His Voice Devotional

TEXT: Jeremiah 29:11. “For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for well-being, and not for calamity, in order to give you a future and a hope.” Our God is a detailed and meticulous God. He is so meticulous that the depth of His works is beyond human comprehension. Nothing about your life is random or overlooked.  Many times, the enemy may whisper, “You are just one out of billions; God may not really notice you.” But that is a lie from the pit of hell. You are not lost in the crowd with God. You are known, seen, and deeply valued by Him. When you reflect on how God formed you in your mother’s womb, you will realize that it takes an intentional Creator to create a being like a you. Your existence is not an accident; it is a divine design. In Psalm 139, David beautifully expressed this truth he says: *“For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderf...

TEXT: Jeremiah 29:11.  “ For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for well-being, and not for calamity, in order to give you a future and a hope.” You are not a product of chance. You did not just appear on earth by coincidence,  your existence is not an afterthought in God’s mind.  Long before you were formed in your mother’s womb, God already had you in His plans. (Jeremiah 1:5.). Heaven is not confused about your life; God is deliberate, detailed, and purposeful concerning you. Human beings may make mistakes, parents may err in decisions, doctors may give wrong reports, and society may label you incorrectly,  but none of these cancels God’s intention for your life.  What people call an error, God can turn into a testimony. What looks like a delay to men may actually be divine preparation in God’s agenda. You are never a mistake in the hands of a perfect Creator. There are seasons when life may seem to be working against you. Doors ...

TEXT: Proverbs 9:10. “ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding.” The fear of the Lord is not about being terrified of God; rather, it is about having deep reverence, honour, and respect for Him. It is an awareness of His greatness, His holiness, and His authority over our lives.  When a person truly fears God, their decisions, words, and actions begin to reflect that reverence. Such a life naturally attracts wisdom because wisdom begins where God is acknowledged. Knowledge of God goes beyond merely knowing about Him. It is not just head knowledge gained from books or sermons; it is experiential knowledge built through relationship, obedience, prayer, and meditation on His Word.   *Many people know scriptures, yet few truly know God.* True knowledge of God transforms the heart, renews the mind, and shapes character. Proverbs 2:2 tells us that “Making your ear attentive to wisdom, and turning your heart to understandin...

TEXT: Matthew 6:14&15  *For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.*  Tit for tat simply means responding to someone the same way they treat you. While God discourages tit for tat among His people. For instance first Thessalonians 5:15 says, "See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good...".  Jesus Christ, however, mentioned one specific area where God has chosen to do tit. It is quite scary to know that the forgiveness you will receive is directly proportional to the one you are willing to give to others.  God's mathematics shows that the measure of forgiveness you will receive is directly proportional to the one you are willing to give others.   *So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if you from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. (Mat...

TEXT: *Matthew 7:1  “Stop judging, so that you won’t be judged.” To judge means to pronounce an opinion concerning right and wrong. The Lord Jesus Christ does not want you to pronounce an opinion concerning others because of your limitations as a human. To keep this command of not judging others can be a very difficult task, except by the help of the Holy Spirit. We also need an understanding of the fact that everyone shall be accountable to God, who is their Maker and Master. So, the highest thing you could do for your brother when you perceive he is going in the wrong direction is to go to him personally if you can, or pray for him. You need to know that every single person shall stand before the Lord; hence, it is not your calling to be the judge of others. Apostle Paul warned the church in Rome not to judge one another based on preference for food or days of worship.  *“...why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand b...

TEXT: *Matthew 7:1*   “Stop judging, so that you won’t be judged.” Our text today is not a suggestion, it is a clear instruction from our Master, Jesus Christ Himself.  As simple and straightforward as this command sounds, it is one of the most difficult Christian virtues to consistently practice. Judging often comes naturally to us. We assess people by their actions, words, appearance, background, or even by what we think we know about their story.  Many times, we unconsciously place ourselves on a moral high ground, forgetting that we, too, are works in progress. At times , we use Scripture legalistically, not as a tool for love, correction, and restoration, but as a weapon to condemn and control. We quote verses to justify our opinions, yet we lack full understanding of the person, the struggle, or the season they are in. The truth is that: *only God sees the complete picture.  *We may see actions, but God sees motives.*   *We may see the present, b...
