My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

John 10:27, NKJV

The Eastern shepherd of Jesus’ day raised his sheep primarily in the Judean uplands. The countryside was rocky, hilly, and creased with deep crevices and ravines. Patches of grass were sparse. So the shepherd had to establish a personal relationship with each sheep, nurturing its love and trust in order to lead it to where the path was the smoothest, the grass was the greenest, the water was the cleanest, and the nights were the safest. The shepherd always led the sheep. He knew their names, and when he called them, they recognized his voice and, followed him. When he stopped, the sheep huddled closely around him, pressing against his legs. Their personal relationship with him was based on his voice, which they knew and trusted.

The Bible describes our relationship with Jesus as being similar to the relationship between the Eastern shepherd and his sheep – a relationship based on the sound of His voice. And make no mistake about it, His voice is God‘s Word, the Holy Bible.

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray!

  12. It seems that it is logical, I was considering this for a little while, and you also know,
    I made exactly the same decisions. I remember those times of the last year in uni, that was a total
    mess, daily and with no conclusion. The only thing I chose to do would be to purchase a number of my academic missions at essay
    support. Well, imagine what a relief that it had been. I struggled a few weeks along with my essays,
    and this service https://essayhub.com only saved me!!!
    I graduated with good scores, and even now I am so thankful for the
    service they give me back then.
