“O a halalela! O a halalela!

O a halalela Morena wa mabotho,

8Yaba ke utlwa lentswe la Morena le re: “Ke tla roma mang? Ke mang ya tla ya bakeng sa rona?”

Yaba ke re: “Ke nna enwa! Nthome!”

ESAYA 6:1-8SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

If we want to hear God’s voice speaking to us, we need to follow the example set by men and women of God. If we emulate Isaiah in our attitude and spiritual habits, we will start ‘hearing’ God speaking directly to us.

Author Oswald Chambers states, ‘God did not direct His call to Isaiah – Isaiah overheard God saying, ‘…who will go for Us?’ The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude.’
