MY SHEEP LISTEN TO MY VOICE; The Power of Silence and Meditation

Last week, we looked at the Holy Spirit. We looked at who He is, why He has been given to us, and His ministry in our lives.

We saw that the Holy Spirit has been given to us so that we are not left without the presence, help, and communication of God.

He teaches us, reminds us, guides us into truth, and makes the things of Christ known to us.

Today, we will be moving forward, looking at the words of Jesus in John 10:27.

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” [John 10:27 NLT]

Some translations say:

“My sheep hear my voice.”

Some marry both words together.

I like this translation because listening is such a delicate thing.

You can hear somebody but not be listening to them.

The Greek word translated “listen” here is 'akouō.' The actual form used in this verse is akouousin, and it means to hear, to listen, to give heed, and to give attention to something.

So, when Jesus says His sheep listen to His voice, we are not looking at hearing as merely the reception of sound.

I need us to see it from the angle of giving attention.

My sheep give attention to me.

And this is where I want us to examine our relationship/friendship with God.

Are we paying heed?

Are we giving attention?

I will have us break this down further so we understand very well what we’ve been called to.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO GIVE ATTENTION?

To give attention means to focus on something or someone.

It is to direct your mind towards what is before you and give it your full consideration.

For those close to me, I say this to them a lot: Your attention is one of the most valuable things you own.

Attention is a currency. It is how we get things done. It is how men become.

You can tell where a person is headed just by watching where they turn their face; nobody walks backwards.

Whatever has your attention isn’t just borrowing your eyes; it’s reaching for your mind, and ultimately, your heart.

Want to master a skill? Give it attention.

Want to grow? Give attention.

Think about it this way:

Everything you have become, everything you are learning, the things you are developing, the things that are taking shape in your life, all of these things have had some measure of your attention.

You cannot give something no attention and expect it to have influence on you. It is not possible.

The change we are seeking is in our ability to give God our attention.

There are people who registered for this class but will not follow through till the end. You want to know why? Attention.

I have seen it happen over and over.

Something else gets our attention, and then we just move on.

God is not meant to get leftover attention from you. This is what a lot of us do.

We are only willing to give God attention when we are done being attentive to every other thing.

If we say we want to know God, we must be willing to give Him our attention.

We cannot be so occupied with everything else that we have no room to attend to Him. We cannot give our minds to every other thing and then expect to know Him deeply without giving Him our attention.

“[20] My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings.” [Proverbs 4:20 NKJV]

Notice the language used.

"Give attention to my words." "Incline your ear to my sayings."

There are two instructions here.

First, give attention to my words. Be deliberate about what is being said. Give it your focus. Give it your consideration.

Then He says, "incline your ear to my sayings."

To incline is to bend or turn towards something. So, picture what is being communicated here. Turn your ear towards what the Lord says. Direct your attention to it!

Note that attention is not just being physically present.

You can sit with your Bible open and your mind be somewhere else. You can be in a prayer meeting and your thoughts are occupied with ten other things.

Your body may be present, but your attention is elsewhere.

What God is asking from us is attention; full attention!

MY SHEEP

Let’s look at John 10:27 again.

"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” [John 10:27 NLT]

I want us to pay attention to the first two words: My sheep.

Jesus is speaking about those who belong to Him. He is describing a relationship.

And if you read a little further up, in John 10:14, He says:

“I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.”

See ehn!

Jesus does not describe the sheep as people who are simply able to hear a voice. He describes them as His own. There is a relationship between the Shepherd and His sheep.

He knows them, and they know Him.

So, when we talk about listening to the voice of God, we must understand that this is happening within the context of our relationship with Him.

And if we say we are in a relationship with God, and we are called to listen to Him, then we must give attention to that relationship.

Think about your relationships with people. You cannot build a meaningful relationship with someone you never make time for.

You cannot keep someone at the very edge of your life, give them little or no attention, and expect the relationship to grow.

Imagine friends who call you only when they need something or don’t even reach out at all. The friendship will fade with time.

The same principle applies here.

We cannot say we want to know God, we want to grow in our relationship with Him, we want to be attentive to Him, and yet we give Him no room in our daily lives.

Keyword here is DAILY!

And this brings me to the next thing I want us to look at.

THE POWER OF SILENCE 

One of the things we must learn in our walk with God is how to be still.

We live in a world where there is always something demanding our attention. There is always something to watch, something to read, something to respond to, something to think about.

Even when we are physically alone, our minds are not necessarily quiet. You can be in your room, with nobody speaking to you, and yet your mind is occupied with so many things.

And sometimes, we carry all that noise into our time with God.

We sit down to pray, and our minds are everywhere. We open our Bibles, and before long, we are thinking about something else.

We must learn to create room for stillness.

“[10] Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” [Psalms 46:10 NKJV]

There is a place for stillness in our relationship with God.

Sometimes, we are so occupied with speaking, asking, requesting, and moving from one thing to another that we don’t make room to be still before God.

Now, I am not saying that silence makes God speak, or that we must become silent before God can communicate with us. That is not the point.

We have already established that God is a speaking God. We have also seen that He has given us His Spirit. 

But if we are going to give Him our attention, we must learn to withdraw our attention from the many things competing for it.

There are times when you need to put your phone away. Step away from the noise. Stop rushing from one activity to another. Give yourself time to be still before God.

Give yourself time to just BE before God.

THE POWER OF MEDITATION

“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.”[Joshua 1:8 NLT]

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” [Joshua 1:8 NKJV]

God was speaking to Joshua here, and He gave him an instruction concerning His Word.

Meditate on it day and night.

Notice that Joshua was not simply instructed to read the Word. He was instructed to meditate on it.

To meditate is to sit with one thing, to fill your mind with it until it overflows into your life.

To be consumed by it.

Meditation is a form of obsession of the mind over the Word!

You keep returning to it. You keep thinking about it. You keep turning it over in your heart until it begins to shape the way you think, the way you see things, and the way you live.

You are not just visiting the Word. You are allowing the Word to occupy your thoughts.

And notice that God says to Joshua, day and night.

This is not a once-in-a-while activity. It is a deliberate and sustained occupation of the mind with God’s Word.

And this is why I keep bringing us back to attention. What you continually give your mind to will have an influence on your life.

The Word must occupy your mind!

It must shape your thinking and influence your decisions. It must affect how you respond to life. It must become the lens through which you see things and the foundation from which you make your choices.

And I want to ask us three questions tonight:

What has been occupying your attention?

What has been filling your thoughts?

Are you creating room to be still before God regularly?

As we close, I need us to think on these questions and answer honestly to ourselves.

In fact, this is our Assignment 1 for today.

Write out your responses in your books.

ASSIGNMENT

For the next 7 days:

Create room for silence

Set aside 15-20 minutes each day to be still before God. Put away distractions (switch off your phones). Don't rush to speak or fill the silence. Give Him your attention. Then write down whatever you see or sense.

Meditate on the Word

Choose one portion of Scripture from the book of John and stay with it throughout the week. Read it slowly, think about what it says, turn it over in your mind, and allow the Lord to expand it to you.

Keep an Attention Journal

At the end of each day, write brief answers to these three questions:

- What occupied most of my attention today?

- What Word did I carry in my thoughts today?

- How did that Word influence my decisions or responses?

We will check in periodically to see how this is going and ask about it when we meet next.

Question

Thank you for today’s class. I feel this is my word because today was so busy with work that I pushed my time with God back and it ended up being a rushed session as I kept checking the time (this sounds so horrible now that I say it out loud. God please, I’m sorry 😭🤲) 

Which brings me to my question: Is it advisable to have specific time to spend with God or it’s okay to talk to God whenever you feel lead or at any point in time? Like just check-in with a friend at anytime or have specific time when you meet with God or just do both? Thank you 🙏

Answer

First, my advice is to have a specific time set aside for God.

Then, still try to have random times with Him to support this.

Let me explain why…

I don’t know if there is anyone here who has been married for a long time.

If you speak with married people, they will tell you that there comes a time when they have to be intentional about dates and even sex. Because if you don't fix a time, nothing will happen.

And it sounds shocking because everybody is looking forward to sex within marriage, so why are you married and not having it?

Life is very busy.

Life gets very busy.

And you must be intentional to get anything out of it.

You cannot leave your relationship with God to happenstance.

If you want to take a difficult professional exam in 3 months, what do you do?

Set aside a time every day, even if it is just 1 hour, to study.

And if you have extra time outside of the time set?

Come to your God and enjoy His presence!

I hope this helps.

Thank you, everyone.

Will check in on our assignments.

Please do endeavour to do them.

Let Us Pray:

Dear Father, We thank You for Your word tonight, thank You for shining Your light in our hearts tonight, thank You because you are showing us what is truly important in building a healthy relationship with You. 

Help us to pay attention to Your word, stay in meditation and Your heart for us in Jesus name we have prayed, Amen. 🙏

DIVINE COMMUNICATION II: THE SPIRIT

Let Us Pray

Father, we thank you for the privilege to open your word once again. We thank you for your teachings. We thank you for your word is alive. As we seat at your feet this morning, speak to us Lord.

Teach us your truth and your ways. 

Amen

In our last teaching, we established that God is a speaking God.

We’ve seen that God communicates with His people and that we cannot separate His communication from who He is. Basically, God will not speak against His character.

We also introduced God’s provision to speak to us: The Holy Spirit.

Today, we will be getting familiar with the person of the Holy Spirit and the precious role He plays in Divine Communication.

Towards the end of our last class, I shared certain scriptures with us that I’d want us to quickly go back to:

“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.” [John 16:12–13 NKJV]

I still have many things to say to you!

This is Jesus telling the disciples about the coming of the Spirit of truth, who would guide them into all truth and tell them what He heard.

“But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” [I Corinthians 2:10 NKJV]

And here, in Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth, we see that He kept to His word.

We see that Jesus was indeed telling the truth about the Spirit.

“God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.”

This is a testimony of that Scripture in John.

I need us to pay attention to the provision made to us by the Lord.

As we progress, I want us to then answer these questions:

Who is this Spirit? What exactly did Jesus mean when He promised that the Spirit would come? And what does His coming mean for us?

Let's begin from the words of Jesus.

1. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT AN IT

“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” [John 14:16–18 NKJV]

I want us to notice the language Jesus uses.

He says another Helper.

He does not describe the Holy Spirit as a force, an atmosphere, an energy, or an influence. He speaks of Him as another Helper who will come and abide with them.

The Holy Spirit is a Person.

And this is important for us to establish because sometimes, when we discuss the Holy Spirit, our attention is almost entirely on what He can do.

We talk about His power. We talk about His gifts. We talk about His ability to communicate, to reveal things, to direct us, and to help us.

But before we discuss what He does, we must understand who He is.

The Holy Spirit is God. He is not an extension of God or a lesser being sent to carry out God's instructions. He is fully God, just as the Father and the Son are God.

We see this in Acts 5:3–4, where Peter first tells Ananias that he has lied to the Holy Spirit, and then says he has not lied to men but to God.

So, when we speak about the Holy Spirit, we are speaking about God Himself.

2. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS HELP

Again, let’s look at the conversation Jesus is having in the Scripture we shared above (John 14:16–18).

Jesus was preparing His disciples for His departure. He had been with them. They had walked with Him, listened to Him, watched Him minister, and experienced His presence. Now He was telling them that He would be leaving.

Imagine what that must have meant to them.

The One they had followed, the One who had taught them, the One they had come to depend on, was telling them that He was going away. But Jesus did not leave the conversation there.

He said, “I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever.”

In other words, you will not be left without help. You will not be abandoned. You will not be left without the presence of God.

And then He says something that I find particularly beautiful in verse 18:

“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”

My God!

Jesus was assuring them that His departure would not mean abandonment.

There are so many believers who feel abandoned and alone in the middle of life's issues. But this is exactly why the Spirit came.

His exact job description is this:

God has not left us to navigate our relationship with Him or even life in general without His presence. He has given us the Holy Spirit.

And I want you to understand this personally.

The Holy Spirit is literally here for you.

He is not just a subject we study in church. He is not just an experience we have during worship. He is not just the power we feel when someone ministers. He is not what makes you fall down in the middle of a powerful ministration.

Noooooo! We will not reduce Him to that.

The Holy Spirit is God, present with us and dwelling in us.

He has been given to us. He has come to dwell with us. And His ministry includes making the things of God known to us.

3. HE HAS BEEN SENT FOR THIS PURPOSE 

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” [John 14:26 NKJV]

See what Jesus says: the Father will send the Holy Spirit.

And He tells us what the Spirit will do: He will teach us all things and bring to our remembrance the things Jesus has said.

Now, let's move to John 16:12–15 that we read earlier.

Jesus says that the Spirit of truth will come and guide us into all truth. He will speak what He hears, show us things to come, and take what belongs to Christ and make it known to us.

Do you see what Jesus is describing?

He is describing the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. He is telling His disciples what the Spirit has been sent to do.

But I want us to go beyond simply listing what He does. I want you to understand that He has been sent for you.

You are the recipient of this provision.

The Holy Spirit has been given to you. He has come to dwell in you. He is here for you!

Think about it. The Spirit of God, who knows the deep things of God, has come to dwell in you for a purpose: so that you can know!

It means you are not left to figure out the mind of God by your own understanding. You are not left to navigate your relationship with God without help. You are not left to depend solely on what you can gather with your natural mind.

God has made provision for you.

The Holy Spirit is literally here for you.

He is here to ensure that you know the mind of God.

He is here to make the things of God known to you.

He is here to teach you, remind you, guide you, and help you understand the things that belong to Christ.

What a waste it’d be if you then cannot hear Him.

What a waste!

To hear God, we must first understand that He desires this and has already made provision.

And notice that this ministry is not limited to giving us specific instructions or telling us what to do next. It is much bigger than that. He teaches us. He brings us into the knowledge of truth. He makes the things of Christ known to us. He helps us know God and live in relationship with Him.

The Holy Spirit has been sent for you. You are why He is here.

For every time you face a difficult situation and you struggle with what to do next, you must remember this:

I am why the Holy Spirit is here.

He is here because of me!

4. THE SPIRIT MAKES THE THINGS OF GOD KNOWN TO US

"But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.” [I Corinthians 2:10–12 NKJV]

Paul tells us that the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. He then tells us that we have received the Spirit who is of God so that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God.

“that we might know”

God has given us His Spirit so that we might know the things He has freely given to us.

Then Paul goes on to explain that these things are taught by the Holy Spirit. And in verse 16, he asks:

“For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”

Now, what does this mean for our conversation?

We are talking about the mind of God. We are talking about knowing the things that belong to Him. And Paul is showing us that the Spirit has a vital role in bringing us into this knowledge.

Think about it.

The Holy Spirit knows the deep things of God. He has been given to us, and through His ministry, we are brought into the knowledge of the things God has freely given us.

This is why I keep emphasising that the Holy Spirit is here for you.

He is not just here to make you feel something. He is not just here for moments of spiritual excitement. There is a ministry of the Spirit in your everyday life that concerns your knowledge of God.

He helps you understand the things of God. He teaches you the truth. He brings you into the knowledge of what God has made available to you in Christ.

And I want us to be clear about something: this does not mean that we become independent of Scripture or that every thought that comes into our minds is automatically the mind of God. Paul is speaking about the Spirit's work in revealing and teaching the things of God.

We must always remain anchored in the truth God has revealed.

But what a provision this is!

God has not simply called us into a relationship with Himself and then left us to figure Him out. He has given us His Spirit.

The Spirit who knows the deep things of God is at work in us, helping us know the things of God.

And this brings us to another important part of Jesus' description of the Spirit's ministry.

In John 16:14, Jesus says:

He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

So, the Spirit does not only make the things of God known to us. His ministry also has a clear focus: He glorifies Christ.

5. THE SPIRIT GLORIFIES CHRIST

“He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.” [John 16:14 NKJV]

Jesus is telling us that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is centred on making Him known.

He glorifies Christ. He takes what belongs to Christ and makes it known to us.

We see this again in John 15:26, where Jesus says that the Spirit of truth, whom He will send from the Father, will testify of Him.

Now, why is this important to our conversation?

Because as we learn about the Spirit and His ministry of communication, we must understand that He does not operate independently of the Father and the Son. His ministry is in perfect unity with them.

The Spirit will not lead us away from Christ. He will not communicate something that contradicts the truth of Christ or the character of God.

And this takes us back to what we established in our last class: God does not contradict Himself.

It may look like we are over-flogging this one point, but please count it important. If your ears will hear the Lord, you must know this.

I’ve seen people start out well and miss it along the line.

I have seen all sorts done in the name of God.

There is literally a ‘pastor’ saying God asked him to take a second wife.

Whatever voice you hear that contradicts the Word is out to destroy you. Flee!

Now, what do these things mean for us?

Let’s bring it all together.

Jesus promised the disciples another Comforter. He said the Spirit would abide with them forever. He would teach them, remind them, and guide them into all truth.

We have seen that the Spirit is God, that He knows the deep things of God, and that He has been given to us so that we might know the things freely given to us by God.

This right here is the provision we have in the Holy Spirit!

And I need us to appreciate what this means for our lives as believers.

Our relationship with God is not meant to be built around occasional encounters or moments when we feel His presence. The Holy Spirit has come to dwell in us. His ministry is part of our everyday walk with God.

Think about the things Jesus said He would do: teach, remind, guide, reveal.

These are not descriptions of a distant God. They speak of God's involvement in the lives of His people.

This should shape how we approach our relationship with Him. We should understand that the Spirit is not an occasional visitor in our lives. He is the promised Helper who abides in us to teach us ALL things!

And as we continue this series, we must understand the significance of this provision even before we begin to explore the subject of hearing.

We will be pausing here today and will continue in our next class.

Let Us Pray

Father, we are grateful for the provision You made available into us. We thank you for teaching us and showing us how intentional You are about us. We pray that You word continually dwell in our heart, and we will not forget all we have learned. In Jesus Name, 🙏

I have told you to move on that idea, why are you still waiting? 

No more mental barrier. Every mental barrier is broken

A season of suddenlies!

 “Long ago I told you what was going to happen. Then suddenly I took action, and all my predictions came true.” [ Isaiah 48 : 3 NLT ]

⁠All things are ready, you have nothing to fear 

I have gone ahead, you have nothing to fear 

There’s a shift for you child of God

I swear to you by My name

Can you see it springing forth?! Taste and see that the Lord your God has delivered all that He promised 

“I will firmly plant them there in their own land. They will never again be uprooted from the land I have given them,” says the LORD your God.” [Amos 9 : 15 NLT]

“Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is counted as a forest.” [Isaiah 32:15 NKJV]

Time and chance

Possibilities 

“[24] Then you will lay your gold in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks. [25] Yes, the Almighty will be your gold And your precious silver; [26] For then you will have your delight in the Almighty, And lift up your face to God. [27] You will make your prayer to Him, He will hear you, And you will pay your vows. [28] You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways. [29] When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exaltation will come!’ Then He will save the humble person. [30] He will even deliver one who is not innocent; Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands.” [Job 22:24-30 NKJV]

November is not business as usual

Month of wonders

A season of refreshing 

Praise the Lord for his mercy endures 

Setbacks are over

So many of them

I hear the Lord say again, I watch over my word to perform it

“Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” God’s Decree. “Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again for my people Israel: “They’ll rebuild their ruined cities. They’ll plant vineyards and drink good wine. They’ll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables. And I’ll plant them, plant them on their own land. They’ll never again be uprooted from the land I’ve given them.” God, your God, says so.” [Amos 9:13-15 MSG]

“And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.” [Luke 1:45 KJV]
