READ: Matthew 13:10-17
The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them. :- Proverbs 20:12
People who have the gift of seeing and hearing consider preaching and teaching to be a joyful sound. They are happy to receive podcasts, videos, teaching tapes, sound bites, audio notes and preaching messages.
When you have this gift, God opens your ear to hearing in a certain way. Some churches have the grace to hear, so their members are into listening to preaching messages. Hearing and seeing are not just abilities of those who have eyes and ears but are special spiritual abilities from God.
God gives you the grace to see and to hear. It is important to notice people who both see and hear. There are people who have been given the divine ability to hear but cannot see. There are others who can see but cannot hear. Pray for the grace to see and hear. If you are not into seeing and hearing, you are not into ministry.
People who cannot physically see or hear cannot be taught anything at all. They cannot learn alphabets, they cannot count numbers, they cannot read and they cannot communicate. In the natural, the inability to see and hear is a serious handicap. That is why God seeks to give you the ability to see and to hear as a gift.
The grace to see and hear is evident when people teach and preach. You can always recognize a teacher who has been given a hearing ear and a seeing eye.
Blessed is the people that KNOW THE JOYFUL SOUND: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
Psalm 89:15
When you have learnt to soak in messages from the Word of God, you will discover a certain joy that others do not have.
