His Voice Devotional

Text :  Luke 10:39.

"She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what He said."

A true follower of the LORD Jesus Christ must embrace friendship with Jesus Christ on a three-level platform. As such, a follower must be a Worker, Worshipper, and Waiter. 

We have looked at a  Worker and a Worshipper. Today, we shall be considering who a Waiter is.

The three friends of Jesus are Worker (Martha), Worshipper(Mary) and Waiter(Lazarus).

Lazarus had died, and he had no hope of rising again until and unless Jesus came for him. Lazarus was a friend to Jesus and he loved him. 

These things said he: and after that he said unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.(John  11:11). A Waiter is anyone who always waits on Jesus Christ for help and deliverance. 

A Waiter is one who believes in God and makes no haste. *"...He that believes shall not make haste" (Isaiah 28:16).* A Waiter believes to the very point of seeing God's glory. (John 11:41). *All that matters to a Waiter is God's Glory. It is God's glory or nothing else.* This is because a Waiter can be likened to a dead person. He always waits on God. A Waiter  does not look for his own things but for God's.

Jesus got the message from Lazarus before he eventually died. Lazarus must have therefore patiently waited for his healer to come. Lazarus waited on Jesus, believing that He would come and heal. In a glorious style, Jesus did not show up to heal him but he showed up to raise him from the dead. A Waiter is not even afraid of death, because he knows that his LORD reigns over death and grave.

As a waiter, you are not just a believer, but an ardent believer in the LORD Jesus Christ. The book of Hebrews chapter 11 is a book of waiters.

Sara who received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised, is a waiter.(Hebrews  11:11)

The women who received their dead raised to life again: and others who were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection are all waiters:(Hebrews  11:35).

Abraham, when he who offered up Isaac: his only begotten son,is a waiter. (Hebrews  11:17).

And finally, our Lord Jesus Christ trusted and patiently waited on the Father God to raise him up on the third day as promised. 

Praise God, the LORD did raise Him from the grave on the third day.

Are you also waiting on God? Are you a waiter
If you did wait on Him, He will certainly come through for you.

 *Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.(Psalms  27:14).* 


 *Bible Reading:* 

Hebrews 11:11-37

 **PRAYER FOCUS** 

Father Lord, create in me a heart that patiently waits on you always.

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...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
