His Voice Devotional

TEXT: 2 Timothy 3:5. “ Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such, turn away.” Apostle Paul, writing to Timothy, warned about a dangerous trend that would characterize the last days. In Second Timothy 3:5, he concluded that people living out these signs of the end time would maintain an outward appearance of godliness but lack its transforming power. This is a sobering reminder that Christianity is not merely about religious activities, church attendance, or spiritual vocabularies, it is about having a working  relationship with Christ that produces real change. The phrase “form of godliness” suggests external religion without internal transformation. It is possible to sing worship songs, quote scriptures, and even serve in ministry, yet resist the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. The power of godliness is the power that convicts of sin, renews the mind, breaks sinful habits, and produces the fruit of the Spirit. When the power of God is at work in a b...

TEXT: 2 Timothy 3:1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. What King James version of the bible refers to as 'perilous' is also known as difficult times. So, don't be perturbed, if you are aware that we are in the last days, then you should know that we are in difficult times. A number of features characterised this difficult times. Now, it is your responsibility to ensure that you are not caught in any of these features. Number one on the list as we have it in our Bible reading is self -love. Our world today is canvasing seriously for this self-love. Some years back, people celebrate you on your birthday, but today, we see things like "happy birthday to me". "I celebrate myself today", and so on. Now, it is good to have healthy self-love, which includes taking care of yourself, and knowing your worth in God. But to go overboard is to become a lover of self above God. To be a “lover of self” means to have an excessive, unhealth...

TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:1. “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.” One major warning from the Spirit of God concerning these last days is the danger of deception. While speaking in Gospel of Matthew 24 about the signs of the end of the age, Jesus said, “Take heed that no one deceives you. *For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”* (Matthew 24:4–5). It should not surprise you that there are many false prophets and teachers in these last days, they are simply fulfilling prophecy. However, what you must guard against is becoming one of the many who are deceived. One major tool of deception is false teachings. The Word of God describes such teachings as doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1). Beloved, beware. The devil is not trying to deceive those who already belong to him,  they are already captured. His target is God’s children. And one of his quic...

TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:1.  “ Now the Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. The Spirit of God is speaking expressly, clearly, and specifically. The question is: Are you hearing clearly? One of the unmistakable warnings about the last days is that many will abandon the faith. This departure from faith will not always be dramatic or sudden; sometimes it begins subtly, - a compromise here, a neglected prayer life there, a gradual tolerance for falsehood and so on.  *To ignore what the Spirit is saying is to place yourself at a spiritual disadvantage point.* When God warns, it is not to frighten you but to prepare and preserve you. The first caution here is against abandoning your faith. Faith is not passive; it must be guarded and nurtured. The Bible tells us in Jude 1:3 to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” 'Contending' implies efforts, vigilan...

Text: Romans 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The mind is the centre of thoughts, the seat of emotions, the storehouse of memory, and the source of imagination. It produces all these with the help of your brain activity. The mind refers to  the thoughts, feelings and consciousness that arise from the brain's activity.  The brain is like the computer hardware, while the mind is the software. You can see and touch the computer hardware but you can't touch the software. That's the best analogy for the operations of your brain and your mind. So, when you see a mad man, people will often say, he's lost his mind. The brain (hardware) is there, but the mind(software) is no longer functioning well anymore.  *When you want to change a man's life, you need to change his mind - his centre of thought* . The scripture sometimes use the heart...

Text : 1 Peter 2:24  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed. Just as Jesus bore our sins in his own body on the tree, so also he took our infirmities and bare our Sicknesses. (Matthew 8:17). The scripture says you were healed because your healing already took place thousands of years ago. All you have to do now is to take delivery of your healing. Once upon a time, a man sick of palsy was brought to Jesus to be healed.  Jesus said to him, Son, be of good cheer, you have been forgiven of your sins. When the Scribes heard this, they said within themselves, this man blasphemes. (Matthew 9:1-3). It's obvious from the above that the Scribes ascribed the power to forgive sins only to God. Our Lord Jesus Christ then replied the people: "...That you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earth," he said to the sick of the palsy, "arise, take u...
