Topic: Do you hear his voice Part 2.
Bible Reading: Psalm 96-98; Romans 12.
Memory Verse: ”For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,” Psalm 95:7 (KJV) .
In continuation of yesterday’s message, God can speak to you through prophecy from another man of God or through the preaching of a message you are listening to. Also, God may speak to you in an audible voice just as if your neighbour is talking to you. The first time God spoke to me audibly, I was in a church and I looked around to see the person speaking to me but there was none before I realized it was God.
God can talk to you in any of these ways or even in another way but you will be able to discern his message to you if you have faith in Him and you spend time fellowshipping with Him regularly. You don’t have to be a church leader to hear Him. The only condition is that you must be His disciple. This is why the Psalmist says in Psalm 95:7 (KJV), “For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,”
When you are able to hear His voice, you will be able to ask Him questions when you need to make decisions in life. Besides, you will be confident and walk around in Joy. Some years ago, I was working in a bank and we had a problem with our regulator, the Central Bank Of Nigeria and there was palpable fear that our bank my be closed down but God had spoken to me concerning a future event of the bank. So when one of my Christian sisters came to me one day that she was afraid the bank may be closed, I confidently told her what God had spoken to me and that the bank would not be closed down.
Do you have unclear issues on hand, you need to seek the face of God on what to do. You should however note that hearing God’s voice does not preclude you from having challenges but you will be able to face it more confidently because your father will tell you the way forward. Remember God said in Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV), “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Go ahead and call on Him. If you are not born again, you need to repent of your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour for you to hear His voice regularly.
