DIVINE DIRECTION

Text : 1 Samuel 9:12

They answered them: “Yes, he is right there ahead of you. Hurry, for he came to town just today because there is a sacrifice for the people on the high place today.

Have you ever asked someone for direction before who misled you and took you farther away from your destination? Well, if you haven't experienced it before you probably will know someone who has.

It is not wrong to seek for direction but you need to be directed by the right person in order to be correctly directed.

Saul and his servant got a divine direction in their quest for their father's lost donkeys. 

When your steps are ordered by the Lord, He will make lines to fall in pleasant places for you. Psalms 16:6.

It looks as though those women from whom Saul inquired were purposely stationed there to help him.

See the detailed response they gave him- As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some young women going out to draw water, and they told them, “Is the seer here?”

They answered them: “Yes, he’s right there ahead of you. Hurry, for he came to town just today because there is a sacrifice for the people on the high place today. (1 Samuel 9:11-12)

This is why Psalms 37:23 says *The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

Everyone needs direction in life, and once you are well directed, you are well positioned to fulfilling destiny. 

Bible reading: 1 Samuel 9:1-27.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father, please order my steps to the right path that my life may gain direction.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
