'MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE', SAYS JESUS CHRIST - #4
The environment of man is under the atmosphere of many voices. These voices could be of your guardians or parents, the voices of friends, the voices of neighbours, the voices of your community, the voices in the city, the voices of tradition or culture, the voices of intellects, the voices at your workplace and so on. These categories of voices we hear, only cause us to respond and most likely embrace their beliefs, symbols, traditions and consultations which is a measure of our ways of interaction or level of socialization with them and it also has a major influence registered on our mind set.
At a certain point, we tend to accept the opinion of these voices and act accordingly. This has continued in man’s ways of life till now that it has become an accepted phenomenon he practices in his daily life. I call it a voice of 'trial and error', a voice of probability, a voice of instability and a voice of turbulence.
Yes, there is a Voice that surpasses every other voices of men on earth. A Voice of destination, a Voice of stability, a Voice of sustained achievement, a Voice of salvation and certainty, a Voice of life everlasting – Luke 9vs35; “As he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud”. This Voice I’m talking about is the Voice of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus said in John 10vs27; “My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me”.
The sheep referred to in the Bible verse quoted above are the people who are indeed the disciples of Jesus Christ. They hear His Voice according to His commands and instructions. Jesus Christ knows and recognizes His sheep that gives heed to His instructions and He is always happy to see how they consistently follow His instructions regardless of the trials and challenges along the way. Sure, the people who are not Jesus Christ’s disciples go after their own self-will, they hear not His voice and do not acknowledge His instructions.
My brothers and sisters, in the religious setting where we have the voices of pastors, the voices of prophets, the voices of priests, the voices of evangelists, the voices of traditional entities, family members, friends and so on, please always consider above all voices the real Voice which is Jesus Christ, the choosen and acceptable of God along.
The followers of Jesus Christ are His sheep. He only knows by them by their responses to His Voice (His instructions). I pray God bless His Word in the midst of our hearts in Jesus Christ name, amen. Let us continue to stay focused on Jesus Christ who is the Way, the Truth and the Life: that no one goes to God except through Him – John 14vs6.
