His Voice Devotional

Text :  Proverbs 29:1

"He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."

God speaks to us in many ways. He speaks through His Word, the Holy Spirit, through wise counsel from parents, pastors, friends, and at times, through  difficult circumstances. 

At times, He speaks to correct us. His correction is an expression of His love. His correction is meant to guide us away from danger and into His purpose.

Proverbs 29:1 warns against repeatedly rejecting corrections. A person who continually refuses to listen becomes spiritually hardened.

Over time, that stubbornness can lead to consequences that arrive suddenly and may be difficult to reverse. 

God is patient, but His warnings are not meant to be ignored indefinitely.
A teachable spirit is a mark of wisdom. Instead of becoming defensive when corrected, we should ask God to help us learn, and repent where necessary so we may grow in character. 

Ask yourself these sincere questions and provide sincere answers to them:-

Is there any correction from God that I have been ignoring?

How do I usually respond when someone lovingly points out my mistakes?

What practical step can I take today to obey God's instruction?

As you examine your heart today, check, Is there an area where God has been speaking to you? *Don't delay your response. Obedience today can prevent regret tomorrow.* 

 *Bible Reading:* 

1 Samuel 15:10-23.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father God,  thank You for loving me enough to correct me. Give me a humble and teachable heart that is willing to receive your instructions and corrections in Jesus name.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
