In the Holy Bible, God likens Himself as the Shepherd and His people as sheep. Why is this so? It is because there are several similar traits between sheep and God’s people.
Ezekiel 34:30-31 Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them and that they, the Israelites, are my people, declares the Sovereign Lord. You are my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
Relying on Shepherd
When a sheep falls down, it is unable to rise up by itself as it falls on its back with its legs up. Without the help of the shepherd to stand on their fours, sheep will have a risk of suffocation. Likewise, during our spiritual journey of faith, we may face different obstacles making us fall. We too, need the help of our Shepherd to stand. Whatever befalls us, we should never hesitate to ask God for help (Matthew 7:7).
Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Chewing the Cud
Sheep’s appetite is a strong indicator of health. Healthy sheep are eager to eat, chewing their cuds for hours a day. The word of God is spiritual food (Matthew 4:4). As God’s sheep, we should always ruminate on the words of God. Our faith grows when we hear God’s words.
Romans 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
Flocking together
Sheep are social animals. When one sheep moves, the rest follow. They become highly agitated if they are separated from the flock. The Bible also teaches us that God is pleased when we are united.
Psalms 133:1 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
Known for their strong flocking, sheeps band together in large numbers for protection. In fact, when a sheep is being isolated from the flock, it is one of the early signs of illness. Sheep that flock together creates a challenge for predators to pick a sheep out of a group. God gives His warning in the Bible to watch out for wolves that devour the sheep.
Matthew 7:15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
God’s Sheep
Sheep have an excellent sense of hearing. They easily recognize the shepherd’s voice and do not respond to another shepherd’s call. Jesus Christ specifically mentioned God’s sheep’s ability to hear His voice.
John 10:26-28 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
Just as sheep recognize the voice of their shepherd, the people of God recognize the voice of God. Since God’s sheep listen to His voice and follow Him, this implies God’s people will obey the commandments as taught by Jesus. Only by keeping God’s commandments can we receive eternal life (John 12:50).
We should listen to God’s Word and follow God’s commandments.
I give thanks to Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother for calling me.
I really thanks to Elohim God let me to listen your words like sheep. As sheep always follow shepherd, I want to follow Elohim God wherever they lead me
I really thanks to Elohim God for coming to this earth as a shepherd and saving me and loving me. I will follow Elohim God Forever more.
It is ritten that My sheep listen to my voice in the Bible. This is God’s saying. We can see this word really accomplish. It is so interesting.
This article encourages me to practice perfect obedience towards God who regards us as Their everything, just like the little sheep who recognises and follows the shepherd wherever he goes. I also realized how important unity and love among our brothers and sisters are!
I am happy to meet true god. Many christian follow false christ. Just as the sheep listen to shepherd,let us follow God the father and mother as our savior.
I will listen to and practice every word of God the Father and Mother as much as I can from now on.
I thank God for the ear that can hear the voice of the true shepherd and the eye that can see!🐏 When the blind man leads the blind, both fall into the pit, and this is the reality of Christianity today! But with the help of God our spiritual eyes are open and we can discern this! It is truly a thankful and amazing blessing from God!🙂
Elohim God; Father and Mother are the good shepherd who feed me the best spiritual food and take care of me so i will follow only the voice of Them.
It is really amazing how God likened us to sheep and God to its shepherd. Sheep can only survive from wolves when they listen to the voice of its shepherd and live. We too, when we listen to the voice of God our shepherd we can receive eternal life. Just like sheep listens only to the words of the shepherd, I too as God’s sheep must only listen to the words of God Elohim.
Amen! I’d like to become God the Father and Mother’s sheep so that I can please Them and enter the kingdom of heaven where they lead us to. Really God’s sheep listen to God’s voice.
Thanks to our real Shepherds, God the Father and God the Mother. I feel very happy every day to hear words of Elohim God in Zion where keeps feasts of God.
The thing is not just being able to listen to God’s voice but follow them even till the end! Wanna truly remain in the arms of God no matter what happen to me~! Thanks to Elohim God, my true shepherd 🙂
The definite evidence to prove to be God’s children is, following God’s words. Thanks to Heavenly Father and Mother to let us follow Spirit and the Bride’s voice.
The sheep only listen to the voice of shepherd not of the others. But, God’s sheep-saints of God would not listen to the voice of God.But, our God, God the Father n God the Mother give a chance once to listen for our salvation. Listen n pay attention !!
Thanks to God! As the sheep follow their shepherd, we should follow the God the Father and Heavenly Mother.If the sheep lose favor in shepherd’s eyes, they will be in danger. Likewise, we can not live without the God’s care. I am grateful because I can believe in God!!!
Spiritually, there are many Christians calling themselves sheep of God, but they are not listening to the voice of God or following his commands. Then how would God say about them? God will say, “I never knew you. Away from me.” As people of God we must listen to our Shepherd and God will lead us to good pasture.
This article is so cute and easy to understand.
I want to be a sheep who follow only God.
God’ words are so amazing! I become awakened through God’ voice.
Sheeps must follow shepherd. Why??if lost way to go back, they will be died or killed by wolf…. our spirit also same situation. If we follow fake christ, where do we go??? Go back to hell!!!. But If we follow real christ as The spirit and Bride,we will go back to our home as kingdom of heaven…. well noted!!!! Amen!!!!!
This article gives me many lessons to me, a child of God. Sheep should listen to voice of Shepherd not to be devoured by predator.
And, I have to eat Sheep’s food, God’s words for my spiritual health.
God is Shepherd and we are His sheep. Just as God tends us likened to sheep or a little lamb, we have to look after our fellow sheep, heaven’s family. The word, ‘shepherd’ is derived from ‘sheepherder’ which means a person who tends, herds, feeds, or guards herds of sheep. Taking God’s true love to our heart let’s go forward to seek our brothers and sisters. Cuz I do want to be God’s good daughter to follow His teaching to be awarded a crown of life as the gospel commission Thanks to Father and Mother 😀
Our Heavenly Parents are saying to us
” if you love me, tend and feed my sheeps”
I want to find our lost brothers and sisters
and deliever the pining voice of our real parents
to the end!
Thanks to heavenly Father and heavenly Mother to be sheep of God and to hear God’s precious voice of salvation. Also let us take care of God’s sheep each other who are sick.
God’s people must listen to God’s words. I give all thanks to our Heavenly Father and Mother whom are God almighty giving ears to listen and follow God’s words.
We can tell God’s voice only through the Bible because it is the words of God.
Without studying the Bible, we cannot hear God’s voice and know what to do for our salvation.
I will always follow you, God the mother.
Thanks to elohim god
I will forever follow god’s commandment 🙂
I’m one of God’s sheep. I will listen to God’s voice.
I will follow Elohim God. Thanks for choosing me. ^^
“My sheep listen to my voice!”, said God the Savior through the Bible. We can hear God’s voices for our salvation through the Bible. When we turn a deaf ear to the treachings of the Bible, we’ll not find the way to the kingdom of heaven at all. If you refuse to follow the Bible, you are far from the kingdom of heaven.
As a sheep of Elohim God, I’ll do my effort to listen to Their voice and teachings. Thanks to God the Father and God the Mother for allowing this gracious article to teach us.
I just think sheep is very cute animals. I didn’t know why Jesus hold sheep on his arms in the picture. Through the characteristics of sheep understand saints likened as sheep.

God’s children listen God’s words if you can not understand God’s words ,you should pray to God that you wanna know God’s words
God’s people listen to God’s teachings. We should follow God and then we can save and go back to the kingdom of heaven.
The voice of God always leads us safely to salvation, comforts us, and binds us together into love.
I give all my heart and love to Heavenly father and heavenly mother.
We should listen God’s voice because we are the children of God so we will save and go back to heaven.
We don’t know where we go, so we must follow our shepherd, Eolhim God.
We thank God for being a shepherd who has gathered us from wandering in the world and brought us to Zion, the resting place of salvation. Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother are true shepherds :-> I will follow them forever.

Like a healthy sheep has a good appetite and chews the cud all day long, I’ll try to ruminate on God’s words as my spiritual food and listen to His voice always.
Wow ^^ It is so amazing. Why God liken to a sheep. Through the characteristics, we can understand what we shld do so that we can be healthy used spiritually ^^
I am so happy to be God’s sheep! I was just thinking how dreadful it would be for us sheep to not have a shepherd and be gobbled down by fake sheep! I am going to carefully listen to and ruminate on God’s words to always recognize only God’s voice~
🙂I am very happy that I am in a group of sheep listening to the shepherd’s voice. We live in the protection of God every day. But there are so many false shepherds in the world that threaten the lives of sheep. I would like to go to heaven by becoming a sheep who listen only to the voice of the shepherd until the end. Thanks to Elohim God, the true shepherd who takes care of us with the word of life today too!
we were the lost sheep once but found now by God Elohim. Thanks to God for being my true shepherd and allowing us to hear Your voice..I also want to be a healthy sheep.. not forget immediately after listening the words but trying to ruminate on the teachings of God and put into practice in unity with loving brothers and sister!! Wow 😄 this article is really so nice 👍 Thank you!
It’s so touching that our true shepherd came to save us. Through the teachings of he bible, God enable us to recognise our Shepherd’s voice. Now I am no longer in fear for I have come to into the arms of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. 🤗🐑
Sheeps are so vulnerable and helpless in all kinds of situation. No wonder they will always need a True Shepherd who will protect them from wolves, feed them with proper food and lead them to green pasture. This is so true for us who are God’s sheep! We always need God’s help in everything we do. God the Father and Mother, our True Shepherd always protect us from danger, endlessly feeding us with spiritual food so that we may not grow cold in faith and leading our path back to Heaven. Thanks to Our Father and Mother’s love, devotion and sacrifice. 😀
As God also wants us to be shepherds of his church, let’s call out to younger sheep so they may return to their pen hearing the voice of God!
Yes, Elohim God have chosen us and called us to Zion. As Shepherd, Elohim God protect and feed us from Zion the place Elohim God dwell.
God’s will is truly amazing and demonstrated in all creations. Like sheep, we all need to be united in the love of God Elohim Holy Spirit and bride in order to be protected and not deceived by wolves in sheep skin! Truly give thanks to God the Father and Mother! It is so Great that World Mission Society Church of God is delivering spiritual food for spiritual sheep:)
Wow! Now i understand why God liken us to sheep… Just as sheep needs the shepherd, we too need God to get up again 😀
The animations are cute but I certainly learned something from this article! I always thought they looked kind of cute with their legs in the air but never knew it meant danger. Likewise, we ought not to think we are capable of anything but should always rely on God to help us. Thanks to our Shepherds, the Spirit and the Bride! 🙂
The sheep is very cute in the article. I realize that I have to become like a sheep. I will listen to God’s voice.
