ARE YOU HIS SHEEP?

"But you do not believe me because you are not my sheep. My sheep listens to my voice;I know them, and they follow me." John 10:26-27

Last Saturday (31-05-08) we had an awesome teaching from the YWAM team they teach us about hearing the voice of God it was a very practical session and it was very useful and beneficial for all of us.
As I was pondering about the subject this morning the Lord reminded me that the only one who listens to the voice of God is his sheep. My question to you all, are u his sheep? it is so easy to claim that Jesus is our shepherd and we are his sheep but are we living the life of a sheep. If we are not that means we are not his sheep and we are not listening to his voice.
As i was learning this portion of Scripture (John 10:26-27) i learned there are 3 criteria that we need to do to become his sheep

1. We need to believe in the shepherd: all sheep have faith in their shepherds. as a sheep of Christ we need to put our trust in him. we need to surrender everything to him. have faith in him. if we do that you will see how he will help you to overcome the challenges of life.

2. We need to know him: Jesus knows his sheep but as his sheep do you know him? if we read in verse 14 it says "I am the good shepherd I know my sheep and my sheep know me" as his sheep we need to know him. not just know about him we need to know him intimately. we need to get close to him. the deeper u know him the easier it will be to hear his voce. just as in verse 14 ans 27 Jesus says that he knows his sheep the same way we need to know our shepherd

3. We need to follow the shepherd: as a sheep we are the followers of the shepherd as Jesus is our shepherd we need to follow him in how he dos things, we need to think like how he thinks, we need to see like how he sees. we need to obey him and let him guide you

So let us all be his sheep and let us all hear his voice he is eager and excited to give you revelation he is excited to reveal his plan for your life. So be his sheep

God bless you all
