His Voice Devotional

Text: Luke 15:31  "And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.  *Our ignorance is our mountain, there is no insurmountable mountain anywhere.* Although the  elder Son in Jesus' parable was not the focus, yet the Lord is highlighting few important learnings from his reactions towards his lost but found brother. The ignorance of the elder brother prevented him from rejoicing with the Father over his brother's return. When the elder Son heard about the kind of warmth welcome and party the Father  threw for his brother, he got angry, and refused to join the Father in the merriment. The Father had to come out just like He went out to meet the younger brother to also meet the elder brother and plead with him. His father enlightened him in order to clear off his ignorance. The Father said to him,  "'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. (Luke 15:31). Sometimes, you become jealous over  the success of certain...

Text: Luke 15:28  And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. We often preached messages upon messages about the son  that left his father, after he had received the portion of goods that he was entitled to. While the scriptures did not call him the prodigal son, many have simply tagged him as a prodigal son because of how he lived a riotous life outside his father's house.   And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.(Luke 15:13).  The elder Son in the bible reading represents those in God's house (God's kingdom) who did not depart from God like the younger brother.  The elder brother, when he realized that his lost brother had returned home, he became very angry and refused to join the party. His father had to come out to plead with him. There are many elder brothers out there who are always angry about those ...

Text: Luke 15:32.  *But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life. He was lost and has been found.’”*  In Luke chapter fifteen, Jesus told the story of the loving Father. From this story, it's clear that we have two kinds of people in the Church depicted by two brothers. The first, which is generally known as the prodigal son represents the  backsliding Christians, and the second who was referred to as 'the elder brother' represents the religious Christians.  Note that the prodigal son was not an unbeliever. He was a son to the Father. He was a son who strayed away from God. He squanders his inheritance, experiences hardship, and eventually came to the realization of his sins and requests to be a hired servant. His humility and repentance led to a joyous reunion with his father, who embraces him back as a son. The Father gladly declared that His son was lost and found. He received him with open arms and jubilati...

Text: John 2:3  And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine.". Our Lord *Jesus Christ attended all kinds of events except Funeral service.* He does not celebrate the dead in anyway. If he should attend any funeral service, He would have disappointed many mourners who use funeral ceremony as a means of making money and for display of self-indulgence lifestyle. Thank God the scripture clearly recorded Jesus' utmost interest in marriage. He honoured an invitation for wedding in Cana Galilee. alongside with his disciples. Along the line, the wine got finished. This singular incident could halt the merriment of the occasion, and it would certainly bring shame to the groom and by extension to the bride and their families. Perhaps, while the master of ceremony (MC) was trying to manage the situation, Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ got wind of the information that the wine has finished! She quickly met with Jesus secretly and told him abou...

Text: Luke  16:10   He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. When Andrew found the little boy  with five loaves of bread and two fishes, he brought the boy to Jesus saying,  "There is a lad here, which has five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?"  Though Andrew had found the solution that could feed about 5,000 men, but he could not believe that the little supply could feed the vast multitude. Jesus only needed your token of faith in order to supply the miracle you are expecting. You will recall that the widow of Zarephat was only gathering a few sticks to cook her last meal, eat and die with her son. But Elijah commanded the woman to bring him a little water in a vessel and a morsel of bread in her hand. The widow obeyed Prophet Elijah. Thereafter, the prophet blessed the widow for the water . The prophet declared that the bin of flour ...

Text: Luke  16:10   He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Many are often tempted to think that little things should be despised and handled carelessly, and that when big things come, they will handle it more carefully. Such people despise small duties. When they are given a position to lead few people they do not lead them with all seriousness.They spend any little money that come to them lavishly, hoping that bigger money is on the way. They despise  people that seem not to be important in the society. They despise people that are not famous or rich. They disregard  the men of God around them thinking that they are not as popular, powerful,  and anointed as the popular ones on the social media. The way man thinks is not the way God thinks. That's the reason the scripture says "...my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as ...
