The voice of a man 2

“He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.” John 1:23

You are a voice to your generation. Your voice must be heard. Your voice has a place and a target. It cannot be confused with another. What gives a man a voice is the voice of God. You cannot become the voice you are supposed to be without your personal access to the voice of God. It takes the voice of God to make the voice of a man count among men. That is why you must be desperate for God.

“And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.” Acts 12:22-23

“And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.” Exodus 7:1

When the voice of Herod was confused for the voice of God, an Angel smote him and he died.  On the other hand, when the voice of Moses became the voice of God, Egypt and her gods could not hold Israel further in bondage. It is important for you to hear God so that you can really become a voice among men. Your redemption gives you access to God’s voice. Patiently seek God in prayer and meditation of His word. Although John was a voice in the wilderness, people came to him there because he has heard God.

May you hear God in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God make my voice your voice among men in Jesus name.
