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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
