Mysteries of Voice Unfold

Voice is one of the major characteristic features of many living organisms. It is such a powerful weapon backed up with an invisible, awesome power. It is a universal asset that has as much importance as time. With voice, you can identify, on many occasions, who is speaking or who is in charge. Voice is such a powerful weapon in the spiritual and material world. It can construct or deconstruct, encourage or discourage, heal or make sick.

A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones (Prov. 17:22).

Some voices can dry the bones of excitement, ability, and inspiration. It can sentence to life or death; lift up or pull down; can lead to oppression, enslave, or emancipate; and it can build hope or abort hope. Voice can impact the past, present, and future. Voice can bring about the aforementioned when represented in the oral or written form.

Voice is so powerful and vital in all human operations—in government, administration, church, family, educational institutions, politics, business, and relationships. The list is endless.

In any community, voice is such a vital weapon in the response and the command of the government’s attention to the needs of various factions and sectors that are represented, either as a majority or a minority group. It is a means to convey the needs, interests, plights, and concerns of people. When the voice of a minority cannot be heard in a constituency, they are bound to suffer set backs. Even in the program of God, the same principle applies; God responds to the cry or voice of His children with passion and urgency.

I said earlier that voice is an expression of opinion or intentions. Let me show you other mysterious truths you must know on the subject of voice. You need to realize that tapes, letters, navigators, and written documents are a voice. Before you secure a contract, you make a proposal; that is, your voice is presented in written words with or without your conspicuous presence and your intention being known. Similarly, the voice of the world’s prime terrorist could be heard in his hiding place on tape (voice over tape). A Curriculum vita or resume is a voice that clearly states to a potential employer what you can do and why you should be considered for that position. Your business card is your voice; it describes your operations. A written verdict by a judge is a voice.

Your chequebook is your voice authorizing a particular payment, thus it’s a criminal offence to forge it. A letter from the bank granting or declining an application is the voice of a person deciding the issue. Yes is a voice and no is a voice. The former indicates acceptance while the latter signifies rejection. Therefore, it is your choice to take no for yes, and vice versa.

I have had experiences with a voice saying, “We regret you are not successful at this time” or “I am sorry I can’t help you this time,” but I have refused to give in to them and because I voiced back, these voices have been reversed in my favour on many occasions.

Your bill is a voice advising you how much you have incurred on your phone, gas, electricity, and so on. Such a voice should not be buried. If you throw it away or keep it without appropriate response, it will come again even with a louder voice, that is, huge bills. A search or arrest warrant is a voice from the police. The people’s vote is their voice that determines who leads them. Signs on the road are a voice and it makes life easy for motorists when properly designed. To sign in or out at work is a voice saying, you resume work or finish work at a given time.

Finally, the Bible is the voice of God, believe it or not. He honours His word (voice) more than His name. At this point, you can greatly appreciate and admit that voice is powerful and mysterious and it is a universal asset. In fact, voice is a weapon. “There is no index of character as sure as the voice” (Benjamin Disraeli).

Voice, has the following elements or properties: Identification, Information, Direction, Instruction and Mission.

 

PROPERTIES OF VOICE

Identification

Deuteronomy 5: 24 (NKJV)

And you said: ‘Surely the LORD our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet He still lives.’

It started with God

Here, the voice from the midst of fire identified a supreme personality. God was not mistaken for somebody else because the voice they heard established His person. They knew it was a voice they were unfamiliar with. It was not the voice of Moses or anybody else.

Everyday life

Most parents like me can identify who among their children is saying hello. Genders can be easily identified sometimes by voice, just as friends and enemies can be distinguished from each other. Also, pastors can easily recognize their members with voice.

Jesus’ voice

With voice, it could be identified concerning who is talking or who is in charge—God or Satan. John 10:27 Jesus said, my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. Here again, Jesus established the identity of His followers by demonstrating the knowledge of their voices. He can juxtapose sinners and saint’s voices at the same time.

Employers

Similarly at interviews, this property of voice could be employed to determine if you’re an introvert or extrovert. It could be used to measure the level of intelligence or perhaps whether you have something to deliver to your employer by merely listening to your voice.

When this property is appropriated, it is a powerful tool to scan any personality.

Thus, the use of voice for identification should not be underestimated or overemphasized.

Information

Genesis 18:17 And the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing,

Access point

Voice is an important access point to information. An uninformed individual is a deformed person. In times past and in the present, voice has been so instrumental in information dissemination to generations, individuals, and heroes of faith. Yielding to this voice is a matter of choice.

What information does is to provide the opportunity for a change and your response to it determines your choice for either change or chains.

Information comes in many forms

Information could be definite, precise, or non definite. God gave a promise to Abraham. Although Abraham had an idea that he was in the program of God, the time of its materialization was not actually divulged. His future was detailed to him by God through His voice.

There is information that you need that would deliver the victory and the conquest you desire in life. This information could lead to healing, profit in business, and getting better results in all works of life. Friends, it is so vital to discover the secret of wealth and greatness with voice.

Many are beating about the bush today because there has not been a voice to lead them; they have laboured in vain and wasted their potential resources. My sincere prayer is that the Lord will send a voice to you to redirect your path from destruction and order your steps into a total recovery for perfect restoration.

Guidance

There is an informational voice you need to guide you; you are not there in reality, but you can capture what is going to happen there. With a voice of instruction, a journey of days could be completed in four days. It prevents abuse of purpose. Many are confused and in the dilemma  today of what to do, where to go, and how to do it because there is no voice to inform. It is time for you to embark on and do great things and get good results, and this will happen when you understand this mystery. 

 

Direction

Specific

This is a union brother to information; I’ll say the voice of direction has the attribute or sense of specificity. It optimizes time and maximizes resources. It is indispensable, spiritual software necessary to experience skyrocketed promotion. This is the secret of celebrities. They know where they are going, what they are doing, and pursue it defiantly while dealing ruthlessly with any obstacle. It is a driver of the optimists and a navigator for many who have excelled in life and ministry.

Focused

Voice of direction grants speed to business, ministry, family, and career. It prevents the syndrome of majoring on the minor. It averts squandering and misappropriation of recourses: It is a key to supernatural abundance and escape from likely disappointments. If you go to the wrong person for help in time of dire need lacking a voice of direction, you will come back with genuine excuses leaving you depressed.

 

Instruction

1 Kings 17:9-10 (NKJV)

"Go at once to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there. I have commanded a widow in that place to supply you with food."

So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, "Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?"

Elijah the prophet escaped starvation when the voice instructed him to the widow of Zarephat, not somewhere else or to another widow elsewhere who might have had the meal he needed for survival, but not ready to give. What a specific instruction.

Whatever season of starvation you’re going through in life: financial, spiritual, or emotional, the voice of instruction will sound to you and it will send you to the right place, right person, and at the right time, in Jesus’ name.

Those who have enjoyed this voice of instruction in their journey of life are always on top and people will say, “They are lucky.” In the name of Jesus, you’re the next in line.

Mission

It is a great treasure of discovery to know that voice has a property of mission or assignment—to add to life or to deplete it.

Mark 11; 12-14, 20-21(NKJV)

Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.” And His disciples heard it. Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.” (This is the effect of voice in less than twenty-four hours.) Listen, you can pronounce death on any unfruitful or unpleasant trees bearing toxic fruits in your business.

The ultimate result

The account of the scripture above shows that voice functions to achieve specific goal or task. Whenever a voice is uttered, the higher and lower classes of creatures respond to this stimulus. The fig tree heard and obeyed the voice of Jesus; it became dry completely. This demonstrates the incredible power of voice. Many lives have been withered by voices of men, but I have come to say to you, there is hope for your future. The tree of your life will become fresh again in Jesus’ name.

Proven research

Here is an outcome of a research project which demonstrates the physiological effects of voice and how voice can mar or make lives. There were two flower plants subjected to the same condition of growth. Both were watered, pruned, and equally cared for but there was something different about them; to one of these flowers every blessed morning, something good was pronounced on it. The words spoken was something like, “What a beautiful flower,” or “You are so lovely, attractive, and bright.” The other flower had negative statements spoken to it.

This continued over a reasonable period of time and when the time came to assess them, the one pleasant vocal treatment look healthier and attractive than the other plant with the negative vocal treatment.

Here comes the great vocal impact! Even though they were both flowers of the same species, what made the difference between them was the voice.

A note for parents

I read the story of a young man called Ben Carson (a renowned neurosurgeon today). When he was in high school, he was the class dummy; but his mother kept saying to him, “Ben, if anybody can do anything, you can do better.”

Today, he is recognized as the man who successfully separated Siamese twins joined skull to skull. That operation took them twenty-two hours, with a team of seventy surgeons. Ben Carson was the head of the team. He was making rounds around the world. It will also interest you to know that Ben is a black American; so, black is not synonymous with deficiency. Notice the influence of voice in the mouth of a positive mother who understood the power of voice. Parents, I encourage you change your attitude toward your children.

Listen, this condition cannot last forever if you employ the weaponry of voice constructively; your son, daughter, wife, and husband can change. Voice can change that condition to a desirable position. Understand this, that every voice has a mission, so do not take or handle it with levity.

Reverse any negative effects

This is a real life story. I ministered to a woman about a year ago. She lent an intimate friend of hers a huge sum of money for a particular business which eventually failed. She had no means to repay the loan, but due to her insistence on repayment, she employed the service of an Islamic priest from her native country to speak against her.

This happened, at a particular time, she knew her friend was planning to visit her native country in order to make her vulnerable. Such that if she travelled, she would never have any opportunity to come back to the country in which she resided, and the debt would be cancelled. After this, she mysteriously found herself in a complex immigration mess beyond human explanation.

This plan was revealed during prayer when the voice of the perpetrator spoke through her and the cause of her plight was uncovered. To the glory of God, today, that plan was reversed and she’s happily living in Ireland.

 

Old Testament knowledge

Numbers 22: 3-6 (NKJV)

The Israelites witnessed a vocal attack during the exodus in order to control their expansion and enlargement. The Midianites were threatened by their settlement next to them and went to employ the service of a prophet’s voice to curse the people of God. Why? So that they would be vulnerable to his attack. They needed the prophet’s voice because the people of God were too mighty, and they might drive them out of their land. It, therefore, became so clear here concerning the mission of a voice.

In the name of Jesus, every voice assigned to evacuate you from your land of rest or to curse you, will bless you in return. The terrible voices that intimidate you in dreams will stop unexpectedly, in Jesus’ name.

I don’t care who and how your life has been injured, battered, or withered through voice; you will experience a dramatic restoration. Voices, such as described above, have architected the downfall of many businesses, calamities of many children, tragedy of many homes, and retardation of progress. I don’t know which voice is on a mission in your life, family, or ministry but as far as it is a deadly or destructive mission, it will not bear fruit in the name of Jesus.

As you are reading through this book, every voice that has corrupted your past and is tormenting your family and career, hurting your present life, and hunting your future will be silenced by the supreme voice. You will be free from any negative voice controlling your life and family in Jesus’ name.  

 

PRAY ALONG

· I activate, in the name of Jesus, the voice of direction in my life.

· I activate, in the name of Jesus, the voice of instruction in my life.

· I activate, in the name of Jesus, the voice of information in my life.

· I deactivate every voice of confusion in my life, in the name of Jesus.

· I command to wither and dry the trees and fruits of evil voices in my life, in the name of Jesus.
