Title: God Still Speaks
Memorize: My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. John 10:27 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 3:9-10 (Nkjv)
[9] Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
[10] Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant hears.”
Message:
Many people wonder if it is possible to hear God speak in a world with so many voices. The key to hearing God’s voice is understanding His word because He often speaks through His word.
Everything God says to His children, collectively or individually, is based on His Word. Thus, if you study His word, His voice will become clearer to you even in the midst of all the noise and distractions in the world.
Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom…’’ Proverbs 4:20 also says, “My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart’’. If you keep God’s word in your heart, you will find it easy to recognise His voice.
Also, take a step further to meditate on His word continuously. When you meditate on God’s word, He will expand His word in your heart and in no time, you will be able to hear His voice audibly.
In addition, pray in the Holy Ghost often. This will help you to condition your spirit to recognise God’s voice.
Prayer Point:
Father, please help me to hear Your voice when you speak.
HYMN 7 – I AM THINE O LORD.
1.I am Thine, O Lord
I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Chorus:
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessd Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
3. Oh the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!
4. There are depths of love
that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy
that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee
