Why God does speaks to us and why is it so important for us to learn to hear His voice?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
 Good morning, dear friends! I thank God for another opportunity to share with you the word of wisdom from our Father God. We have already realised that God is alive and He speaks. We also saw all the advantages and privileges available to the people who have learned to hear and follow the instructions of God.Let’s now sum up all that we have been talking about for so long. So why God does speaks to us and why is it so important for us to learn to hear His voice? 
  1. To give us revelation about God (about Himself).
 First of all, God will speak to us in order to reveal the truth about Himself. If we fail to hear the voice of God we will never get Him to know well enough to become His friends. 
«Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God’s mountain, to Horeb. The angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. Moses said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. When Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, “Moses!Moses!” He said, “Here I am.” He said, “Don’t come close. Take off your sandals from off your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.” Moreover he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.». (Exodus 3:1-6).
 God introduced Himself to know Moses so as to reveal Himself to Moses. Moses would have never become such wonderful favourite, friend and servant of God without getting to know God personally. It’s impossible to get to know God without fellowship with Him. Fellowship, in turn, is impossible until you learn to hear God. That’s why the Bible says we are called to have fellowship with Him. We need to learn to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, so that we can have fellowship with God. 
«that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.». (1st John 1:3).
 By hearing God’s voice we get to know God deeper, thus becoming His friends. 
«God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord». (1st Corinthians 1:9).
 We all are called to have fellowship with the Father and the Son, Jesus Christ. Are you asking yourself the question: “What is my calling?” You need to understand, that fellowship with God is your first and foremost calling. It’s very important to understand, that you should seek the voice of the Holy Spirit not only when you need God to solve your problem or to help you make the right choice. The first reason to seek the voice of the Holy Spirit is so that you can get to know God and learn to fellowship with Him. God will speak to us, because He desires to have fellowship with us. Having learned to hear His voice we enjoy full-fledged fellowship with Him. First of all, God saved us for the purpose of having fellowship with Him. So we have to understand that the first reason why we have must learn hearing God’s voice is to have healthy fellowship with God, because that’s what God has created us for. We can hardly understand God if we can’t hear His voice. Without understanding Him we won’t be able to love and worship Him in the proper way either. When two people are in love with each other, they enjoy sharing their thoughts, experience, joy and sorrows with each other. They open their hearts before each other to share their deepest secrets. The Bible says God also have some secrets He wants to share with His children. 
« The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant». (Psalms 25:14).
 
« Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets». (Amos 3:7).
 God desires to become your Friend. God desires to reveal His secrets to you, so through them you can experience breakthrough and exaltation in your life. My challenge for you today is to delight in becoming a friend of God, begin to seek His face, get to know His word and have fellowship with Him! God bless you abundantly!  Rufus Ajiboye, pastor

    Prayer is the living breath of heaven. As believers, we can be givers and can be involved in many important activities; nevertheless, without prayer all this ‘work’ will lack the heavenly breath of life. Take a look at artificial flowers: they are beautiful, but have no aroma. We are able to do good works without prayer; but we have to realize that our works will lack the aroma of life, the footprints of heaven. If these flowers were alive, then they would smell.

  • Wrong motivation

    Spirit of competition .Some people are moved by the desire to prove to others what they can do. Those that are moved by this spirit can’t be still if they see someone else doing better than them. These people continually try to prove something to others, because they compare themselves to others all the time. They live according to someone else’s schedule since they do not have their own. The word of God said this is a wrong attitude:

  • Your gift will make room for you! II

    «A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men» (Proverbs, 18: 16).Studying the church history, we see that all of God’s generals didn’t start big. These people used what they had and did whatever they could. They began using the abilities they had. Eventually, their gifts found their place in the Body of Christ and grew into large ministries.For example, Dr. T.L. Osborn saw that people needed salvation, so he started meeting this need to the best of his ability: he started printing little tracts on his printing machine and went door to door leaving them in their post boxes. At the time he couldn’t even imagine that it will lead him to huge international evangelistic ministry that he has today.

  • Your attitude influences your progress

    The judgements, the beliefs, and the convictions of a person influence his attitude and this attitude has an effect on the progress we make.The man in the parable did not multiply his talent because he had the wrong attitude. This man believed lies rather than the truth. That is the lies which many people believe, which become an obstacle to their progress and development. The lies can go something like, “no one loves me”, then any attempt from people to show love towards you, will be rejected. A person believing in lies from the enemy will not be able to accept blessings, help, and advice from others, as all this would be misinterpreted.

    Today Abraham´s example shows us the way of life we should live in this world. It also helps us to understand the role of hope at the battle of the last days. Nothing in this world captured him nor temptation to become rich could influence his relationships with God, because he had the hope of salvation. Having the hope of salvation makes walking in faith easy nowadays. Regardless of what you have or lack you can easily rejoice even nowadays.

    Dear children of God, once again I welcome to „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”!We have established that God only comes when we have prepared the way for Him. We can do that by ministering to Him and fulfilling His calling in our lives. We pointed out that we have to use all possible means to preach the Gospel of Kingdom in this world, because that is the necessary prerequisite for the Coming of the Lord in glory and power. Let’s look at one more verse from the Scripture that talk about preparing the way of the Lord.
