I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd. -John 10:16(NLT)
LISTEN TO HIS VOICE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you found the way that leads to your salvation?
Are you able to resist the devil’s ways and his temptations?
When you continue to cater to satisfy your own cravings
You are like a stray sheep who would not stop roaming.
The Shepherd cares especially for the lost ones
God loves them too and sent his one and only Son
When you heed to the voice of Jesus Christ
You will stop straying and have peace in your life.

Many Christian do not actually hear the voice of their Master. It took many years before I did or maybe I wasn’t aware as much as I was when I was a little girl. I was seven years old when I accepted Jesus in my life. I talked to him every single day and even though I can’t hear his voice literally, I have thoughts in my mind that comes as I tell him my troubles and pains. The bible says that those who believe in Christ, will be able to recognize and hear his voice. We have so many distractions in this world so we can hardly hear what he says.
PRAYER
Lord, let me learn silence and focus on you to be able to hear your voice.
REFLECTION
Share an instance when God’s voice is so clear to you.
