RESTORATION TODAY
WEDNESDAY 5TH APRIL 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: HEARING GOD'S VOICE.
For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness?. Psalm 95: 7 - 8.
Two believers can pray about an issue and hear God's voice differently on the issue. If we want to hear God's voice clearly, we must first address those things that affect how well we listen.
Our Relationship With God. The Father speaks differently to the unsaved than He does to Christians. Though God never changes, He conveys His message to individual believers on the basis of their spiritual maturity and unique situations. So two people may hear dissimilar things because they are at different points on the journey.
Our Understanding Of Who God Is. How we view the Lord changes the way we hear Him. For example, if you see God as a loving Father, you will hear His encouraging voice and accept His loving discipline. But if you see Him as harsh and demanding, then you may feel as though you can never live up to His expectations.
Our attitude toward God. If we come to the Lord with a proud nature, we will naturally not be inclined to hear His voice.
However, if we come with a submissive nature, we will hear and joyfully receive His Word. God is still speaking in the world today. Stop and think about what there is in your own life that could get in the way of His message.
ACTION POINTS
