Peter complained to Jesus about how they were unable to catch even one fish after an overnight toil. Imagine a husband like Peter going to work and coming back with zero. So painful. Right? But when Jesus showed him what to do, he caught so many fish that the net he was using with the other fishermen in the boat started breaking. One miracle cancelled out a twelve-hour zero work. Dear one, wait on God for divine direction.
You are to serve God in the new way of the Spirit. That new way of the Spirit for divine service doesn’t have specific human rules attached to it. No! The guide is the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
Partial trust in God brings partial results. However, complete surrender unlocks the fullness of His power in your life. He’s waiting in the secret place, ready to be not just a part of your life but your very foundation. Are you prepared to let go of every other foundation and make Him your only source? Today, take that step. Release those backup plans, lay down those false securities, and watch how God moves when He becomes your first and only choice.
Dear entrepreneur, check for God’s will before starting that business. When you get clarity about it, it’ll either save you from wasting your time (if God doesn’t approve it) or help you make good returns on your investment (when God approves it).
In Isaiah 58:11, it is written that the Lord will guide His people always. That means believers in Christ have access to divine guidance from the Lord. It’s your privilege, child of God, to get guidance from the omniscient God who never gets it wrong in everything He does.
Jesus said, “… if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.” That means that as a leader, having a vision prevents you from living a careless life. Secondly, as a follower, who you follow affects the direction your life will take.
God will hardly tell you the details of how to fulfil the ideas He inspires your heart with. Do you know why? It’s because He is the director of your steps to the vision. That is why you don’t need to worry about the “how” behind the purposes of God concerning your life. He will direct you there. So fret not!
As a believer in ministerial training, you must allow able ministers to guide you. It’s not everything you’ll know how to do when you are under training. So, the guidance of experienced ministers can help you avoid many mistakes. Don’t be proud; be subject to godly correction.
You train your spiritual eye to see by beholding God’s Word in all that you do. That is why consistent study of the scriptures, coupled with prayer and fasting, is essential in your life as a believer.
You must labour to have a healthy spiritual eye. But how? By investing in knowing God intimately every single day. Prioritise prayer, Word study, fasting and going to church regularly. Doing these consistently will illuminate your spirit with Christ, and your life will follow the direction of God’s purposes.
Your life is not a football to get tossed to and fro by the suggestions and directions of men, of which several of them live confused. Seek to know God’s will and follow suit. It will help you.
Living with the future in mind or knowing what is yet to happen in your life or on Earth is not merely for prophets. It is for every believer.
