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.

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...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
