Learn To Know And Recognize His Voice For Yourself!



As we run the course of life, one thing that we must continually crave is the unadulterated spiritual milk of Christ (1Peter 2:2), so that we may continually grow as we offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God. As our spiritual man grows it becomes evidenced in our physical bodies. No wonder we battle with certain decisions because we are still infantile in our spiritual man. For instance, a growing spiritual man will not even consider going into marriage with an unbeliever no matter how much the circumstances weigh on such. The Bible tells us that we carry the Spirit of God in us as a deposit for the life to come (2Corinthians 1:22); it becomes ridiculous when such carrier is unable to recognize the spirit at work in another vessel. Friend, once your inside man is in agreement with God, the power of recognition is released to you. The way Jesus Christ recognized Nathanael and Elizabeth recognized and acknowledged the Baby in the womb of Mary before anyone knew about it so you would recognize who your spouse and or what decision you should make. If you still need someone to point this out for you, then how would you recognize and hear the trumpet sound on that DAY? If truly you have received Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior then you must enter the next level of knowing and recognizing Him. The pews are filled with believers that barely know or recognize the voice of the Lord they profess to worship. It is important in this age of deceit and falsehood to learn to know and recognize His voice by spending time with Him on a regular basis not just when there is a problem. Mary at a teenage age was able to recognize the Angel Gabriel as being from God despite the fact that his words were strange (Luke 1:26-38). Hannah recognized the voice of the Lord in Eli and left her praying position justified and convinced. Friend, we must feed and feed right like a new born infant. Have you noticed that newborn infants seem to always be hungry? So we must crave the Lord; He has promised that when we do this, we will be filled – even as we share with others that which He releases to us in order to be filled again and again. As we do this, He teaches us how to recognize His voice: “The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are instructed to know how to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens me each morning. He awakens my ear to listen like those being instructed. The Lord has opened my ear…” (Isaiah 50:4-5a). God bless you as you apply your hearts to His word.

The Quarry Site Experience

Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through the...

But You Did Not Learn Christ In This Way

       I remember meeting a man of God in his office after the Sunday Services in his Church. I, like many others that day needed a few minutes with him. I was there at the instruction of the LORD to deliver a message. As we were talking, one of his Church workers came in and gave him a note. His face lit up, and he was very excited. I saw that there were sets of numbers written. I thought the numbers represented those who gave their lives to Christ, because many came out during the Altar Call to give and rededicate their lives to the LORD Jesus Christ. No! Apparently, they represent the number of people in attendance at each of the three services with the corresponding money collections realised.         They were not concerned about the souls that came out hungry for God! I was saddened by their excitement. They were not excited about the souls that came into the Kingdom of God; rather, they were rejoicing about their egos, ranks and bank a...

...And His Name Was Nabal

       We live in a world that has short-term memory. The memory life span of many is so short, that mistakes and circumstances that brought them sorrow are repeated without a thought to the fact that what they are doing they had done before with dire consequences. As a result of this attitude, many have grown more wilful towards the things of God. One of the signs of the end time, according to 2 Timothy 3, is people being ungrateful. Being ungrateful means not showing gratitude for help, gifts or kindness they received; a feeling of entitlement to whatever they think they have received.         Being ungrateful is a state of mind that believes that the good things that happen to them is deserving, and they do not see any reason to be thankful for them. So was the case of a man named Nabal (which means 'Fool') in the Bible. He was a harsh and evil man in his dealings, yet a very wealthy man in the region he lived in. From the account of his l...
