HEAR YE HIM

 In Mark 9:7 (NKJV), the Bible says, “And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, ‘This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!’” 


This moment happened during the transfiguration of Jesus on the mountain, where He appeared in glory alongside Moses and Elijah. The disciples—especially Peter—were overwhelmed by the experience. Peter, caught up in the moment, suggested building three tabernacles: one for Jesus, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. A tabernacle is a meeting place, a place of worship and fellowship. By suggesting this, Peter was placing Moses and Elijah—representing the Law and the Prophets—on the same level as Jesus.

However, God interrupted this idea. A cloud appeared, and God’s voice thundered: “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!” This was not a mere suggestion; it was a divine command. The presence of Moses and Elijah fades, and Jesus remains alone with the disciples. This powerful moment shows us clearly that although God spoke through the Law (Moses) and the Prophets (Elijah), now He speaks through His Son—Jesus.

This truth is confirmed in Hebrews 1:1-2 (NKJV): “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son…” God used many messengers in the past, but now, the final and full revelation comes through Jesus Christ.

We must stop listening to every other voice that speaks apart from Christ. Not every voice deserves your attention—only the voice of Jesus does. If someone speaks to you about life, purpose, destiny, or the Kingdom of God, let it be the words of Jesus they bring, not their own opinions. Jesus is God’s final word to us. He is the way, the truth, and the life.

Now is the time to invest yourself in the Word of God. Study the words of Jesus. Learn what He says about you, your situation, and your future. Don’t settle for secondhand opinions—go straight to the source. Hear Him!

Prayer: Lord Jesus, open my ears to hear You only. Help me follow Your voice above all. Teach me Your ways daily.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
