DIVINE DIRECTION

Psalms 37:23. 

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

Everyone needs direction in life, but more importantly, everyone needs divine direction in life.

Have you ever been misled while seeking for direction to a place before? It can be very frustrating. But what is more frustrating is to lack God's direction in life.

Jeremiah 10:23 says, _O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps_ Yes, man lacks the capacity to correctly direct his own steps in life. Man lacks the ability to correctly control his own life.

Only the Lord can order the steps of man in the right path and in the path of destiny. However, God will not order everyone's steps, He will only order the steps of those who surrender to Him.

Eliezer, Abraham's servant who was saddled with the responsibility of looking for a wife for Issac, (Abraham's son,)  committed his ways to the Lord and God ordered his steps aright.

Eliezer prayed thus- May it be that the young woman to whom I ask, ‘Please, lower your jug so that I may drink,’ responds, ‘Have a drink, and I’ll water your camels as well.’ May she be the one whom you have chosen for your servant Isaac. This is how I’ll know that you have shown your gracious love to my master.” Genesis 24:14. Before he had finished speaking, Rebekah appeared.

In response to his heartfelt prayer, the steps of Rebecca was divinely directed and led into destiny.

How come it was Rebecca who came out immediately after the man's prayer? How was the timing so perfect like that? Well, it can only be through divine direction.

God ordered the steps of Rebecca to the well that fateful day, but ultimately God was ordering her steps into the lineage of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

To fulfill destiny, your steps must be divinely directed everyday.

Psalms 37:5 says, *Commit your way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.* Trust the Lord to divinely direct your steps this year and forever.

 Bible reading:

 Genesis 24:1-28.

 *PRAYER FOCUS*

Father, I commit my ways to you that you might grant me divine direction in Jesus name.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
