When did God last speak to you?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes

Greetings, dear friends, on this wonderful day! Every day God makes all things new, and His mercy is renewed every morning! We are continuing to talk about how important it is to be led by God’s Word and God’s voice.

In what ways does God speak to us? God has a variety of ways in which He talks to us. Most often, God speaks to us through His Word (the Bible). For some people it is easier to believe an angel who has come down from heaven than what is written in the Bible. God in His Word is much closer to us than an angel, yet we think little of the Word written in the Scriptures. God speaks to us through His Word. The Bible is a living book; it is God’s own Word, a Word that speaks. If we want to enjoy eternal life every day, then let the Word of God speak to you every day. Do not read the Bible as history, stories, or fiction that has nothing to do with your life today. Do not read the Bible as a word God spoke only to the Jews, but receive it as the Word God speaks personally to you today. And believe that God can speak to you from the pages of the Bible every day. God wants to lead you along the path on which you should walk. God speaks to us through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God; these are the two main ways in which God speaks. The Holy Spirit and the Word of God work together. The Holy Spirit is the author of the Word, and when we read the Bible, He enlightens us and gives us an inner witness. Usually this happens when we read the Word of God. But that is not the only time the Holy Spirit can speak to you. He can speak to you even when you are not praying or reading the Bible. If you have a close relationship with God, you will know His voice! When you pray, especially if you are baptized in the Holy Spirit and pray in tongues, your spirit is in fellowship with God, and there is an exchange between you and God. Therefore, even when you are not praying, what has been received into your spirit begins to express itself.

„No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” – but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:7-10)

God’s wisdom is intended to bring us glory. Jesus says that His Word is life, and life with Jesus is full of glory. Where does this life, full of God’s glory, come from? When we hear God’s wisdom and follow it, God gives us His glory. Those who dishonour God’s wisdom are headed toward shame.

So ask yourself: When did God last speak to you? When was the last time you heard God’s voice?

As you read the Word of God, you hear God’s voice, and the Holy Spirit speaks to you. God has a plan for us. If we live in this plan, we have life in abundance. But if we are not in God’s plan, we cannot enjoy this life. Outside of God’s plan there is no real life. We want to live in God’s plan, but God must reveal this plan to people through the Word of God and the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, you must love the Word of God and dwell in it every day, to draw strength and learn what God’s plan is for your life.

We will continue tomorrow!

With the love of God!

    We are talking about the importance of knowing and doing God’s will. Yesterday we talked about the fact that God reveals His plans and intentions to us gradually as we reach particular levels of maturity and grow in our ability to accept what He has prepared for us. We also established that God reveals His will to those who are close to Him, seek His will and are willing to do His will. God looks at what we do with what we already know, and only then He will reveal the next part of His plan for our lives.

    When we talk about changes, we talk about the condition of one’s heart. What others do to us does not come from us; it is directed towards us to test the condition of our hearts. Our reaction to the actions of others and the outside pressure determine the content of our hearts.«Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life» (Proverbs, 4:23).

    “Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing sheaves with him” (Psalm 126:5-6). This Scripture confirms that the one who sows and labours – even if it takes tears – will doubtlessly reap with joy. If we use our God given seed correctly, which means if we sow the seed even with tears then God promises us abundant harvest and lots of joy. All these parables of Jesus tell us of the kingdom of God.

    God so desires for us to seek Him early in the morning. He so desires for us to return to Him. He wants to heal us and to bind up our wounds. God so wants to revive and restore us, so that we could live before Him. When we seek the Lord, when we seek to know Him, He comes and immerses us into His presence; He pours out His rain on us and waters the earth.Yesterday we talked about how Moses set up a tabernacle outside the camp for all seekers of the Lord. We also saw that instead of entering the tabernacle and seeking the face of the Lord, Israelites were simply observing how Moses spoke to God and how God answered Moses.

  • We must prepare the way so that the Lord could come in glory and fullness!

    God has a way. He does not force Himself on people; He is the God of order. Until there will be a way prepared for God, He won’t come. Many of us would like for God to come, but He does not come without proper preparation. God goes where people are ready for His visitation. And when God comes, then all barriers are cast aside, the desert starts blooming, the mountains and hills are brought down, the valleys will be filled, the crooked places are made straight and the rough places are made smooth. God can show us the great picture of what He wants to do among us and through us as His people or the Church. But it will take a serious preparation and it will require of us to be very responsible.

  • Fight for the lives of your children, your family and friends!

    You know that in the history of revivals the key role was played by praying women, because God had given them the burden of prayer for the lives other people. Women know how to carry things that distress them and bear them before God. That is why prayer is one of the purposes of mothers. Mother’s prayers are so powerful! Mother’s prayer reaches the goal! Mother’s prayer brings freedom to her children! So if you are a mother, God expects unceasing prayers from you, until the necessary answer comes. Do not stop praying for your children. Children need your prayers, and other people need your prayers.
