You are a Sent Voice

 

 Text: Isaiah 40:3 (KJV)

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Friends, when you heard today’s topic, who came to your mind in the Bible? If your answer is John the Baptist, then we are on the right line of thought. The Bible tells us that John the Baptist was a voice in the wilderness, and he continually declared, “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand.” However, the truth is that he is not the only voice in the wilderness. You and I are also voices, and our wilderness is the place around us where there is a need to be met in our vicinity. Do you know that you are a sent voice and not a crowd voice? God has given us a bold voice, and we are meant to use it to fulfill our God-given assignment and to correct things positively. As Scripture says in 2 Timothy 1:7- For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

We are reminded never to feel intimidated when our voice seems small or lonely, because we are made in God’s image and we have a voice that can move mountains. Mark 11:23 says, For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. So, do not give up. Learn to overlook people’s distractions and remain focused as a voice, knowing that your mandate is from God. You are still speaking, but sometimes the atmosphere is choked, which is why your voice is not clearly heard. Remember, you are made differently and given an assignment to fulfill God’s agenda. Therefore, be confident in the voice God has given you in that environment, because you are on a divine assignment. And I pray we shall fulfill our divine mandate today in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS:

1.      Father, may my mouth not be shut as to fulfill my purpose despite the choked atmosphere, in Jesus name.

2.      Oh Lord, please help me to deliver your assignment upon my destiny, in Jesus name.
