FAITH CAPSULE: It is impossible for one to hear God and not answer.

1 Samuel 3:1-14, Isaiah 6:1-13
 
It is written, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.And God saw the light thatit was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.” (Genesis 1:1-5) Clearly, God made all things through speaking of His word. When God speaks creation answered because it is not possible for creation to hear God and not answer. Are you hearing when He speaks direction to your confusion? Do you hear when He speaks motion to your stagnation?
If there was ever to be a heaven-made hearing-aid on sale for thousands of dollars, would you purchase it? Hearing is the key in the race of life. Hearing is what is needed to start your journey and to get you to the expected end. If you cannot hear when the Heavenly Commander, the Omnipotent, the Omnipresent is calling or giving direction, you will miss the clarion call and your journey will either be terminated or delayed. Will you now consider buying a heaven-made hearing-aid? 1 Samuel 3:10, “Now the LORD came and stood and called as at the other times, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ And Samuel answered, ‘Speak, for Your servant hears.’”
Samuel heard the call and he was a standout among those that served God; he was a giant in the hand of God, and he was the last and the most effective of Israel’s judges.
Isaiah testifies, “Also I heard the voice of the LORD, saying ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’ Then I said, ‘Here I am! Send me.’”(Isaiah 6:8)Just like Samuel, Isaiah also heard his calling. He was considered the greatest Old Testament prophet. His ministry spanned the reigns of five Kings of Judah. Hearing and answering to God made all the difference in the ministry of Samuel and Isaiah. It is impossible for one to hear God and not answer His Word–the same Word that brought everything into creation makes all the difference in all that hears and answer Him. It is not possible for one to hear Him and fail in His calling. The problem of not hearing God is the evidence of a hearing disability, and it is everywhere on the face of the earth, because of the blocking agent who is the god of this age. God has been calling you, but you have not been hearing Him. When you hear Him, you must answer Him without doubting.
 
Prayer for today: Ask God to open your hear of the heart that you may answer full to His calling.
