FOLLOWING GOD'S VOICE II

"And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice." 1 Kings 19:12

Glory to God! God speaks, and God wants to speak to us. When we gave our heart to Jesus, the Spirit of the Lord came into our heart and renewed our souls; that was how we became born again. Being born again is being born with the ability to hear God's voice. Yesterday, we started on the subject of hearing God's voice; today, we will go even further into the subject. Hearing God's voice begins with being surrendered as a sheep following the shepherd. The voice of God can save you many years of fruitless labour. One of the challenges people are confronted with is knowing what to do. Even the subject about purpose is predicated on our ability to train ourselves to hear God's voice. God is always speaking; you are not just hearing Him, or rather, you don't feel like you are hearing Him. Let's discuss another important way God speaks: 'The still small voice'. Have you ever been in a place or in church and someone said the Lord just spoke to me now, and you didn't hear anything? You are wondering, is this person for real? I didn't hear anything; if God truly spoke to you, I should have heard Him because His voice will thunder through this entire place. But usually it is not always so. God speaks through the still small voice. 

Elijah had just prevailed over the prophet of Baal, and Ahab the king told Jezebel all that Elijah did, and his wife became furious and sent a message to threaten Elijah that she was going to kill him in 24 hours. Elijah knew the woman was not joking and decided to run for his life. While in his journey the Lord came to speak to him, and there was a wind which broke through a mountain, but God's voice was not in it, an earthquake came, and His voice was not in it either. Then came the still small voice. This is where many people missed it; they always think God will come in a dramatic way when He wants to speak to them. Many times God has spoken to you; you didn't just believe that God was the one speaking, you thought it was your thought. Don't you know you have become one with the Spirit of God when you were born again? And the direct way God speaks to you will be by His Spirit on the inside of you? The Holy Spirit is God's voice to you, resident on your inside. Learn to train yourself to take heed of what is nudging you from within, the tension you feel, the unease over a situation, and the still small voice that didn't thunder, but you heard it. That's the voice of God. It takes training to follow God's voice; the earlier you start, the earlier you grow in it. Start listening within. Hallelujah!!!

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

  1. Am I quiet and surrendered enough to recognise the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit within me?
  2. What instruction or prompting from God have I sensed recently, and am I willing to obey it?

PRAYERS
Father, thank You for Your word. Teach me to recognise Your voice, quiet my hearts, and follow the leading of Your Spirit in Jesus's name. Amen.

DAILY ENCOUNTER AUGUST 2ND, 2026 THE POWER OF FELLOWSHIP "And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers." Acts 2:42 Glory to God! Fellowship is companionship. The ability to belong to the body of believers as a family.  Fellowship is one of the greatest gifts God gave to us as believers. The word 'fellowship' refers to a close relationship and shared participation among believers who are united in Christ. It is more than simply gathering together; it is sharing our lives and everything it entails with one another under the lordship of our Lord Jesus Christ.  God didn't design the Christian life to be lived in isolation. From our opening scripture, we saw that the early believers gave themselves to continual fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayers. They understood that spiritual growth is made possible through a community of shared faith and an environment where believers are encouraged and ...

DAILY ENCOUNTER AUGUST 1ST, 2026 DETOX "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."  Psalms 51:10 Glory to God! Welcome to the eighth month of the year. Let us take out time to give God praise today. He is good, and His mercy is forever. Today, as we begin the new month, we will be discussing a very important subject matter: DETOX! What does it mean to detox? It means cleansing. The act of subjecting oneself to purification. The process of removing unhealthy things and habits from our body, soul and spirit. Our actions are the product of our content. The content of our heart, through the things we feed on, is the determinant of our belief system and what eventually produces the outcome of our behaviours. From the beginning of the year, we have acted in certain ways and directions. The question before us today is, have our actions produced desired results, or have they subjected us to moving round circles? If you cannot measure your growth in strate...

DAILY ENCOUNTER AUGUST 3RD, 2026 PROVING THAT WHICH IS GOOD "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:2 Glory to God!  When we gave our heart to Jesus, we were brought into a new life in God, and that life is life in the Spirit. It is a life powered by God by His Spirit to know what is good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. One of the issues we have seen among believers is the issue of not knowing what God is doing. The issue of being confused as regards the leading of God concerning a given matter. But it is not supposed to be. We have the Holy Spirit resident on the inside of us; we should know His voice and walk according to His leading. So why is there an issue with knowing what the will of God is? The problem is the lack of transformation. From our opening scripture, we are open to what is known as the transformation of the mind. Th...
