This is the first time something like this is happening! I just woke up from sleep a few moments ago and what woke me up is the strangest thing ever! While I was asleep, I kept on hearing a voice, my voice, repeating a particular Bible verse; Isaiah 5: 5. I am sure I wasn't dreaming. This Bible verse was on replay in my mind (or head where I was hearing it) over and over again until I opened my eyes. For some reason, I picked up my phone (since my Bible wasn't near me) and Googled the Bible passage to know what it was talking about. This is what I found...

Is 5:5 - Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled. - NIV translation.

I don't know what to make out of this. I don't know whether it applies to myself or someone else.

I am a professed Christian, but I stopped practicing Christianity seriously (the way I believe it should be done) since 2012. Within that time and now, i have done all sorts (though I don't believe I am evil, and still do good when I have the opportunity to).

This is very strange, and I am disturbed...

Where do you worship?

Hehehe, now u're gonna be a broke nigga

Ask Him the particular area He called you and work on it
He's just trying to wake you up from your slumber.

stopped going to church for a while.

you need to ask for mercy and direction. its obvious u r loved by God. a prayer retreat would help a great deal

You better repent and retrace your way back to Church.

Repentance, is the gateway to understand the scripture given to you. I believed the message is personal to you since you are not much into Christianity.

Have some Days to fast, pray for repentance, and more grace, its seems you have abuse many grace Go made available for you.

One of the symptoms of people that are called by God is they stopped going to church for no reason. Bro, the dream and the scripture meant that God has warned u severally to draw close to Him and you refuse and you got many people to deliver as He wants to use you... He's now planning to ignore you and leave u to suffer until you decide, and who knows it may be too late when you decide. Check your reasoning most times u don't even know what u really want to do. Lock yourself up in a fast out of your comfort zone and carry your Bible and ask Him what He meant. He will guide u well. If not bro, you're in for a long thing oo.

Don't turn to Jonah

You funny bro. But that's the whole truth you told him so. If he don't answer God, every thing he does will crumble and na suffer be that

MrSinister:

You just received your final warning!

Repent from all sin and live a holy life

That is the work of emotions and the brain. Whenever anybody has switched off from a particular religion or is no more serious about that religion. Anyday such person reflects about the past, his brain would go deep into where some memories of the past are stored and fetch him a suitable memory either to bring him back to that former religion or to threaten him.

How many bible passages of threats has been shoved over my face? Countless. Many of the urims of the bible come have come to me in mt sleep but because my emotion of fear has been removed, I was never moved.

In fact, my best nights are the nights when I sleep and see bible passages like "I will tear you up...I will bring the diseases of the Egyptians upon you...I will send the cankerworms, palmerworms, etc my armies after you..."

Wetin concern me. If they like they should send rains of arrows na them sabi.

is that what you think?!

But honestly, when I cast my mind back to several random events that have occurred in the recent past, I am led to believe that God has been trying to reach out to me! Several people have approached me in a strange way, telling me things. First one I can vividly remember was when a child playing on the street suddenly walked up to me and told me to give my life to Christ!!! I responded that I was already a Christian and the boy shook his head and walked away!

I advise you not to take this thing lightly. The message is a personal one to you. Don't take chances.

@OtemAtum

Well, I now see clearly that in your attempt to hold unto logic, you've totally abused logical reason.



Lemme start with, do you mind explaining to us what could've been responsible for picking Isaiah 5:5, out of say, a million verses in the Bible?

By the LAW OF PROBABILITY AND POSSIBLE OUTCOME, to randomly pick a single event out of a million narrows down to 1per Million.

Plus: I've not even addressed how large a human cerebrum is, and how much datas/informations he must have saved, in say, 20yrs of his existence. . . I hope you understand how narrowed down the possibility of the brain being responsible for this action is?

This points to no other fact save that there is an external cause for picking Isaiah 5:5.



Think about this.

@MrSinister

The passage given you is obvious and self-explanatory.

The story of Job explains Isaiah 5. Just that, in Job's case, it wasn't because of his sins that he was exposed to tortures from satan.




God's interested in you, He wants you to acknowledge Him and come into an intimate relationship with you.

You see, God has been keeping you since despite your unfaithfulness to Him, hoping that one day you'll return to Him.

But since that method isn't working, as you're in comfort zone(where God has caused you to be and upholding you there), He thought maybe if He withdraw a little, and let your enemy(satan) heat you a little, maybe then, you'll see a reason to come to Him.

You know, they say, "suffering makes one strong"

And it's a fact that beatings makes a child come back to it's right senses.


So, He'll just allow that for your own benefit.




My Big Aunty MzLady39 should have a word or two for you.

Lol @ (your big aunty)....
Well your aunty has a NEW moniker....."Ngo40".
MzLady39 has been put to rest...she is no more.
Out with the "old" & in with the "new"!
I don't know how in the world that you knew I would want to speak on this thread..but as soon as I saw it, I knew I was coming for this one......
However, it looks like you nailed it!
I'll see what I can add....if anything.

Brother,
If you are truly, truly sincere (and God knows whether you are), then look at all of those instances as Him pleading with you to come to Him....and surrender.
You have been shielded for a specific purpose....a divine calling that is tailor-made for you....and you alone.
Remember no one can love you or want to see you prosper more than your Heavenly Father....

"Most" of the males on here gave sound advice. So please think about what they said.....

First of all mr man, the verses of the bible aren't up to a million. Secondly, the same way you throw a stone and it lands exactly on just one particular spot out of a trillion spots on land is the same way your brain picks one out of the hundreds of threatning bible passages.

BTW, your question doesn't seem relevant. The brain works more on human feelings. Assuming the guy is thinking of deep sciences, his brain would also fetch him one out of a million scientific stuffs his brain has already stored. That's how the brain works. The brain didn't fetch any of our great great ancestors any bible passage because their brains has never stored such information before. They never heard about yahweh or fictitious Jesus so they never see bible passages all through their lives. It is gabbage in gabbage out. Many of them saw ifa incantations in their meditations and dreams because those were the things stored in their brains earlier.

Hello My Friend.
I believe it is a message for you Sir and you know it. You even know the interpretation but you wish it wasn't about you. You even know what you should do but you have been so far for so long to be sure of yourself and the adjustment you will have to make.

God is just telling you that ALL you are/have had been because of Him. You are being warned of the consequence of God withdrawing Himself.

Every soldier of God gets tired along the way and sometimes doubt gnaws at his soul like John the Baptist who had to send his disciples to Jesus to ask ..."should we wait for someone else?" He Baptized Jesus for Heavens sakes!

Return back to fellowship with God. Christianity isn't a religion, it is a relationship. There is no perfect church denomination but we need the church to survive.

Stay Blessed

Lets answer you with the Words of Jesus Christ...

Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
Luke:13:7-9

My dear, you are the beloved of the Lord. He had given you everything you need for life. Things many are crying to get, he has given to you, but you turn around and scorn him. For these years he had be silently watching you scorn, malign and scoff at Him, now it's warning time.

You shd be grateful he loves you enough to warn you. Most do not have this chance.
