WHO IS YOUR SHEPHERD? IV
John 10:27-28 says, “My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand”. The sheep does not follow the voice of the stranger. This is very fundamental. The instructions you follow determine whose sheep you are. Whose instructions do you follow? That is your shepherd.

Jesus Christ is the shepherd of sheep; he is not the shepherd of cows, lions, eagles…

God never leads anybody outside the path of righteousness. Why? For his name’s sake! Because of his nature! His nature abhors his leading you in contradiction to his revealed will.

He is ALWAYS our Shepherd. I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Let God be true and every man a liar. The quote highlighted above…

WHO IS YOUR SHEPHERD? I
It is always a privilege to be in the presence of God where there is fullness of joy. Never you take it for granted because a lot of people are serving an unknown god; a god that they cannot even afford to call ‘Father’. Celebrate God. Thank him because we know the way, we are not guessing, we are not in doubt, we are serving the living God. Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is the way of life through Christ. Bless the Lord for leading you; don’t ever take it for granted. What if you were born differently, a lot of people were born into idolatry and other religions…
