His Voice Devotional

Text: Philippians 1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Today, we shall begin to  look at the various operations of God's Grace and Peace upon the lives of His people, with Joseph as our first case study. Joseph was sold  by his brothers to the Ishmaelites, and he found himself in the house of Potiphar as a slave boy.  The scripture says, ".... Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there. The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.(Genesis 39:1-2). Joseph had just witnessed an experience that should have turned his whole life upside down, rather, the Lord prosperd him. The Lord was with him and he was successful... his master saw that the Lord was with him. (Genesis 39:2 & 3). This is Grace at work!  The presence of God in a man's life is sim...

Text: 2 Peter 1:2  Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, Every believer is saved by *grace* and brought into God's *peace*  the very moment he confesses Jesus as his Saviour and Lord. Today, we shall be looking at one way by which grace and peace can multiply in one's life.  The two scriptures below affirm that we have a measure of grace and peace at the point we were born into God's family. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:(Ephesians 2:8). Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:(Romans 5:1).  God's grace and peace can and should increase (multiply) in your life.  One of the ways to  experience multiplication of God's grace and peace is through knowledge. The knowledge of God and the Lord Jesus Christ is key and essential to growing in grace and peace. The knowledge referred to in our study text is...

Text: Philippians 1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. "... *Grace* to you and *peace* from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 1:7).  *Grace* be unto you, and *peace* , from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 1:3).  *Grace* be to you and *peace* from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.(2 Corinthians 1:2). Over 18 verses of Pauline's epistles prayerfully greeted the saints and believers with grace and peace. Apostle Paul was quite deliberate about this. This prayer of God's grace and peace upon your life actually means God's  presence over your life. There is no place on earth where you can find grace and peace except in God.  Jesus Christ once said that " *Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you...." (John 14:27).*  While the world can  offer you favour and Peace, God's unmerited Favour (grace) and Peace are not...

Text : John 6:12  “When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, ‘Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.’” The miracle of the five loaves and two fish is one of the most cherished stories in Scripture. We often focus on the moment Jesus multiplied the bread, feeding thousands with what should not have been enough for one person. But there is something quietly powerful in what happens afterward. “Gather the pieces… Let nothing be wasted.” Jesus, who had just displayed the  miracle of abundant provisions cared about the leftovers. This tells us something deep about His heart: 1. *Jesus values what we overlook.*  The fragments, small, ordinary, “insignificant matter”, are still precious to Him. The small pieces of our lives matter to God: The unseen acts of kindness, the prayers prayed in weakness, the moments of faithfulness when no one is watching will never go unnoticed by our God. He takes cognizance of what men easily disdain and H...

Text : Matthew 9:36.  *When he saw the crowds, he was deeply moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.*  We live in a hurting world. Ever since the fall of man, everyone has been damaged in one way or the other. The difference is, the degree of damage varies from person to person based on both internal and external factors. To rescue mankind from this gory state, God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ to redeem man from eternal corruption and damnation.  Now, anyone who is not born again falls into the category of the description that Jesus gave in our study text above. Anyone who is not born again is a troubled soul, a helpless being and a sheep without a shepherd. That someone goes to church does not exempt him or her from being troubled and helpless and essentially from being a sheep without a shepherd. The only way out is to have a  personal relationship with the good Shepherd. Very expressly, Jesus said ...

Text : Matthew 9:36. When he saw the crowds, he was deeply moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Today's devotional is expressly addressed to believers, -to those who identify as Children of God or as followers of Jesus Christ. My brothers and sisters, when you see the crowd, what exactly did you see? How do you perceive people? Have you ever been called to lead a group before? How did you relate with the people?  Have you ever worked among men who had no clue about who God is, how did you fare among them? As a true disciple (follower) of Christ, you are expected to feel the same thing your master felt when put in similar situation. When Jesus saw the crowd, He was moved with compassion. He didn't see an avenue to extort. He didn't see a platform to gloat or play God over the people. He was moved with compassion for them. When you see that scammer in your street, are you moved with compassion? When you see th...
