The voice of God [1]

  The voice of God and Us  Adam and eve were the first humans to hear and recognize God’s voice.  Genesis 1:28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.  This first time was a quickening voice to activate them, jug them out of motionlessness and inertia to action and activities. Man was endued with impartation, [ability to achieve] and His intention for the man he has created known and what he expects of man? Then and there, he made that known by imparting him with the ability to carry out his intentions. The word “blessed”, was the action of God empowering man with ability to carry out his intention on earth. These apply to us all. No one is unknown  by God his creator, Jesus said even the hairs on our head are numbered;  before your birth God grants  grace and power to fulfill your destiny, but you need to find it because man has wandered  from God as a result of sin. And other men can also interfere with your destiny hence, the need for prayers. And for whatever be Gods plan for you there is need to first seek from God the power to accomplish it. Like God did to Adam [ability called [BLESSING]] then he now expresses his intention for Adam. This first time God gave his desire with his voice, and the last time was to judge man after he fell and to make provision after that fall, but subsequent voices we hear was either to command, give direction, rebuke or exalt his own name like when he said beside me there is no other God. After the callous reply of Cain we saw God mostly speaking to man who he had chosen for specific reason: like Moses in the burning bush who later became one of the greatest leaders and law giver, Samuel also heard his voice who later became the first prophet and seer, though there exist two excerption to which are King Solomon and Gods reply to job and his friends without using a prophet, but we should remember too that God called Job, his “servant” during the conversation with Satan. The last time man was to hear the voice of God directly, was on the mountain of where Jesus was transfigured. Peter, James and john were privileged to witness this event. There they  saw Moses the lawgiver, Elijah the prophet one representing the law of God

and the other the voice of God to his people, but all fulfilled with the final appearing of Jesus, called the mighty God,  on earth therefore, God has to say to the world of whom Jesus is. Matthew 17:4-5 ,Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.   Before Jesus began ministering God also approved him with a voice from Heaven for all to hear.

To be concluded,
