Happy new Month to you. Welcome to the month of "Divine Settlement". God will settle every issue in your life, marriage, finances and workplace this month in Jesus name, Amen.
Yesterday, we discussed being a sheep to the shepherd is what put an end to poverty in the life of a believer. Today we want to see the criteria of a sheep to the shepherd. There are some differences between the goat and the sheep which makes the sheep qualify to be led by the shepherd.
1. The sheep must recognise the voice of the shepherd. They are familiar with his voice, they know him by His voice. When he calls they recognise him by voice not by face. For every believer to be led by the shepherd we need to recognise the voice of our shepherd. We need to know how He speaks to us differently from when the devil or flesh is speaking. When we don't recognise his voice how do we know He's the one leading us? We need to be able to differentiate the voice of other shepherds who stand as thieves from the voice of our master.
2. Ability to obey our shepherd. When you recognise His voice you should be able to do as he says not as you want because you know he is always right. When you as a sheep obey your shepherd life becomes so easy and stressless.
3. Ability to follow the shepherd’s instructions. Responding positively to his leadership. No matter how you try to lead a goat, it won't follow until you drag it with rope, that's not the same with a sheep. A sheep follows with assurance of safety and provision in the hands of the shepherd.
Are you a sheep ready to be led by the shepherd? You need to recognise the voice of your shepherd, obey Him and follow Him always with the confidence that He is leading you right. Jesus is our shepherd if we really yield to voice.
Good morning, and God bless you.
