THE VOICE

-

Deuteronomy 13:4

Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him.


We live in a world that is full of noise.  A lot of things coming in from every corner. The social media, newspaper, television, internet, friends, passerbys, colleagues, family and even from some pulpits.


Many voices that come to us are not for our good, we must be sensitive and trained enough to resist all those voices and only receive that which is line with God's word. We must have a strong filter, the filter is the Word and the Spirit.


If you are to live in faith you should hear the voice of the Lord above all the noise.


Psalms 62:11

God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.


Jesus said His own will hear and thus they would follow Him, they would not follow another.


John 10:27

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:


So many things seek our attention.

* Some are very important

* Some are not that important

* Some are a mere distraction


As we go about our duties and roles, it is important to listen to the Father and He speaks to us through His Holy Spirit.


No wonder the character of the Holy Spirit is patience.


We must learn to patiently listen, because he would surely speak.


The love of God could seek your attention when you get so carried away or distracted, when you pay no attention or do not bother to listen to what He says, may we not miss it.


Oh what pain, if we need crises to make God get our attention: It is never sweet.


Some stay deaf to God till it is too late, and they have to leave the scene.


Luke 12:20

"But God said to him, 'You fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?'


He was too busy acquiring wealth, he must have listened to the analysis, the forecasters, he may have had so many advisers, even spiritual contractors.


God could have been speaking but he wouldn't have heard, so much noise had taken over.


Funny enough when he had finally calmed down, he heard the voice but it was too late.


THIS IS NOT FOR US!


We will hear His voice even in the midst of all the noise around us.


We will do His will.


And ofcourse He will direct us to prosper and succeed.


Yes we will.


We will stay tuned to the voice of the Lord God.


Have you read the word, have you worshipped, and have you prayed today?


PRAYER

Loving Father keep me tuned to Your frequency may no other noise overshadow Your voice to me. Help me listen and obey. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
