DISCERNING THE VOICE OF GOD

INTRODUCTION
Satan is a prankster. He is ever busy disguising himself as an angel of light.
He is ready to capitalize on our love of the Light in order to deceive.
He pretends and wants us to believe that he is good, truthful, loving and powerful. Christians must always be on guard against the deceitful methods of the enemy of our soul and his agents. It is very important to know how to differentiate the voice of the devil and The Voice of God.
1. WHAT MEN SAY OR WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS.
*Men of the world around you i.e. from your family, office, neighborhood, Church etc
have a lot say about you and the commands of your God.
*It is better to hearken to the voice of God rather than those of men, as men’s voices could be misleading and confusing and deadly. 1 Sam. 15:24, 1 Cor.14:10, 1 Pet. 1:24-25, Ps. 27:1, Ps. 118:6, Isa. 51:12-13, Prov. 29:25, John 17:14-17, Ex. 23:2, Acts. 4:18-19.
2.THE WORD OF GOD IS YES AND AMEN
*Our God has the final say in all situations and in everything.
*Whenever He says no, no one can say yes.
*And when He says Yes, no one can say no.
*However, before God’s final “no”, He gives men enough opportunity for repentance and reconciliation because He is plenteous in mercy.
1 Sam. 15:23, Isa. 46:9-11, Ps. 62:11, Isa. 40:27-29, 14:27, Psa. 103:8, 2 Cor. 1:3-4, Lamentations 3:37
CONCLUSION:
As we walk before the Lord in obedience and in faith, let us avoid the pitfall of those that were before us by taking heed to all that we have heard of Him.
