Factors that hinder receiving from a voice ;
1. Familiarity
Familiarity will stop you from benefitting from both men and God.
Where they saw Jesus as a son of Joseph the carpenter, He did so little in their midst.
You will never receive from from someone you consider equal to you , someone you despise or consider too obvious to you.
Familiarity is not among the postures that grant access into the graces that work upon men.
When you trivialize men, they close their heart towards you. You won't get even a secret from them.
2. Result oriented mindset/Respect for pedigree
Results speak better and louder.
You cannot be an authority in a subject you do not practice.
However, when we only listen to successful people or men who have results alone, we risk missing the point.
We should also pay attention to those in our midst who have attempted the journey to success but failed along the way. They have something to say.
Everyone you meet in this life may big help you, but they may teach you something.
A child can show you something, a gatekeeper can help you with advice, connection or direction.
The little boy showed Samson the Pillars
Rahab the pr******te hid the spies
Joseph the carpenter fathered Jesus the king
Abraham had only one son yet God calls him the father of great nations.
Noah was building the ark when there was zero signs of a heavy downpour.
Uziah was the youngest yet very successful king of Israel
The donkey carried Jesus into the city.
The raven fed prophet Elijah.
Apostle Paul was not married (though some theologians suggest otherwise) but he has heavy and balanced council on marriage and family.

Say something 😂😂
Do not fall for the trap of going after results and pedigree, God can use anyone and anything to do anything.
