« In the past God spoke to our ancestors at many different times and in many different ways through the prophets »
Read Hebrews 1:1-2NLT
1 Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets.
2And now in these final days, He has spoken to us through His Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son He created the universe.
Yesterday, we started discussing the reality of God still speaking to His people, even to this present moment.
In today’s text, we read that though God spoke to His people through His prophets, now He speaks through His Son, Jesus Christ.
This is made possible through the Holy Spirit whom Jesus sent to the Church right from the day of Pentecost. He promised in John 14:26
« But the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you »
God still speaks to His people; no doubt about that.
We must however, pay close attention to the later part of the sentence – “to His people”.
In other words, God speaks only to His people.
Why only His people ?
It is because it is His people who hearken and act on His words.
God has no time to waste talking to those who will not do His bidding.
This is why Jesus Christ was fond of speaking to His disciples, whom He knew would abide by His words.
He said further, John 14:21NLT
« Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them” »
Beloved, there are a lot of blessings for those who hear from God.
- One of these blessings is that such people would avoid mistakes.
For example, the word of God to the people in Cornelius’ household was based on Peter’s ability to hear from God and his obedience to the instructions given to him Acts 10.
In the same vein, Philip’s ability to hear from God took him to the Gazan desert where he gained the soul of the Ethiopian eunuch, Acts 8:26-39.
For example, hearing from God can reveal the type of business you can do to prosper.
It can also help you know where to go, live, or what type of friends you should keep.
If you desire to hear from God directly, you must give your life to Christ and live wholly for Him.
Application – Have you been hearkening and living according to His words ?
