Jesus Knows Those Who Belong To Him – By Iwalola (Lola) Ademodi

Jesus said in John 10:27-30 AMP

“The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me;

I know them, and they follow Me.

And I give them eternal life, and they will never, ever [by any means] perish;

and no one will ever snatch them out of My hand.

My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

I and the Father are One [in essence and nature].”

Take time to ponder over these words from Jesus.

We should bring the verses into our minds in times of distress and need, they are truths that cannot be denied.

His sheep hear His voice. He speaks to them throughout the day— as a shepherd does to his sheep.

He knows each one (of us) by name.

We know His voice (when we condition ourselves to listen to Him) and respond to no one else, except their shepherd.

Beloved, Jesus knows us by name.

We should be able to discern His voice as well, if we are sincere and faithful follower to Him.

Beloved, how do you know when you are hearing Jesus’ voice?

It will always be consistent with His Word. (By their fruits you shall know them: Matt. 7:16,20).

That’s why it’s imperative we know the Scripture.

When Jesus speaks to you, you will know what to do in every situation. And you will know how to follow him.

Jesus’ greatest gift to His followers is eternal life, which no other religious leader has ever promised and fulfilled.

Beloved, If you are one of His determined and faithful followers, no one will be able to snatch you out of His hands.

You have eternal security, you enjoy Divine health and provisions.

Because there was no work you did to earn your salvation, no one can ever take it away from you, except you:

We never have to worry about being separated from Him. It will never happen. (Read Romans 8:32-39)

Listen to Jesus’ promise in John 10:11-14 AMP

“I am the Good Shepherd.

The Good Shepherd lays down His [own] life for the sheep. [Ps 23; Is 40:11]

But the hired man [who merely serves for wages], who is neither the shepherd nor the owner of the sheep, when he sees the wolf coming, deserts the flock and runs away; and the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.

The man runs because he is a hired hand [who serves only for wages] and is not concerned about the [safety of the] sheep.

I am the Good Shepherd, and I know [without any doubt those who are] My own…

and My own know Me [and have a deep, personal relationship with Me]—”

This is the reason, why both the believers call on Jesus’ name in times of danger, and He responds,

believing that the unbeliever who has not known Him, or the unfaithful believers, who are not obedient to His Instruction can change, for the better.

Psalms 91:14-16 AMP

“Because he set his love on Me, therefore I will save him;

I will set him [securely] on high,

because he knows My name [he confidently trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never abandon him, no, never].

“He will call upon Me,

and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

I will rescue him and honor him.

“With a long life I will satisfy him And I will let him see My salvation.””

Beloved, this is beyond human comprehension. Finite humanity cannot grasp this truth about the infinite. But it’s true.

The Father and Jesus are eternally connected.

When you come to Jesus, you become similarly connected.

The super glue of His love eternally cements you together to eternally abide in His love. Listen to Jesus’ voice today.

Be sensitive to it.

If you need wisdom, ask Him for it.

He will give it to you generously—never rebuking you for asking for it. (James 1:5)

Make your plans, but trust that Jesus will determine your steps.

Jesus will guide you throughout your day and along the best pathway for your life.

He will order your steps to your destiny helpers.

He will guide you to overcome satanic temptations.

Even if you go astray, seek Him again, and He will place you back on the right path.

He will guide you with His counsel.

He will advise you and watch over you.

He will lead you to your glorious destiny.

He will watch over you until His desire for you comes to pass: inhering and inhabiting your Mansion in heaven.

Most gracious God, thank You for all that You are in the life of each one of us.

Thank You for the intense love You have for us, to the point that You know us more than we know ourselves.

Holy Spirit, we honor and welcome You into our midst.

Thank You for allowing and helping us to hear the voice of our Lord Jesus.

I pray that as we faithfully follow Jesus Christ, He will grant us His permanent unconditional love and guidance at all times. To the Glory Of His Name.

Father, please encompass us with Your Divine Wisdom to be a determined follower. To the Glory Of Your Holy Name.

Abide with us at all times, Lord Jesus.

In Jesus’ Mighty name, I pray. Amen

Have a blessed day
