MORNING DEW WITH FAVOUR OLAYEMI OLOTU
DATE: TUESDAY NOVEMBER 24TH 2020
TOPIC: THE SHEPHERD’S VOICE
TEXT: John 10:2-5 KJVS
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. [3] To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. [4] And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. [5] And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
This passage from John tells us important things about the shepherd-sheep relationship. The shepherd calls his sheep by name and leads them out; he goes before them, preparing the way and protecting them from harm. When he speaks to them, they follow him because they know his voice. These verses remind us that because sheep are in such an intimate relationship with the shepherd and spend so much time with him, they can discern the difference between their shepherd’s voice and that of a stranger and won’t be deceived. So it is with us. As we commune more with Jesus, our Good Shepherd, and become familiar with his voice, we will not be deceived by the voice of the enemy; we will not be distracted or derailed by the myriad other voices in the world around us. As the song says, we will hear our shepherd more clearly and follow him more nearly, not just in the extraordinary times but day by day.
PRAYER
LORD, I thank you for making me one of your sheep. What a privilege it is to belong to you! Thank you for going ahead of me and preparing the way for me. You call me by name and speak to my heart and lead me. With all the “voices” clamoring in my world, quiet my mind and heart so that I will recognize your voice and follow only you.
WORDS ON MARBLE
The Christian life rooted in the secret place where God meets and walks and talks with his own grows into such a testimony of Divine power that all men will feel its influence and be touched by the warmth of its love. E. M. Bounds (1835–1913)
Remain ever blessed!
Jesus is Lord!
MARANATHA!
Sincerely,
