*BEWARE OF OTHER VOICES*
Genesis 3:11 “And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?”
Greetings beloved, as we all know that the fall of the first was because of listening to the wrong voice, even now many are still being trapped, fallen and perishing in the same way.
Voices, words are very important, because life to us has been given by the Word of God which is the Word of life; 1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; [2] (for the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) meaning, us hearing the Voice of God, which
As we also know even the first was clothed with a glorious image and likeness or God also and powered of all things by His Word when He said Genesis 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” And when they listened to the other Voice in their mind, all was lost.
No wonder it is written; Proverbs 18:20 “A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; And with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. [21] Death and life are in the power of the tongue: And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” but you know what? For a man to speak, he must first have to gotten that information somewhere else and then believed it.
Our Lord Jesus Christ was very careful about this and we hear Him saying; Matthew 4:4 “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
Beloved, when we hear the Word of God, believing it, speaking it and also acting according to the Word, you will find that we can never lack power, and joy, confidence of facing tomorrow with hope even in the midst of darkness we, become the shinning light, as we all know that eternal life in us is the very light of man as it written
John 1:4 “In him was life; and the life was the light of men. [5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not, and we wont be affected by that darkness at all but rather makes it disappear.”
But when we decide to listen to the wrong voice, the enemies voice, you will find out that we become dim, if not careful, then swallowed up by darkness, and they will show no difference at all with those who are also in darkness.
So as much as our ears want to hear and our eyes want to see, let us becareful of voices, not all things are meant for us to
consume, and in most cases when you are taking corrupt voices, words as food, the Lord usually send warnings in form of dreams. When you dream and see yourself eating, some perishable things, or favorite food but finding especially the center part being rotten, that will be meaning, you are being deceived by words which sound good but in the end they are bad for you.
Thank you 🙏
