Do You Hear What God Is Saying? II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

Greetings to you, dear friends!

Praise the Lord for this day that He has given us! I am grateful to God for another opportunity to be filled with His living Word!

Yesterday, we began to talk about whether we hear what God is saying to us.

We found out that we are continually hearing someone’s voice. The voice of our common sense is especially loud. God is Spirit; therefore, we cannot understand God with our minds.

Apart from the voice of our common sense, we often hear the voice of our feelings. Feelings, too, have a voice. But this voice does not always reflect what God is saying either. Our feelings change; quite often they depend on external factors – our mood, the weather, how tired we are, and so on. If we listen only to our feelings, we lose any chance of consistent success.

For instance, you may often feel lonely, weak, unloved, like a failure, and so on. Nevertheless, such feelings often do not correspond to reality. If you are led by your feelings and accept them as truth, you will not be able to enjoy the abundant life that God has prepared for you. God gives this life only to those who hear His voice and follow Him!

“My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of My hand.” (John 10:27-28).

In order to live a stable and happy life in God, it is important that you learn to ignore the voice of your feelings and listen to God’s voice. If the Word of God is the basis for every one of your actions, then your feelings will start to change and come into line with the truth of God’s Word, whatever those feelings might be. Feelings always follow our thoughts and submit to our right actions. Our feelings are servants, and they are subject to our will, decisions and actions.

Many people are led by the voice of their feelings; therefore they are not stable in God, and God cannot reach them and give them life in abundance. When you follow the voice of your feelings, Satan can often lead you away from God and from the right path. Those who follow the voice of their feelings often experience disappointment and depression. Allowing the voice of your feelings to lead you means putting yourself into difficult circumstances that you cannot cope with, instead of overcoming those circumstances.

We will continue this topic tomorrow, when we will learn which voices claim to rule over our lives and which of these voices is the only true voice.

With the peace of God!

    Many people expect miracle in their life and sometimes the waiting continues many years. I want to help you today to see that we should not wait for a miracle to come, but we need to call forth and cause these miracles. Any miracle that a person desires to experience in his life can be brought about by this person. It is possible that the miracle won’t come right away, but when you build the necessary (natural) platform for it, it will absolutely come into your life. And when it happens you will have undeniable proof for your faith and trust in the Lord.

It is enough to say it once for a responsible person to bear it in his mind.A responsible person records all important information, significant assignments or appointments. If nothing can be required of you because you keep forgetting things, it means you are irresponsible. There are people around us that say all the time, „Sorry, I forgot”. Such people usually are irresponsible and unreliable.

    I thank God for this day and believe that this day will be filled with the blessings from the Lord. Today I’d like to continue on the topic I talked about yesterday – the importance of unity. We saw that when you have a strong team every house will be built and every project will be completed. That kind of team will always achieve victory. In the Bible we see that Jesus also talked about the importance of unity.

    «All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…» (Mathew, 28:18-19).Jesus told us to walk through this life, being armed with the understanding that all God’s authority is behind us. The will of God for us contains prosperity, health, salvation (both for us personally and for our families), peace and harmony; the will of God is for all people to come to salvation and knowledge of truth. But too often we see discrepancies in many areas of our life. Those areas where the will of God is not fulfilled are actually ruled by the devil; somehow we have given him a place and control over these areas.

  • The more we collaborate with God, the more prophecies we will see fulfilled

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    What does it mean to be stirred? When such things happen due to the changes taking place in people and through people the latter can´t remain indifferent to God any more. Nowadays people live wrapped in their problems, immersed in their own world, as though there is no God at all. They use some duty phrases in their speech like “For God´s sake”, “Thanks God”, but there is no God in their hearts at all. It happens to them just because they have never experienced the real God in their lives. God is a care taking father. Such people have not felt how real the God is, how powerful and Almighty Creator He is.
