Today’s Devotional

Oftentimes, some people hear voices that tell them what to do, especially when they are on the verge of making very important life decisions. As a son, you must judge the thoughts and voices you hear with the Word, even when such voices are “familiar.”

That the voice you heard, is familiar doesn’t necessarily mean it is of God. So, be wise, and know the difference between the voice that God sent to you and the voice of a stranger. A stranger will bring you a different message and lead you on the wrong path (See Deuteronomy 13:1-3).

Many times, people wish and hope that a stranger would confirm God’s message to them. They think it is more “supernatural” when someone they have never known confirms God’s Word to them. But that’s not God’s way of doing things.

God is most likely to send to you the one you’ve known, to confirm His Word to your spirit, and not the one that you have never known.

Therefore, always be sure that the voice you are harkening to or leading you, is the voice of God, or the voice of the one He has sent to you.

There is no true child of God who cannot know or recognise the voice of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27).

In our opening scripture, He said, “And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers” (John 10:5).

The problem with many Christians today is that they ignore His voice. That is not wisdom.

Listen to God’s voice and direction in His Word, because He will not speak to you out of His Word.

I pray for you that your decisions and direction of life will be determined by the voice of God, in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
