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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
