See The Voice

In the realm of the spirit, our mortal senses are transcended, and we encounter the divine in ways that defy earthly explanation. The Apostle John's profound experience, as recorded in Revelation, captures this mystical paradox: "And I turned to see the voice that spake with me" (Revelation 1:12). This extraordinary statement—seeing a voice—illustrates the inadequacy of human language to fully convey spiritual realities.

Jesus Christ, the embodiment of God's Word, bridges the gap between the visible and the invisible. As John declares, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth" (John 1:14). In Christ, we find the voice of God made tangible, His message incarnate.

The limitations of human expression in describing spiritual phenomena are further emphasized in Paul's writings. He recounts an experience "whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth" (2 Corinthians 12:2). This admission underscores the inadequacy of physical language to capture the essence of spiritual encounters.

To truly grasp the beauty and depth of the spiritual realm, we must rely on divine assistance. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in this understanding, as Jesus promised: "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come" (John 16:13).

The Psalmist beckons us to engage with the divine on a level beyond mere intellectual comprehension: "O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him" (Psalm 34:8). This invitation to "taste and see" emphasizes the experiential nature of spiritual truth. It is not enough to simply hear about God; we must experience Him personally.

Indeed, the beauty of the spiritual realm surpasses human understanding. Paul eloquently expresses this truth: "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" (1 Corinthians 2:9). The glories of the spirit world are beyond our earthly imagination, waiting to be revealed to those who seek.

In our journey to comprehend these divine mysteries, we must acknowledge that some truths are better experienced than taught. The prophet Isaiah reminds us of the vast difference between God's thoughts and ways and our own: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:8-9).

As we seek to understand and articulate spiritual realities, let us remain humble, recognizing the limitations of our human perspective. May we open ourselves to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, embracing the mysteries of faith with awe and wonder. For in the end, it is through direct experience with the divine that we truly come to know the voice that speaks to us—a voice that can be seen, felt, and known in the depths of our being.

Work and Marriage: A Parable of Life

In my country, work is like marriage. Many say there is no work, yet in reality, there is more work than those willing to take it. The problem is not the absence of opportunities but the unwillingness to recognize and embrace them. Just as some people miss out on marriage because they hold on to an imagined picture of a perfect spouse, many remain in poverty because they continually pass over real work opportunities, waiting for the kind of work that fits the image in their mind. Scripture is clear: Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might  (Ecclesiastes 9:10). God does not call us to wait for ideal circumstances before we act; He calls us to engage diligently with what is at hand. Even in Eden, before the fall of man, the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it  (Genesis 2:15). Work is not a curse but a divine assignment. Yet many despise small beginnings. They forget the words of Jesus: He that is faithful in that ...

GROWTH-BLOCKING MINDSETS AND THE KINGDOM KEY TO BREAK FREE

  A Kingdom Perspective for Two Dangerous Mindsets In today’s culture of ambition and hustle, two dangerous extremes have emerged: Those who say, “I’m not called into business. I’m just an employee.” Those who say, “I don’t want to serve anyone—I just want to own mine.” Both of these mindsets are not only flawed—they’re limiting. They reflect a misunderstanding of how God raises people into influence, impact, and provision. We’ll address both extremes and reveal a balanced, Kingdom-based truth: you are already in business, and you must serve before you can own. You're Already in Business—Even as an Employee When you work for a company, organization, or institution, you are already participating in the world of business. You may not own the structure, but you are working within it. You are contributing to its operations, its vision, and ultimately, its profit. Whether you handle customer service, clean the premises, manage accounts, or sit in a cor...
