SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE
Memorise: The meek will he guide in
judgement: and the meek will he teach his way. Psalm 25:9
Read: Exodus 4:12-15, Bible in one year:
Ezekiel 36:16-37:28, Revelation 16
It brings great pain to God when His
children refuse His guidance. There are many believers still living in bondage
because they refused the guidance of God. There are many in wrong relationship,
wrong businesses, wrong careers, wrong locations and wrong vocations simply
because they have refused to trust the ability of God to guide them. Many pray
for God’s guidance, but they refuse this guidance when the way of God is
showing them seems different from what they want. Some years ago, a brother was
asked to relocate from his company’s branch in western Nigeria to the northern Nigeria branch.
The Lord further revealed to him that he would not stay in the north for long
but that he should relocate first. On hearing that he would still return to the
west, he began to question God on why it was necessary for him to go up north
at all, but he obeyed. Little did he know that the Lord wanted to exonerate him
from a disaster that was about to happen. After this event, he appreciated the
love of God. The scripture says in Isaiah 30:21,
“And
thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in
it when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.”
If you partner with God, He will guide
you in every area of your life for your own good. He will remove from your path
those things that looks good but the end of which is utter destruction. If you
are in partnership with God, He will warn you of danger zones. He will warn you
against “blessings” that will lead to your destruction. He will guide you
against marrying someone who will cause you irrecoverable loss in the journey
of life. He will show you opportunities that people despise but which possess
great potentials. There are many people experiencing loss everyday simply
because they have not trusted in the guidance of the Almighty God who knows
everything (Proverbs 3:5-6).
There are times God will say “No” to a
beautiful request. When this happens, the one asking feels disappointed. But to
the One who has all power, there are great things compared to what is being
asked for. In spite of all the prayer efforts you have invested in certain
requests, God can still say “No” if He has something great in the offing for
you. Have you been trusting God for a particular blessing for so long? I have
good news for you. Do not be discouraged; God has something better for you
because you are a child of covenant and because you have no appointment with
failure. The best is reserved for you as you trust His guidance and submit to
His will for your life.
Prayer Point: Father, please remove
every communication gap between us that hinders me from knowing your will.
