RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **You Can Hear Him Every Day** Wednesday, December 23rd . Pastor Chris
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness…(2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Many people have problems in
their lives because they don’t listen to the Holy Spirit; they ignore
His counsel. They make important decisions, without ever consulting with
the Spirit. Some are in a quagmire; but if they’d be yielded to the
Spirit, all the misery in their lives will be gone. God is interested in
you being successful in every area of your life. He cares about the
minutest detail of your life. It’s therefore important that you seek His
counsel in all things.
The most beautiful part of it is that you
can hear His voice every day. He always wants to talk to you, and does
talk to you actually, even more than you want to hear His voice. The
problem is that many ignore His voice, and some don’t even know when He
speaks.
Now, understand this: Listening to the Holy Spirit doesn’t
mean you’re necessarily going to have a specific word from Him every
day; the complete Word is already given to you. He already gave you the
complete message in the Bible. That’s our instruction manual for life.
For you to hear Him every day, you have to study the Bible, and as you
do, you’d become more acquainted with Him, and familiar with His voice.
Remember, He’s the author of the Holy Scriptures.
The secret to
success in life is hearing God’s voice, and acting on His instructions.
You must learn to respond to Him the right way and promptly too! The
Lord Jesus said in John 10:27, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them,
and they follow me.” Now, observe what He says happens to those who
hear His voice: “…I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand” (John 10:28).
The Lord is protective of those who hear Him; those who receive His
instructions and act accordingly. Give attention to the Word in your
life. Don’t ignore His instructions, for they’re your life (Proverbs
4:13).
PRAYER
Dear Lord, your Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a
light unto my path. As I study your Word today, your perfect will is
unveiled to my spirit; wisdom comes to me, propelling me to act
accordingly. My ears are anointed to hear you, and my mind is anointed
to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: || Job 33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. ||
|| Proverbs 8:4-10 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons
of man. 5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an
understanding heart. 6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and
the opening of my lips shall be right things. 7 For my mouth shall speak
truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 8 All the words of
my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in
them. 9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them
that find knowledge. 10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and
knowledge rather than choice gold. ||
|| Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the
man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the
way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his
delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day
and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. ||
