Title: Hearing God
Memorize: Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David. Isaiah 55:3 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading (Nkjv): Psalm 29:3-9
[3] The voice of the Lord is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The Lord is over many waters.
[4] The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
[5] The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars, Yes, the Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon.
[6] He makes them also skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.
[7] The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire.
[8] The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; The Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.
[9] The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth, And strips the forests bare; And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”
Message:
I was merely a mathematician before God anointed me as a pastor.
What would a mathematician possibly have to say that can profit you if God is not speaking through him
My life and ministry are built on what God says.
My ears are always open to Him because when He speaks, power is at work. Ecclesiastes 8:4 says where the word of a king is, there is power.
In The Redeemed Christian Church of God, we have seen great miracles – the dead coming back to life, blind eyes opening, women without wombs conceiving and delivering babies, and many other great testimonies, only because God speaks and power follows.
Believe me honestly, the only way to live an abundant life is to be able to hear God’s voice. I pity people who cannot hear or do not even know God.
A believer that cannot hear God cannot work miracles, neither can he or she escape the traps of the devil.
John 6:68 says it clearly: Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
You cannot live without the spoken word of God. As a matter of fact, man was created to live by the word of God (Mathew 4:4).
This is why the Bible must be your daily companion.
The Bible is my favorite book because it has made me relevant to my generation. I will continue to read it so that God can do more in and through me.
You must also ensure that you choose carefully those you listen to. If you can hear God but listen to people who cannot, they will surely mislead you.
Who are the people you go to for advice? Who are the people you depend on for correction? Proverbs 13:20 says a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
If your heart is pure and you haven’t heard from God, you need to pray until God opens your ears to hear Him.
Set yourself apart and seek to hear God (Habakkuk 2:1). Your soul will live only by what you hear.
Your future and the fulfillment of your destiny depend on what you do with the instructions you receive from God. Hear life and live.
Action Point:
Fast for three days and pray to the Lord to open your ears so you can hear Him.
HYMN 10: IN CHRIST ALONE
1 In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
2 In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
3 Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
4 No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
