[§]OUR MEDITATION SHOULD ALSO FOCUS ON THE ACTS OF GOD. WHATEVER GOD DID BEFORE IS A POINTER TO WHAT HE CAN DO AGAIN.
WHAT IS MEDITATION:
[§]Meditation is the act of remaining in a silent and calm state for a period of time.
[§]Meditation is the act of thinking about something very carefully and deeply for a long time.
[§]True Meditation however is thinking and pondering over the Word of God until the HolySpirit takes over in your mind and shines his light on the subject matter.
HOW MEDITATION BIRTHS REVELATION.
Genesis 1:1-3
V1)In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
V2)And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(Amp)
V2)The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters.
V3)And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
[§]THE SYNERGY BETWEEN MEDITATION AND REVELATION IS VIVIDLY EXPLORED IN THE ABOVE TEXT.
[§]WHEN THE EARTH WAS IN TOTAL CONFUSION, IT WAS MEDITATION THAT ALLOWED THE INCUBATION BY THE HOLY SPIRIT over the SUBJECT MATTER OF THE STATE OF THE EARTH.
[§]IT WAS AFTER THE BROODING (showing deep thoughts about the state of a matter) BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD THAT THE LIGHT CAME. BROODING IS ANOTHER WORD FOR MEDITATION.
[§]NOTICE THAT AFTER MEDITATION IT GAVE BIRTH TO LIGHT OR ILLUMINATION OR DIRECTION OR IDEA as confirmed in verse three.
[BY APPLICATION]:
[§]In application we must train ourselves to mediate on the word of God and the acts of God which seek to build up our faith concerning the subject of our immediate Concern.
[§]As we meditate on the word of God and the acts of God, the HolySpirit is attracted to shine is his light on the subject of attention.The HolySpirit beams the Light of idea or Solution upon our minds.
[§]As soon as we receive this light of idea or Solution we must act promptly with wisdom so that we can enjoy good success.
[§]WE MUST INCULCATE THE HABIT OF GOING FOR RETREAT REGULARLY TO MEDITATE AND EMBRACE THE LIGHT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR DIRECTION ON EVERY ISSUE.
[§]WE KNOW THROUGH TEACHING OF SCRIPTURES THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BRING THE “LIGHT” THROUGH DIFFERENT FORMATS SUCH AS:
*DREAM.
*VISION.
*TRANCE.
*DISCERNMENT or INTUITION.
*STILL SMALL VOICE.
*AUDIBLE VOICE.
*REVEALED WORD(Rhema).
[§]REMEMBER THAT REVELATION ALWAYS BIRTH ELEVATION AND INFORMATION IS the MOTHER OF TRANSFORMATION.
