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

    After Jesus left the earth and ascended to heaven, He commissioned us to be His ambassadors or the sent ones (His representatives) on the earth. So we must understand and receive a profound revelation concerning the spiritual authority and power that we have in Christ. The Bible says that Christ made us kings and priests in order that we can reign on earth for Him. It is God, our heavenly Father desires that we all to be busy about His business. His business is to reconcile people with Him. God desires to do the work of reconciliation through us – «we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God». He wants us to declare the word of reconciliation. « God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation » (2 Corinthians, 5:19).

  • Concentrate on the reward, not on the pain and discomfort

    In order for us to seize the potential advantages that are hidden in pain and sufferings, we must learn the true nature and essence of sufferings. Firstly, our present pains are temporary comparing to eternal torture that awaits every person who lives a life of compromise in pursuit of personal comfort. Secondly, our present pain is light comparing to the glory of God that awaits every person who endures pains with dignity. By going through the temporary sufferings, we gain eternal glory and joy. Temporary sufferings multiply our eternal glory if endured with the right attitude.
