What makes a man unresponsive to God is the effect of death. What makes hearing boring or the hope of eternal life elusive is a result of the working of death. The day man was first created it was not so. Every man is without strength.

Romans 5:1-5

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Rom 5:3  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 

And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 

A man cannot stand without Grace. Hope is also strength. The hope here doesn’t mean the hope of a better tomorrow. There is a hope for which Jesus died which should be the anchor of the soul. There is a veil that has prevented men from entering into the hope. Every man that has not received this hope is without strength. If we were weak when Jesus died then the reason for his death was to give us strength. God is meant to be our strength; the day man was created, his strength was supposed to be God because he was not supposed to have any other strength. Man was made for God. The problem of men is that death has worked wickedness. This is why man must connect to a Life which will restore strength back to him.

1 Corinthians 15:42

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 

God is not afraid to take a weak man. In Christ we are supposed to be sown for a new person to be born. A man that is strong does not need resurrection because it is for weak people. Some believers are already too strong for resurrection power. A soul has to be taught over and again for resurrection to be activated in him because all men are dead but if the hope is clear, there is an attitude of heart by which we will hear.

We should come against all odds to draw from the well of Life. Every man is faint. The strongest resolutions on earth were not made by men who were well fed because being well fed is not what determines strength. The strength of man lies in his will which Satan now governs. The will of man is his weakness. God has to be received to the point where he can will in us to do his pleasure. We cannot will and do God by our own self. We must have to hear well enough to achieve this. Nobody can will or desire God naturally. Our longings for God most times don’t last but we will come to a point where our longings will last as a result of much hearing. Death prevents us from piercing through the veil. When we find death at work in our members or environment we should cry out for help. It takes the energy of the Spirit to create a habitat suitable for our growth. God can enable us to create an atmosphere of life where people would come to and contact Life.

Pleasing God and doing his Will is no longer natural with man. The devil has done something in man he is so sure that no one would escape from but Strength is coming back to the Church. We must cultivate hunger. When we think upon God long enough, we will begin to desire him; for this is how we cultivate our hunger. Romans 2:7. God doesn’t come to any man who doesn’t desire him. We find help to desire him. Amen!
