SCRIPTURE: The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 3:8.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: No child of God is permitted to live a soundless life; out of your life must come out positive sound.
My wife and I had an experience many years ago in a shop mall in New Jersey, USA. A man walked up to me, and said, “You are a pastor.”
I asked him, “How do you know?”
And he said, “I see it all over you. It is written all over you.”
Only God knows what he heard.
We had another experience in the Wembley area, in London while checking into a hotel. We met a young lady who looked like someone from a North African country at the reception. She looked at me and said, “What you have, I want it.”
My first reaction was to ignore her as if I never heard what she said. Then she persisted and said, “What you have, I want it.”
When we finished checking in, we went to the lobby and sat down. I asked my wife to call her. The people who invited us were also there.
I asked the young lady, “What are you talking about?”
She said, “I don’t know exactly what it is, but I know that whatever you have, I want it.”
Then I said to her, “I have Jesus Christ. I have the Power of God, and I have the Holy Spirit in me. I have the anointing of the Holy Ghost.”
And she said, “Everything you just talked about, I want it.”
And this lady is not even a Christian; she is a young Arab girl, a Muslim.
You see, our lives are meant to produce positive sounds.
Our anchor Scripture reveals that a child of God is born of the Spirit, and one character of the Holy Spirit is the wind. This means, every child of God is born of the wind.
And major character of the wind is the making of audible sound. The wind has an audible sound. This means, everyone who is born of the Spirit of God should live a life of sound, positive sound. That is, your life, as a child of God, should be “sound-full.”
No child of God is permitted to live a soundless life; out of your life must come out positive sound.
Remember this: No child of God is permitted to live a soundless life; out of your life must come out positive sound.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- What sound is your life producing? Is it a positive or negative sound?
- Make up your mind and let your life produce positive, quality and impactful sound to your generation.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for Your Word to me today. Let my life continue to produce a sound of godly character filled with righteousness, impact, power, blessing and joy to the world around me, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: As a Christian, your firm focus on God is a rebuke on the unbeliever’s scattered focus. Your discipline rebukes their compromise, so they cannot withstand you. They cannot stay near you. And if they cannot stay near you, their evil cannot touch you. Culled from the book, “15 KINGDOM STRATEGIES FOR SURVIVAL” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Psalm 49-51.
AMAZING FACT: Your ears never stop growing.
PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): May your life produce such sound that will pull people to the saving knowledge of the Master in this season in Jesus’ Name.
