THEME : SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE
Memorise:
The meek will he guide in judgement: and the meek will he teach his way. Psalm 25:9
Read: Exodus 4:12-15
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
13 And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is
not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And
also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he
will be glad in his heart.
15 And thou shalt speak unto him, and
put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his
mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : EZEKIEL 36:16-37:28 and REVELATION 16
Message
It brings great pain to God when His children refuse
His guidance. There are many believers still living in bondage because
they have refused the guidance of God. There are many in wrong
relationships, wrong businesses, wrong careers, wrong locations and
wrong vocations simply because they have refused to trust the ability of
God to guide them. Many pray for God’s guidance, but they refuse this
guidance when the way God is showing them seems different from what they
want. Some years ago, a brother was asked to relocate from his
company’s branch in western Nigeria to the northern Nigeria branch. The
Lord further revealed to him that he would not stay in the north for
long but that he should relocate first. On hearing that he would still
return to the west, he began to question God on why it was necessary for
him to go up north at all, but he obeyed. Little did he know that the
Lord wanted to exonerate him from a disaster that was about to happen.
After this event, he appreciated the love of God. The scripture says in
Isaiah 30:21,
“And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee,
saying, This is the way, walk ye in it when ye turn to the right hand,
and when ye turn to the left.”
If you partner with God, He will
guide you in every area of your life for your own good. He will remove
from your path those things that looks good but the end of which is
utter destruction. If you are in partnership with God, He will warn you
of danger zones. He will warn you against “blessings” that will lead to
your destruction. He will guide you against marrying someone who will
cause you irrecoverable loss in the journey of life. He will show you
opportunities that people despise but which possess great potentials.
There are many people experiencing loss everyday simply because they
have not trusted in the guidance of the Almighty God who knows
everything (Proverbs 3:5-6).
There are times God will say “No” to
a beautiful request. When this happens, the one asking feels
disappointed. But to the One who has all power, there are great things
compared to what is being asked for. In spite of all the prayer efforts
you have invested in certain requests, God can still say “No” if He has
something greater in the offing for you. Have you been trusting God for a
particular blessing for so long? I have good news for you. Do not be
discouraged; God has something better for you because you are a child of
covenant and because you have no appointment with failure. The best is
reserved for you as you trust His guidance and submit to His will for
your life.
Prayer Point:
Father, please remove every communication gap between us that hinders me from knowing your will.
