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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
