God Speaks Chikamu

As a community of believers, we know that God’s words are powerful. Through one statement in Genesis, ‘let there be light,’ God began creating the world. When God speaks, His words require movement. Are you willing to seek God in prayer, really listen to His voice, and most importantly, move upon His word?

In the Bible there are many stories of God’s people who heard from God and moved upon His word: Noah built the ark that saved his family, Sarah kept faith that she would have a child, and Abraham left for a country he had never seen.

Throughout our lives, we have all witnessed countless people who courageously followed God and moved upon His word. Public Church Lead Pastors Cameron and Renee Bennett, and location Pastors Isaiah and Renee Simmons all sought God, listened to His call, and moved upon His word when planting Public Church. They left their friends, families, homes, jobs, cities, states, and the ministries they had built, all to move on God’s word and be obedient to Him. As a community of believers, this is a challenging thought to consider. The Bible gives us commands that require us to move out of our comfort zone. Are you willing to move on God’s word, no matter the cost?

Moving upon God’s word looks different for everyone. Perhaps it’s deciding to give of tithes and offerings to the church, or forgiving someone who has hurt you. Maybe it’s stepping out in faith and sharing Christ with a loved one, or following relentlessly after a dream God has placed in your heart. For others, it might be seeking new job opportunities or keeping faith that God will provide for your family. Whatever it looks like, God requires you to move upon His word.  

Be encouraged today that God is speaking to you. He is with You. He knows you intimately and desires the best for your life. Prayer is a two-way communication channel where we speak to God, listen when He speaks, and move upon His word. Let’s be a community of believers who desire to hear and move upon God’s voice!

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You that You are faithful in fulfilling Your word. Father, I ask that You help me to not only hear Your voice but to have the courage to follow Your voice, whatever You may ask. Lord, let my heart’s desire come into alignment with Yours. I put my whole faith and trust in You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
