Ears To Hear

EARS TO HEAR

INTRODUCTION: THE APOSTLE JAMES, GENERALLY RECOGNIZED AS THE FIRST BISHOP OF ROME, INSTRUCTED BELIEVERS TO “KEEN UP” THEIR LISTENING EARS

SPIRITUAL INSIGHT: JAMES 1:19 THIS YOU KNOW MY BELOVED BRETHREN. BUT EVERYONE MUST BE MUST BE QUICK TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK AND SLOW TO ANGER.

THE APOSTLE JAMES GOT IT RIGHT. NOTICE THE ORDER OF THE VERSE: QUICK TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK AND SLOW TO ANGER. ALL BELIEVERS MUST “KEEN UP” IN THE ORDER OF THEIR COMMUNICATION.

A RENOWNED LINGUIST IN SEVEN LANGUAGES STATED HE COULD BE SILENT IN ALL SEVEN, IF NEEDED.

YOU WERE BORN WITH TWO EARS AND ONE MOUTH FOR A REASON.

GREAT TALKERS ARE SELDOM GREAT LISTENERS!

A MASTER COMMUNICATOR, JESUS CHRIST, SPOKE IN PARABLES TO OPEN DEAF EARS (MATTHEW 13).

PROVERBS 18:15 (AMPLIFIED BIBLE) THE MIND OF THE PRUDENT IS EVER SEEKING KNOWLEDGE, AND THE EAR OF THE WISE IS EVER SEEKING-INQUIRING FOR AND CRAVING-KNOWLEDGE.

PROVERBS 25:12 (NLT) TO ONE WHO LISTENS, VALID CRITICISM IS LIKE A GOLD EARRING OR OTHER GOLD JEWELRY.

APPLICATION: LISTENING EAR NEVER HURT A BELIEVER!
