on the platform of nothingness. It means coming to God devoid of all your so-called knowledge, coming to Him mpty and with the understanding that only He/Him can fill you up (Ps 25:9). God says, “Put away your ideas and receive my instruction with meekness” when you do, you will possess the earth, because only the meek will possess the earth. Meekness leads to obedience, and obedience to possession. Don’t be
too wise for God to instruct. Don’t be like King Ahab who was too wise and too full of himself for God to instruct make yourself a Jehoshaphat instead. Respect God’s instructions and obey them promptly, as prompt obedience qualifies you for more instructions.
