SIGNS
AND SYMBOLS
Memorise
And
in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring.
O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the
signs of the times?
Matthew 16:3
Read
Matthew 16:1-3
1 The
Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would
shew them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered
and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for
the sky is red.
3 And in the
morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye
hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the
signs of the times?
Message
Signs and symbols are signals to important events
in life. Signs usually have their origin in the spirit realm. Some signs
manifest physically while some can only be viewed with spiritual eyes. Those
with the ability to read the signs of the times have been in existence for
thousands of years. The star-gazers from the east were able to correctly
identify the star of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today, scientists have developed
advanced technology for more accurate prediction of weather patterns. Major
world events are regularly being transmitted via dedicated spiritual broadcast
stations, but only those with active decoders are able to receive such
privileged broadcasts.
It takes the spiritually sensitive person to
determine spiritual signs that are not apparent to the physical eyes. It is
important to be able to discern the time of your favour or else you may miss it
completely. It is the work of the Holy Spirit to point your attention to the
signs signalling your time of favour. He is mandated by God to share secrets of
things to come with us (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit can use any available
means to communicate signs to you. It could be through dreams, open visions, or
God’s audible voice. He could speak through a prophet in a programme, or He
could send one to you directly. God has a thousand and one ways that He could
use to inform you of happenings in the spiritual realm. What is important is
whether you know how to cultivate your relationship with the Holy Spirit. If
you do, no event will take you unawares.
However, it is important to note that Satan and his
cohorts easily identify the time of one's favour and move at such times to
provoke the proposed recipient to take steps capable of triggering a loss.
There are people who have determined not to compromise with sin, but when their
time of favour comes, they would suddenly observe that they are under intense
demonic pressure to sin. It is at such times the devil reawakens their old
appetite for sin. Satan uses this strategy a lot to debar Christians from
receiving their blessings. Therefore be wise, watch and pray. Whenever you come
under intense pressure to sin, your time of favour could just be around the
corner. Do everything you can to keep your relationship with God intact. Most
importantly, cultivate your friendship with the Holy Ghost. Open your spiritual
eyes; be sensitive to the signs of the times and you will never be caught
napping.
