“Do You Hear God”
Saturday, October 12, 2024Key Verse
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: John 10:27
Text — John 10:25-28
Message
When a mother gives birth to a new baby, she plays with him/her and even speaks to the baby at intervals. Though the baby cannot talk, the mother believes that he/she can hear and would respond as he/she grows. At salvation, we become children of God and can be likened to a new born. Just like a mother speaks to her baby, God speaks to us through different means.
He expects that as we grow, we can hear Him and respond to Him the way He desires. A baby that cannot hear the mother, is at a risk. The same applies to our relationship with God. God is our father and He knows what we need to grow spiritually. This is the reason why we should ask Him questions frequently and also wait to get answers from Him. God desires to speak to us just like He spoke to Samuel in the Bible, but we must also position ourselves and spend time with Him so that we can hear Him.
