HEARING FROM GOD

Memorise:
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. .. Isaiah 30:21

Read:
John 10:2-5

Message

Hearing is critical to all humans. For example, you will immediately know that you need to get out of the way when you hear the blare of a car's horn behind you. Beyond hearing in the physical, it is also critical for believers to be able to hear from God as we see in our memory verse.

Due to my training as a mathematician, I have learnt to delve into things that are not obvious. For instance, many Christians miss out on the fact that Elisha and Elijah were talking as they walked together in 2 Kings 2:11. When I studied that Scripture, I wondered what their discussion was about. Also, in Daniel 3, when the three Hebrew men were with the fourth man in the fire, what were they talking about? What did Jesus discuss with Moses and Elijah in Matthew 17:1-9? What was so crucial that they came down from heaven to discuss with Jesus? In 2 Corinthians 12:1-4, Paul said that he heard words that were not lawful for a man to speak. What were those words? In Revelation 10:4, John heard some things and wanted to write them down, but the angel told him they were not to be written; they were for his ears alone. What did he hear? I am really curious about these and many more of such conversations.

God made the world with words. Words are very powerful, especially when they come from God. The Bible says that the entrance of His word always brings light to the hearer and to situations (Psalm 119:130). You Cannot live an effective Christian life if you do not hear from God. The Bible teaches us that if you believe, you will See the glory of God (John 11:40). However, this faith Comes by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). Psalm 107:20 says, "He sent His word, and He healed and delivered them." The question is, how do you receive God's word?

To receive God's word effectively, ensure that nothing distracts you and that you are totally focused on listening to His word. Move away from distractions, so that you can hear exactly what God wants to say to you in that moment. Also, pray for God to open your spiritual ears so that you Can understand what is being said.

In Revelations 2:29, the Bible says that those that have ears should hear what the spirit is saying. You have spiritual ears; ensure that they are not deaf to what the spirit of God has to say to you at every point in time.

Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour

King James Version

John 10:2-5

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. [3] To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. [4] And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. [5] And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
RCCG Hymn

Pass me not, O gentle Saviour

  1. Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
    Hear my humble cry;
    While on others Thou art calling,
    Do not pass me by.

    2. Saviour, Saviour,
    Hear my humble cry;
    While on others Thou art calling.
    Do not pass me by.


  2. Let me, at Thy throne of mercy
    Find a sweet relief;
    Kneeling there in deep contrition,
    Help my unbelief
  3. Trusting only in Thy merit
    Would I seek Thy face
    Heal my wounded, broken spirit.
    Save me by Thy grace.
  4. Thou, the spring of all my comfort.
    More than life to me.
    Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
    Whom in heaven but Thee?
