Bible Alive

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” 2Tim 3:16

I had just read the scripture to our congregation last Sunday when I asked how many of them have heard God in the recent times. Nobody raised his hand. I discovered that people are waiting for God to speak to them audibly before they can be assured that God is talking to them. The people of God will begin to see the greatest breakthrough of their lives if they will take the Bible as God speaking to them. Faith has no root unless God has spoken. But the truth is that you can always know what God is saying by going to your Bible. When you take what you have read in the Bible as God speaking and you act on it, you will see the supernatural acts of God.

I read one testimony about ArchBishop Benson Idahosa of blessed memory when he was an ordinary church member. His Pastor read and preached from Mathew 10:8 that Jesus commanded his disciples to raise the dead among other things He commanded them to do. He asked his Pastor whether he had raised a dead person before and the Pastor said No; he asked whether he could do it and the Pastor said Yes. Acting on this scripture, he started looking for a dead person to bring back to life. He eventually got one and through prayer based on the written word of God, the dead was brought back to life.
Beloved, do you want to hear God? Then take your Bible and see God talking to you.
You are saved to do great exploit!
