Topic: HIS VOICE
Prophet Dr. Amos Oyebanji
Whose voice are we talking about?
A voice is a sound that comes from the mouth. There are different kinds of voices, and we can recognise the voices of people we have become familiar with through relationships and communication.
The voice of the Lord is the way God speaks to us, either directly or indirectly.
How Do We Know the Voice of the Lord?
This is a general challenge among Christians. Just as we become familiar with the voices of people through our relationship with them, we can also become familiar with the voice of God through our relationship with Him.
We can recognise the voice of the Lord through:
- Our relationship with God
- The Word of God
- Putting all our hearts in the Lord
- Worshipping God in truth
Biblical Examples
1 Samuel 3:1–13 — Samuel initially did not recognise the voice of God because he had not yet become familiar with it. Through his relationship and service to God, he learned to recognise God's voice.
Genesis 3:8–10 — Adam heard the voice of the Lord and became afraid because of his disobedience.
Psalm 119:105 — God's Word serves as a lamp to guide us.
1 Corinthians 14:33 — God is not the author of confusion.
1 Kings 19:11–12 — Elijah experienced the voice of God not merely through the dramatic manifestations, but through the still small voice.
Exodus 15 — God's people experienced His mighty acts and responded in worship.
Psalm 29 — The chapter repeatedly speaks about the voice of the Lord and His power and majesty.
Key Thought
Knowing the voice of God requires a genuine relationship with God, familiarity with His Word, and a heart that is attentive to Him.
The closer we walk with God, the more we learn to recognise His voice.
