WHY SOME BELIEVERS HEAR GOD WHILE OTHERS DON'T|| Apostle Arome Osayi

Main Ideas / Lessons

1) Hearing God requires spiritual discipline and a “formula”

Believers should not let a full 24 hours pass without speaking in tongues for at least 2 hours.

God provides a “formula for sustenance” through God’s wisdom.

Hearing God becomes more reliable when you:

• Follow righteousness
• Seek the Lord intentionally
• Train your ability to hear
• Keep your spiritual receptacle “alive”

2) God calls people and uses them as “entry points” to implement His will

In a dark generation, God finds an “entry point” by calling people.

Dreams, visions, whispers, and revelation are described as part of a map for your next steps.

Only those “under Christ’s government” (i.e., submitted to God’s authority) are positioned to be used for earth-impacting purposes.

3) “Only those that seek the Lord” (not half-measures)

Don’t rely on other sources to help yourself.

The speaker emphasizes that long prayer should not be avoided; enduring prayer over time can open the spirit.

Great spiritual direction is presented as coming through patience + prayer + obedience, not excitement.

4) A biblical framework using Genesis 10–11: tribes, Babel, and confusion of comprehension

Genesis 10 is presented as genealogical/political “family tree” material:

• After the fall, God “worked with” three families: Shem, Ham, Japheth.
• The New Testament is referenced to connect descendants/roles:
  • Shem → connected to the Sanhedrin condemning Jesus
  • Japheth → connected to Pilate invoking tradition rather than formal law
  • Ham → connected to Simon of Cyrene carrying the cross

The speaker claims (via “personal study”) that:

• Japheth = 14 tribes
• Ham = 30 tribes
• Shem = 26 tribes
• Total = 70 tribes/nations

Genesis 11 (Babel) is interpreted as:

• Not merely “one language vs many languages,” but God interfering with comprehension.
• God “retrieves/restores” comprehension at Pentecost, so people hear in their own native languages.

5) Human government (Nimrod) and the need for God’s call

Genesis 11 introduces “human government” as an established system.

Nimrod is presented as a key figure (king) representing a replacement for God’s authority.

The speaker argues that after the fall, humans became independent from God, so human government filled the void.

God’s answer to this darkness is calling Abraham:

• God “could not do anything in the earth except he calls a man.”
• Abraham is positioned as the start of redemption protocol.
• Full redemption is said to be achieved in Christ (referenced via Galatians 3).

6) Abraham as a pattern for believers: exile-like isolation to learn “the language of dependence”

Isaiah 51 is cited: believers are told to follow after righteousness and look to Abraham as a prototype.

Abraham’s call includes:

• “Get thee out of thy country… kindred… father’s house”

Consequences described:

• Abraham becomes “without a country,” “without genealogy,” “without family,” and “without a surname/name of origin.”

The speaker explains this as intentional isolation:

• Abraham loses his “original language” over time.
• He learns a “language of dependence” and “language of faith.”
• God isolates you so you learn the necessary spiritual language.

7) Prayer as “turning on” prophetic guidance; destiny requires encounter

The speaker describes personal practices:

• 8 hours of prayer every Saturday
• Praying in tongues for the duration
• After about 2 years, he reports seeing things, sensing danger, and receiving direction through stirring/spiritual impressions.

Key principle:

Destiny does not take time; it takes encounter. You must make deliberate effort to stumble into encounter (through prayer and dependence).

8) Avoid “camping” in comfort/shade—stay in transit toward the map

Comfort is described as a temptation:

• Like Israel settling when they find water/wells.
• Or settling with shade/palm trees instead of moving toward the destination.

Personal examples mentioned:

• Moving into a cathedral and being told by Jesus: “Your place is not here.”
• Eventually resigning from a well-paying job and continuing spiritually focused direction.

9) Hearing God practically: direction comes through spiritual listening, not assumptions

There is no “shortcut” to divine direction:

• Starve the flesh
• Stuff the spirit
• Keep your spirit in “a mood of prayer”

Spiritual signals can be faint; believers may doubt what they first sense.

Because misdirection is possible, the speaker stresses the need for:

• Spiritual people
• Leaders for checking

Satan can waste your time when you are not living by God’s voice.

10) “Satnav” (as described) in Genesis 12: route involves burdens that teach

Abraham’s route is discussed as a learning path:

• Abraham passes through places like:
  • Shechem (Sikm/shoulder)
  • Mo (teacher) (speaker provides Hebrew meanings)

Meaning claimed:

• Shoulder = bearing burdens
• Teacher = God teaches you through that burden

The speaker extends this: burdens and challenges become the “teacher” that exposes secrets and builds capacity.

11) “Teach the Bible” as the speaker’s personal strategy/“secret”

After resigning from work, the speaker says God instructed him:

• “Teach the Bible.”

Reported outcomes:

• Global opportunities to teach
• Consistent provision (no lack while following the instruction)

Ministry replication and spiritual lineage:

• People in places like Taiwan followed the message
• They sought him as a spiritual father after seeing results

He emphasizes that teaching the Bible reconditions the spiritual atmosphere and releases anointings.

12) Practical methodology for hearing God (instructions)

The speaker provides step-by-step “practical lessons to hearing God”:

• Forget about troubles (or “lighten” yourself from them) so you can focus on God.
• Focus your mind and heart
  • If your mind wanders (e.g., to the fridge or buying something), bring it back.
  • Continue praying in tongues to regain steadiness.
• Use tongues as stabilization
  • Keep praying in tongues when your mind is not steady.
• When you need feedback/inquiry
  • “Harken” / ask God (modeled with “Harken unto me…”).
• Maintain a contrite heart
  • Jesus will not despise a contrite heart.

Additional “practice” details mentioned earlier in the talk include:

• Speaking in tongues at least 2 hours daily (and ideally keeping that rhythm).
• Committing to extended prayer to open the spirit (examples given: years; plus the speaker’s weekly schedule).
