HEARING GOD'S VOICE 3

9^TH , MARCH 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 19, 20; Mark 14:43-72; Proverbs 6:30-35

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Samuel 5:17-25

17 Now when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went down to the stronghold. 

18 The Philistines also went and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim. 

19 So David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?”

And the Lord said to David, “Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.”

20 So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim. 

21 And they left their images there, and David and his men carried them away.

22 Then the Philistines went up once again and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim. 

23 Therefore David inquired of the Lord, and He said, “You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. 

24 And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then the Lord will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.” 

25 And David did so, as the Lord commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer.

THE MESSAGE:

Firstly, hearing God’s voice will make things to go right with you. How could David get such a clear message from God? He inquired from God in prayer. David fought the battle the way God instructed him to. So, beloved, if you want things to go right with you, inquire from God, listen to His guidance and follow it conscientiously. Secondly, hearing God’s voice will lead you to establish a deep and intimate relationship with Christ. He becomes your Shepherd and you, His sheep, leading you, feeding and guiding you through life.

In John 6:45, Jesus stressed the importance of not merely hearing His voice, but also obeying it. So when you hear His voice and do His bidding, you are immensely blessed. Without God’s leading, life will be hard and achievements impossible. But with His leading your life will be full of His purpose, provision and presence. Thirdly, God will guide you when you hear him, listen to Him and obey Him. To receive God’s guidance, you must acknowledge him in all your ways (Proverbs 3:5-6). Through this avenue, you come to realise and acknowledge His purpose for your life. This saves you from aimless wandering in the market square of life.

Also, hearing God’s word will give you comfort in distress. In 1Samuel 30:8, David inquired of the Lord in his distressed state. He heard God’s voice and He recovered all what the enemies had stolen from him. Beloved, whenever you are in distress, call on God; listen to His instructions to do them, and you will be victorious, in Jesus’ name.
