'' And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. '' 1 Samuel 3:10The Lord is ready to speak , but only on the condition that the children of God are ready to hear and obey his word as servants do obey the word of their masters . The Lord speaks more to his obedient children , the Lord controls his children with the spoken word of God . The Lord God will do nothing on earth , without revealing his mindset unto his children who are as humble and obedient as servants .
One of the most important virtuous that God expects from his children is the servant nature that will keep listening to his voice and obey him continually .God keeps speaking to us , so long as we humble ourselves to listen and obey his voice all the time . Hearing God's voice because we assume a humble state of life in our heart .
God does not really speak to the proud ,because the voice of God only comes to the humble in heart and spirit .Before God can use a person and really speak to the person he has to humble the person through the process of trials, tests and temptations . '' And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.'' 2 Corintians 12:7
Paul was humbled to know how to walk with the voice of God , that gives him a lot of revelation about God . The humble nature can handle the revelation that the voice of God brings to us as people of God .God's voice cannot reach you unless you are humble , '' But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. '' James 4:7
Many at times great men of God in the bible were referred to as servants of God .
'' Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,'' Romans 1:1 ,
''James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.'' James 1:1
''Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ'' 2 Peter 1:1
'' Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called '' Jude 1:1
Paul , James , Peter , and Jude , they all referred to themselves as servants of Christ , this means they are God's servants and not human servants .Therefore they are called upon to serve God , by hearing his voice , word and revelations and to declare them unto the people .
Prayer Confession .
Thank you Lord Jesus for the opportunity to hear your voice , make me one of your humble servants in the name of Yeshua .
