HIS VOICE 2

Text : John 10:3.

 *To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.* 

We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured. 

Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep. 

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, *and leadeth them out.* John 10:3.

 *The essence of His call in your life is so He can lead you.*  He called you so He can lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you. 

Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*  

 *The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to.*  Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom of Christ or the power of darkness. 

 ```Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:``` Colossians  1:13.

So, for us that belong to the Kingdom of Christ,  we must allow His Spirit to lead us. Psalms 23 says The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: *he leads me beside the still waters.*  The Shepherd is to lead while you are to follow. Note that He will always lead you beside the still waters. While He is leading you, you must learn to trust His judgements.  The road may be rough but the destination is absolutely worth it.

The verse three of psalms 23 says *he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake*  .

The good shepherd desires to lead you in the ways of righteousness. This is the only way that can guarantee you  access into the kingdom of God.

He can only lead those who are willing to follow,  the good shepherd will never force His will on you. Do not refuse leadings this year. Wherever He leads, be humble and wise enough to follow. 


 *BIBLE READING* : John 10:1-18.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, I  receive the grace to follow you Wherever you lead me.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
