His Voice Devotional

TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:12. “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” God is looking for willing vessels who will represent Him well here on earth. In a world where standards are falling and where compromise is common, believers are called to stand out as living examples of Christ. Apostle Paul instructed Timothy not to allow anyone to look down on him because of his youth. Instead of arguing, and proving himself by force, or seeking validation from men, Timothy was to prove his maturity through character. *Your lifestyle should silence criticism and not validate it.*  Being a good example begins with your words. What you say must reflect Christ. Speak life, speak truth, and speak with grace. Your conversation, that is, your daily conduct,  should align with your confession of faith.  *Christianity is not only what we declare in church; it is what we demonstrate at home, at work...

TEXT: Isaiah 40:31. “ But those who wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary;  they shall walk and not faint. As long as we live in this human body of flesh and blood, our strength will at times be exhausted.  Life’s pressures, responsibilities, disappointments, and daily struggles can drain even the strongest person. No one is immune to moments of weakness, fatigue, or discouragement. Therefore, everyone needs renewed strength in order to finish well and finish strong. Many people rely on different methods to remain energetic, youthful, and relevant. Physical exercise, motivational talks, social validation, or material success are some of these methods.  While these may help temporarily, the Word of God reminds us that even the youth,  those at their peak of physical energy, will still grow weary and faint.  Human strength has limits. However, there is a divine secret to unending ...

TEXT: Proverbs 10:19. “ Transgression is at work where people talk too much, but anyone who holds his tongue is prudent.” One important area you must intentionally work on in this new phase of your life is the use of your tongue.  Many destinies have been delayed, damaged, or completely diverted simply because of uncontrolled speech. If you truly desire to move to your next level, you must overcome the mountain of excessive talking and careless words. Talking too much can easily lead to saying the wrong things at the wrong time. *When words are not measured, wisdom often disappears, and sin finds an open door.*  The tongue is small, yet it has the power to build or destroy, to bless or to wound, and to attract favor or invite trouble. Proverbs 17:28 reminds us of that, “ *Even a fool is thought to be wise when he remains silent; he is considered discerning when he holds his tongue.”*  Silence, when necessary, is not weakness, it is wisdom. Knowing when to speak and when t...

TEXT: Job 42:7. After these words had been spoken by the LORD to Job, the LORD spoke to Eliphaz from Teman: “My anger is burning against you along with your two friends, since you haven’t spoken correctly about me, as did my servant Job. Have you taken time to carefully read the book of Job? When you do, you will notice how eloquently and intelligently Job’s friends spoke during his season of trials. Their speeches sounded wise and logical. In fact, many of their statements are often quoted today because they appear profound and philosophical. Yet, at the end of the entire ordeal, when God Himself stepped in to judge the matter, He plainly declared that these men had not spoken correctly about Him.  Their words, though polished and persuasive, did not truly represent the heart or the mind of God. This passage is a strong reminder that *sounding spiritual is not the same as being spiritually accurate.*  It is possible to speak confidently, quote scriptures, and still misreprese...

TEXT: Isaiah 10:15  Shall the ax boast itself against him who chops with it? Or shall the saw exalt itself against him who saws with it? As if a rod could wield itself against those who lift it up, Or as if a staff could lift up, [as if it were] not wood! No matter the power you wield, the wisdom and intelligence you display, the riches you possess; God is still  your source. While unbelievers may not know this, you as a believer must know that all that you have is from the LORD. There is nothing you have that you have not received from the LORD. Even those who seem to have gotten Power, riches and wisdom from the devil, the truth is: God is still the one who has given them the gift of life to enjoy whatever they think they have received from the devil. God is all in all. Hence, only Him must be acknowledged, revered, adored and worshipped. This knowledge must be well entrenched in your heart: God owns all that you've got and that all the blessings you've gotten come from Him....

TEXT: John 3:16  For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He even gave up His only begotten unique Son, so that whoever believes in trusts in, clings to, relies on Him shall not perish come to destruction, be lost but have eternal everlasting life. Today, all over the world, valentine is being celebrated as a symbol of love.  While there are different stories surrounding this celebration, the bottom line of the celebration is LOVE!  While Valentine's Day is about love, its celebration today is not so much about God's kind of love.  All sorts of artrocities and  immoralities are being committed in some quarters in the name of Love.  If the scripture says God is love (1John 4:8), then today should actually be a celebration of God's love for humanity. The problem however is that many are yet to understand what God's love is. I have often heard believers saying, "Love is not enough in relationship". If the kind of love you know is Agape, what m...
