His Voice Devotional

Text : *1 Peter 3:10-11*   "He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it. Today, we shall begin to consider God's demands for those who truly love life, and who love to see good days.  *Life* in our study text is not referring to life which is the vital force which animates the body and shows itself in breathing. Life here is actually referring to the higher life which is  God's kind of life (Zoe). So, if you love God's life which is full of vitality and wholeness, and if you love to see good days then you must: 1.refrain your tongue from evil,  2.refrain your lips from speaking deceit.(hypocrisy). 3.turn away from evil and do good; and  4.seek peace and pursue it. The above are the four cardinal points to life and good days.  Firstly, God would have lovers of life and lovers of good days to refrain from speaking ev...

Text : Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Life has a way of shaking even the strongest foundations. Unexpected storms arise, fear, uncertainty, or pain—and we often find ourselves grasping for stability. But Psalm 46:1 offers a powerful truth: our stability is not found in our circumstances, but in our God. The Psalmist did not say God will provide us a place of refuge, he says, God is our refuge. How very comforting this is.  When the psalmist calls God our refuge, he paints the picture of a safe shelter—a fortress where we can run and find protection. In the ancient world, cities had fortified walls and strongholds where people could flee for safety during battle.  Likewise, God invites us to take refuge in Him when life feels overwhelming. He doesn’t merely offer peace from afar; He is the place of peace. The verse continues—He is also our strength. When our own strength runs dry, His power sustains us. He doesn’t just give us a po...

TEXT: Luke 5:13. “And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, ‘I will; be clean.’ And immediately the leprosy left him.” In Luke 5, we meet a man overwhelmed not just by disease, but by isolation. Leprosy in biblical times wasn’t just a health condition—it was a life sentence of exclusion. Lepers were untouchable, shunned from society, and left to suffer alone. But then comes Jesus. When the leper approached Jesus, he didn't demand healing—he simply says, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” That’s faith. He believed Jesus can heal, and he thrust himself to His mercy. Jesus in His response did something shocking: He touched him. Jesus could have healed with a word (which He  often did), but here, He chooses *touch* —a deliberate, compassionate gesture that spoke louder than words.  In that moment, Jesus defies cultural norms and religious barriers to affirm the man's dignity, worth, and belovedness. He said, “I will; be clean.” This is the heart of Jesus. ...

TEXT: Luke 5:5. Simon answered, “Master, we have worked hard all night and caught nothing. But if you say so, I’ll lower the nets.” Peter and his fellow fishermen were exhausted. They had spent the entire night doing what they knew best — fishing — yet their nets were empty. Their strength had failed, their skill had produced nothing, and their hopes were probably dashed. Then Jesus,  told them to do the very thing they had already tried: “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” From a human perspective, Jesus’ instruction made little or no sense. Daytime was not ideal for fishing, and they had already proven that no fish were to be found. Yet Peter responded with one of the most powerful declarations of faith in Scripture: “But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” That simple statement reveals deep trust. Peter chose to shift from relying on his experience to relying on Jesus’ authority. Obedience to Jesus didn’t erase Peter’s fatigue, but it positio...

TEXT: John 3:17. “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” The way some Christians go about their business, you will assume what they have received from the Lord is the ministry of condemnation. Beloved, this is strictly the devil's prerogative, don't have a share in it.  Revelation 12:10  says,  “For the accuser of our brethren… has been cast down, who accused them before our God day and night.” —  As children of God, we must never forget the nature of the kingdom we belong to. *Christ came not to condemn, but to save. His mission was to lift the fallen, heal the broken, and restore the lost. If we claim to follow Him, our words and actions should reflect His heart of mercy and grace.*  It is easy to point fingers at others, to highlight their weaknesses, or to remind them of their failures. But that is not the ministry God has given us. The ministry of condemnation does not belong to the ...

TEXT: 1 Corinthians 16:15  You know that Stephanas and his household were the first of the harvest of believers in Greece, and they are spending their lives in service to God's people. I urge you, dear brothers and sisters, Stephanas happened to be the first convert of Apostle Paul in Achaia. According to first Corinthians chapter  1 verse 16, Paul baptized only Stephanas and his household.  At the end of Apostle Paul's letter in first Corinthians chapter 16, he commended  Stephanas and two other saints who have committed and devoted themselves to ministering to the saints.  _I urge you, brethren—you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints—that you also submit to such, and to everyone who works and labors with us._ (1 Corinthians 16:15-16) Apostle Paul further emphasized the devotions of these three saints:   _I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fort...
