God’s voice and your response to His voice are very determining for your life. God desires to communicate with you, and hearing his voice is a gift of grace that requires both faith and a receptive heart.

When Adam and Eve started their journey on earth they knew God in the form of His voice. When they sinned, it was the same voice that came to them. In fact the Bible says: “they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden” (Genesis 3:8). Did you notice it says, the voice of God came “walking”. The voice of God is God Himself, and God is the personality behind the voice; therefore, it’s so important that you give it the same reverence and value.

When you hear His voice in prayer, during consultation, through God’s men, or through your surroundings and circumstances, it’s pivotal that you pay heed to it, without any compromise whatsoever. Abraham heard God’s voice and followed Him and it was counted for Him as righteousness (ref. Genesis 26), the same goes for Noah (ref.Genesis 6). Moses set His gaze on the burning fire and God talked to him through His surrounding (Genesis 3). And time will fail us if we keep talking of the men of faith who achieved greatness by simply following the voice of God. Thus, you must check your attitude towards the voice of God, because that is what determines your altitude of Greatness in life.

Prayer:
Precious Father, I thank you for giving me the privilege to be called your son and hear your voice. I follow your voice, with all my heart, all my mind and all my being. In Jesus’ Name. Amen!

John and Judas Iscariot, were among the twelve disciples of Jesus. However, both were absolutely opposite in their character. John, who was also called John the divine, loved Jesus with all his heart. While Judas followed Jesus outwardly, but never followed Him with his heart.

Judas was the one who betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver (ref. Matthew 26:15). While John stood with Jesus even until he was hung on cross, so much so that Jesus gave the responsibility of his earthly mother, Mary also to John (ref. John 19:26-27).

While Judas died and was wiped out of God’s plan of eternity. John, was the apostle who taught the Church importantance of love and obedience. The epistle of John is powerful witness testimony of the divinity of Jesus. His love for Jesus oozes through his writing.

As a child of God, therefore, we must learn to follow God through all of our heart, our followership should not be a superficial demonstration but, an outcome of our true love for Him. All God wants is your heart, if your heart is for Him, everything that concerns your life will work in perfect harmony with God’s eternal plan for you.

Confession:
I keep my heart and mind stayed on my Lord, Jesus Christ. I refuse to be swayed by any person, idea or element of this world. I follow Jesus with all my heart, all my spirit and all my body. I have decided to follow Jesus, and I’m not turning back. Amen!!
