HOW GOD GETS OUR ATTENTION.

You know when we walk in the Spirit, alert to God, we 

hear what He’s saying to us as a natural part of our 

spiritual walk. This is the Christian life, living responsive 

to the voice of God in whatever fashion He may choose to 

speak to us. 

Unfortunately, there are also times when we choose to do 


things our own way or become insensitive to know when 


it’s God speaking. As a result, we head in a direction that 


brings us to disaster or disappointment. God’s speaking, 


but we aren’t listening. 



We aren’t tuned in to Him. In these times, God often uses  


unusual means to get our attention. Major ones among 


them are:


1. An Unsolicited Word From Another Person — While 


not all messages from others are positive, there are times 


when God decides to speak to us through a friend, 


stranger, a child or a church members etc. It is left to us to 


be able to detect or realize it is God speaking to us 


through the person. God does so in order for us to see that


he cares so much for you that he had to use someone to 


tell you sometimes a stranger so that he might startle you 


into paying close attention.


2. A Restless Spirit — God has frequently used a 


persistent restlessness to direct people in their life. 


Sometimes he uses it when the individual seems to busy 


to notice the other ways God has spoken to him or her.


That restlessness drives us to seek God so 


that, when the time came, you would be ready  to hear 


Him. 


3. Unanswered Prayers — While God answers many of 


our prayers in the way in which we desire, sometimes 


He’ll delay an answer or answer a prayer with a definitive


“no” in order to get our attention or keep us from straying 


off course. He knows that when all of our prayers seem to 


be answered, we may become complacent and simply 


cruise through life without listening to what He desires to 


say to us. 


There’s no such thing as an accident with God. The Father 


may use many different methods to get our attention and 


keep us in alignment with His will for our lives. But we 


must always remember that He knows exactly what’s best 


for us, and He’ll never quit trying to reach us so that He 


can guide us into the wonderful plans and purposes He 


has in store for each of us (Jer. 29:11). 


4.Unusual Circumstances (Both Bad & Good) — 


Circumstances can set us up to open our hearts to God and 


turn our attention fully toward Him. While not all 


circumstances are caused by God, some examples are; 


illness, accidents, bankruptcies, divorces, and unusual 


blessings of abundance bring people to their knees and to 


a total reliance on Christ, sometimes for the first time in 


their lives.

STARTING AFRESH.

Hey lovelies   Happy weekend ❤️ I’m sure seeing the title you felt like not again as per  you’ve probably read it somewhere before or read  something similar to the topic. Well, yeah it might be similar but you’ll gain something  new or renew some old knowledge gained before now 😊 . I would like to share a story.  If you’re following me on  Instagram then you’ve read the  story already but  nevertheless  keep reading 😊 . This topic dawned on me yesterday while searching for  something and I came across a bag which I stored my  materials for bag making, and I started thinking of starting  afresh but before then, I thought of why I stopped and  honestly I didn’t have any cogent reason as to why I  stopped  making the bags (I mean I had great sales). What then is Thegabbytable trying to say you must be  asking. There are things we’ve probably started in life’s journey  that was either going well or ...

CONSISTENCY PART 3

Happy Weekend lovelies,  I hope your week was great😊. Today we are looking into consistency in a different  dimension or revelation 😁 and it’s subtitled “THE  CURE FOR INCONSISTENCY” How do you develop spiritual consistency that blesses  your family? Abraham acted foolishly, but he also  modeled what to do when you have fallen by repenting  and, eventually, renouncing his sin. Abraham had an underlying selfishness and fear that led  him to come up with a strategy of self-protection. He  wasn’t convinced that God would or could protect him;  so, he put in place a plan to protect himself. His bad  decisions (fruit) flowed from that false belief (root). Part of the healing process is to get below the surface of  the fruit (what you see as the problem) and deal with the  root. What is the underlying lie you believe and the  strategy you have put in place around it? Repent of that  and renounce that. A consistent Christi...
