HOW OFTEN DO WE HEAR GOD?
Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” John 10:27
Are you one of those who believes that hearing God is so difficult? If you are, the devil just has just lied to you. What the devil is convincing you to believe is that it is difficult to hear your earthly father when he speaks to you. Would you believe that? No of cause. What has happened to those of us who thinks that it is difficult to hear God is our unwillingness to act on what He demands or requested of us, when He speaks.
God speaks to us daily but most times what He is saying to us do not align with what we want we want to hear Him say to us especially in our peculiar circumstance. Think of a man who just bought a brand new car for the comfort of his family. Do you think such a man if he is not committed to obeying God will hear God, should God ask him to give that car out? Or, a young lady that has just got engaged to a man she‘s deeply in love with, if God should say to her; that man you just got engaged to is not your husband. Would she walk out of that relationship? Or a Pastor if God should say to him; leave the comfort of the city, your plush home and luxury cars and go do ministry in a remote village very far away from the city. Would he hear God on that?
I have used these three illustrations (though there are more), to say just one thing to us. How prepared are we to hear and act on what God has to say to us in 2021? Your answer will determine the extent you are willing to go with God in 2021.
Don’t be quick to give your answer. It might interest you to know that actually the answer you have is not for me or any other individual. You should talk it over with God. God is the one waiting for your answer.
Wishing every one of us a very Happy New Year. A New Year filled with hope and blessings from our God and Father who is the only potentate and worthy of our praise, worship and adoration forever and ever. Amen.
