KNOW THE SHEPHERD'S VOICE

As we take on each day of our lives, we sometimes find ourselves stuck in some situations or some emotions. There were times when I questioned God why all this happens. Why do I not find myself moving forward although the days just go by? In those moments of our life we just feel as though we have lost our way and just can’t hear the voice of god in our lives. In those places of our lives we just feel as though we are in the middle of nowhere. Maybe as you are reading this, you are in one of those moments of your life. But I want to encourage you and say that there is still hope in Jesus and that this situation is so much different when we see it from “God’s eye view”.

Let me explain what I really mean by “God’s eye view”.
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.                                                                                                           John 10:4                                      
This is how God sees your life- He puts you through rough and hard times in your life that you will know His voice and that you will know Him. If we do not go through the hard times we may still KNOW ABOUT God but we will never KNOW God. Sometimes we think we know God just because we know all the stories and facts that are written about this GOD. But, unless and until we are put through the test we will never know God personally. Only if you know God personally will you not go astray as you will know God inside out. God’s intention is not to harm you but to make you prosperous and a better son or daughter in His Kingdom. 

 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
                                                Jeremiah 29:11  

God is taking you through the tough situations not to break your heart but to rather help you to trust in His voice alone, the shepherd’s voice. He wants you to trust in Him completely and be dependent on Him for anything and everything. The God we serve is a very jealous God and He will go to any extent to just be with you. He wants you to allow Him to be a big part of His life that you will go to Him for everything.

Just trust Him blindly and believe in Him because He will never make a mistake in your life as He is the one who has formed you in your mother’s womb and has perfected you in all your ways. He knows what is best for and when you will need what. Don’t hesitate to give your life to this amazing loving God cause He is all you will ever need.

! WORRY ! – YOU DON’T NEED THAT

Worry is an emotion that we cannot avoid in our lives, as there is always something in our lives to worry about. Everyone who is reading this is worrying or has been worrying because of the present situation of the world. With the rise of the pandemic in the world, everybody is worried about how they are going to get through another day. Worrying is something all of us do even in the absence of a worldwide pandemic. It is mostly a part of our lives and most of the times we don’t even recognize the fact that we are consumed by worry. We would even find ourselves in situations where we would not be able to do any work at house or where we study just because something else was running at the back of our mind that constantly kept bothering us. It may be some situation we couldn’t figure out a solution for. Anything for that matter it’s not about what keeps us worried but rather the fact that we choose to worry. Do you ever think that you could be someone whose life has everythin...

THE CALLING - Know your enemy

As we are in the journey of learning about ‘the calling’ God has kept over our lives, we need to know about our enemy. The enemy is the one who is always waiting to stop us from doing the will of God in our lives. Therefore, we must have a complete understanding of our enemy and his strategies. This will help us to overcome the oppositions and trials on our way that we may stand in our calling till the end.   Under this topic, I am going to talk, in a practical manner, on what are the things that the devil will bring on our way in the walk with God, how he does that and how to overcome it all. Firstly, let’s look into the solution before we go to the problem, but the truth is that you already know the answer to the problem. Well, if you are wondering what the solution is? The answer is- relationship with God. I have already explained in detail about the various aspects of this relationship we are to have with God. Let me remind you of the 3 things that happen in the relationship w...

THE CALLING - How to?

Welcome to this blog as I continue the series 'THE CALLING'. In the previous blog, we saw in-depth about what the calling of God is. In this blog, we are going to see how to walk in the calling of god over our lives. Now that we have understood ‘what’ the calling of God is and some of the important things about the calling of God over our lives, let us go to Matthew 7:21, where we saw Jesus saying that doing the will of God is the only way to enter heaven and If we read further, the scriptures say like this: On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’   But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’ Matthew 7:22-23 Here we see Jesus saying what He meant when He said ‘WILL OF GOD’ in the previous verse. In other terms, Jesus is saying how we are to stand and pursue the calling of God over our lives. In verse 22, Jesus says that just beca...
