God Has Spoken: But What Is The Concision?

By: Lionel C Batke

I've travelled with Lionel into many nations and have spent countless hours in his company. We've sheltered under banyan trees in the blistering heat of an Indian afternoon, ate sockeye salmon in Alert Bay, BC, been attacked by ravenous belly button sucking leaches in Sri Lanka, ate a hot dog in Indonesia, and supped ice-cold Guinness as we watched wild swans landing on the tranquil lakes of Killarney, Ireland. At least I supped Guinness, Lionel drank hot English tea. Lionel and I have been described as chalk and cheese. Perhaps our friend the Indian apostle Thampy said it best, when he told hundreds of Indian pastors we were 'a good combination'. Lionel with his gimlet eye deftly explaining deep biblical truths with a sharp spiritual scalpel that separates soul and spirit and I hang gliding with the Lord on the warm winds of dreams, visions, and prophecies. Lionel with both feet on the ground and me in mid-air. We both inhabit the prophetic realms though we rarely step on one another's toes. I'm a storyteller, a man of a thousand books. Lionel is a teacher, a man of one book. Lionel labours long and hard and daily mines priceless treasure from his beloved volume. Often his teaching, preaching, prophesying, and conversation contain rare key insights that suddenly unlock doors into new hallways and rooms of revelation. Such moments remind me of the proverb that says, A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.1Perhaps a more appropriate version might be, Like apples of gold in settings of silver, so is a word skilfully spoken. 2 Lionel's new book, God Has Spoken , is jam-packed with a lifetime's treasure of insight and revelation that has helped make Lionel one of Canada's most respected teachers of God's word at home and in the nations. Lionel is like the man Jesus affirmed, Every student of the Scriptures who becomes a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like someone who brings out new and old treasures from the storeroom.
