Hearing but not listening to God's word || MCGI topic review
Greetings!
Some people hear the word of God, but they listen not and this is because of what they trusted in and what they trusted in are those things that are made by men and turned to God, they are those things made of gold and silver.
These things are referred to as god, but one thing about these images is that they have ears but cannot hear, they have all the parts of the body but cannot even make use of these parts at all.
In the book of Psalms 115:4-8 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
They have hands, but they handle not: feet have them, but they walk not: neither speak them through their throat.
They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
In the above scriptural verse, Bro. Eli made us understand that those carving images have all the human organs but these organs in them have no function and this makes those who make and serve them to be like them and these are the set of people that hear the word of God according to Bro. Eli but cannot even listen to the word.
In conclusion, there's some people who hear the word of God but would not even listen as they have been likened to their gods.
Thanks for reading.
Listening is an essential communication skill. May God help to listen and do His will.
We must hear the word of God and obey him
Sometimes whenever we listen to God voice, we fail to obey that's why it looks like we just hear but we didn't listen
