*HEARING GOD* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*And your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way; walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left*
(Isaiah 30:21 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Then I said Chris is there, I would go to him . ..when I got to Chris's house, he also was not there. It was getting dark I said "God, where will I sleep today?" I should have returned home but because there was no transport fare, I could not. Yet I couldn't return to the boys who had begged me to take the twelve naira. So I went and slept somewhere. There was no food for me because nobody was there.
I was scheduled to preach in Katsina-Ala the following day, so I went by faith to stand by the roadside believing that something will happen; but nothing happened. That was because God needed to show me that vain is the help of man. I stood by the road side but no vehicle stopped to give me a ride. The one that eventually stopped took me a short distance and asked for my transport fare. When I said I had no money the driver yelled at me "What do you want me to use to buy petrol? Get down!"
I felt bad and said "God, why is it like this?" He said "You missed my provision for the work. I made a provision of twelve naira for that journey but you missed it because you were looking up to your friends for help". ...God saw me through but I had to repent of my arrogance. I missed my preaching engagement that day. I only managed to get home at 4 p.m. the following day.
A journey of one and a half hours took me one and half days, because I missed the divine consignment, as my eyes were fixed on men.
The End.
MEDITATION:
*"As we step into this new month, may it signal a new season of hearing and depending on God in Jesus name. Amen"*

*HEARING GOD* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.*
(John 10:16 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
One day, I left Katsina-Ala to preach in Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria, a journey of about a hundred and twenty kilometres. The transport fare then was four naira. When I left home, all I had was four naira and twenty kobo and I took it all. It is mine to obey, it is his to provide. As I preached the Holy Ghost came down and the young people were filled with the Spirit.
I had not yet a sense of how to return home, and I needed to send my nephew who was living with me to school. The following day, when I was leaving for that meeting, I sent him to my friend's house for him to be taken care of over the weekend; but out there I was stranded.
When I finished preaching, those young people brought me some money. I refused to collect it saying that they should not bother; yet as I was rejecting the money they brought I had no clue of how to get back home. I made a mistake. I did not know through whom God would meet my need that day.
Those young men tried to persuade me to take the money (twelve naira), but I refused. I had an engineer friend living in that town then. Any time I was in town, I went to his house. So on that day I said I would go there and he would meet my need.
"Woe unto him who puts his trust in man".
Unfortunately when I got there, neither he nor his wife was around. The house maid who ought to know me because I was a frequent visitor in that house, stood at the door and said. "When he was going out, he said I should not open the door for anyone"
I said "Don't you know me?" She answered "Sir, I don't want to be rude but I am acting on instruction". In order to show her that I was a very intimate friend, I mentioned their names saying. "But where is Bill, and where is Miriam". She said "They are all out, and they didn't tell me you are coming sir"
And I had not eaten that day. I was not supposed to fast, but there was no food to eat; so I left and said to myself "Well, Dr. Ajonye is there". Then I went to his house only to find the doors locked. Nobody was at home. He had traveled to Sierra Leone.
(To be cont'd)

*HEARING GOD*
_Key Bible Text:_
*To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.*
(John 10:3-4 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
When I was still riding a motorbike, I went somewhere to preach in the early 1980s. As I was returning, there was a heavy downpour of rain and it beat hard on me like stones. There was no shelter under which to park. The only option was to keep going. I shivered with cold. I cried out "Lord, remember your servant. O God, I am not complaining, but remember me. I have to go to places for preaching engagements. You are the one who provided this motorcycle. Thank You. But I wish you would give me a car, to reduce the stress I am facing at this time". And the Lord said "I will get you a car".
A week after, a sister brought a Volkswagen Beetle. She said the Lord told her that she should give me the car. Then I asked the Lord, "Is this the car?" The Lord said, "This is not the car. This is a sympathy offering. If I were you. I would not take it."
Who am I to take what the Lord would not take? I politely thanked the sister and told her that I could not take the car and that it was neither meant for me nor for the work. She got annoyed.
She said "What do you mean? I told you that God told me to give it to you!" Then I said "But I told you that God did not tell me to receive it." She got me wrong. And did not understand me. She jumped up and said "Well, we are trying to help you. Are you trying to be over humble?" I was surprised.
Then she took the car, went and gave it to another preacher in town who did not know that the car had been brought to me before. When I got to that preacher's house for the regular leader's meeting, he joyfully told me about the miraculous provision of the car. He said "Sir, see the car the Lord has provided for me!" I said, "Yes, that's alright. Praise God."
So he started riding the car. But when the husband of the lady arrived from his journey, he asked his wife about the car. She said the Lord led her to give it out. He said "No, don't bring confusion into my house. Go and bring back my car. Otherwise, there will be problem." The sister began to run helter-skelter. The man said "I am a Christian, and you are a Christian. Go and bring my car back. God has not told me to give it to any evangelist." The sister went and begged the man of God and brought the car back. The man of God began to trek again.
When next I went for our usual fellowship, the man of God said, "Do you see what this brother did? His wife made an offering to the Lord, and he disagreed. She came and collected the car back. They have insulted the Lord." I laughed. When he calmed down, I said "Sir, I don't know whether you prayed about it. The car was brought to me before and the Lord said it was not meant for me and the work. And so when I saw it in your house, I wondered how the Lord led you. But it's alright. Please, wait for the right vehicle. When it comes, you will know".
