Hearing The Voice Of God

Watch
Listen

Unlike animals, God has created man from dust of the ground into a living being, one with soul, with spirit that can converse with God. Because man is constantly influenced by the voices in the spiritual realm, it is important to hear the right voice so that it shapes the disposition of our hearts. Often, we're subjected to the wrong voice, Satan's voice. The voice we hear draws us away from God, encouraging us to compromise on the truth we know, yielding to our own sovereignty and will. As a result, man are led into a living that is in total separation from God, not knowing their glorious identity and dignified purpose in life. They are made to reflect the glory of God. Through the message today, may we seek to hear the right voice of God through the inspired word of God henceforth, for the Word of God is constantly inspiring us, and giving us guidance. If we deliberately take notice of it, we will be able to discern His loving voice, and be led by it. The fear and uncertainties in the heart will dissipate as we submit to the right voice of God. May the voice of God shapes the inclination of our hearts today!

“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death” <Prov 14:12>. How true this is! Nobody would ever deliberately choose a path of failure and destruction. However, often, it was those seemingly harmless and “inconsequential” decisions that set us on a direction towards a regretful end. Indeed, we face many decisions and choices everyday; and some choices can affect us for a lifetime. For someone who truly believes in God, the most important decision one can make, is to choose God, over and over again, despite trials and temptations in our earthly living. Our own best choices and efforts can lead to futility, but only what God promises and provides will endure. May God enable us to always choose right and choose Him!

Verses to Read: <Genesis 13:5-18>

1. The choice that leads to failure.

* Lot: Carnal Christians

Choose by own analysis (wisdom) and flesh.
Perspective different (opposite) from God.
Some decisions seem inconsequential, but set a certain (tragic) life direction.
Bad choices come with consequences.
How do we compare to Lot?

2. The choice that leads to success.

A choice based on faith.
– Lot trusted own eyes; Abram trusted God.
– Best/wisest choice: Choose God over good conditions.
Faith gives rise to simple heart.
Abram could make blessed choice because of his daily blessed living.
– Prayer-centered living
Blessed choice >>> Blessed consequences.
